Hotel Ambos Mundos

The Hotel Ambos Mundos is famous for being where Hemingway stayed as he wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls. His room, Number 511, has been preserved as a mini-museum, which why you will often see throngs of tourists in the lobby or waiting in line to cram onto the old-fashioned elevator. The hotel’s location just off of Plaza Armas puts it right in the heart of Old Havana, but their terrace is a good place to have a drink.
