The
Bacardi building in Havana is located on Avenida de Belgica 261 between
Empedrado and San Juan de Dios in Old Havana
The building was designed by the
architects Rafael Fernández Ruenes, Esteban Rodríguez Castell and Jose
Menendez for the Bacardi rum company
The art deco building was completed in 1930 and was at that time the largest building in Havana
After the Cuban revolution and the departure of Bacardi from Cuba the building remained
in use as an office
The renovation of the exterior was almost finished and the building
looked lovely
On the inside is still a lot to be done
We have paid the doorman a CUC entrance per person
The last two floors we had to take the stairs
We were shocked on the top floor of the poor state of repair
The balcony was full of cracks so we didn`t dare leaning against the edge
The entrance was beautifully decorated with marble and stained glass
