Raquel four stars luxury hotel, designed in a Hebrew culture motif opened in the
old Jewish quarter of Old Havana, in 2003. Built in 1908 as a bank, the ornate Hotel
was converted to reflect a Jewish flavor. The History of the Building. "One of the most beautiful buildings among all the trading houses in Havana".
Thanks to a trading society in Havana in the early 20th century, and to the well known Venezuelan architect Naranjo Ferrer the city can exhibit today this gorgeous building. Between 1905 and 1908 the firm V. Loriente, orders the construction of the building taking the lands of San Ignacio 18 and Amargura for such a purpose, and once here it became one of the most outstanding fabric importing firms in Havana.
Varied fabrics coming from the best factories in England, the United States of America, France and Spain were on display in the building making possible the trading with the retail firms over island.
Hotel has striking, stained glass windows are installed along over the atrium.
Hotel is located near the San Francisco Square, #103 Amarguera and San Ignacio
street, just six blocks from the oldest synagogue in Cuba. The romantic ambience
of the building proposed by its harmonious art Nouveau Style, has three floors and
roof terrace. Magnificent sculpture along with the marble columns at the ground
floor makes beauty and sensuality of this romantic ambiance. Cuban artist Jose
Farinis made two contemporary paintings. All hotel floors and rooms are decorated
with paintings of prestigious Cuban painters.
