Havana Riviera Hotel
Igor B. Polevitzky; Manuel Carrera Machado · Havana, Cuba · 1957
Igor Polevitzky’s waterfront hotel uses a modernist slab, carefully organized balconies and public spaces facing the sea. Its architecture represents the expansion of large-scale hospitality in mid-century Havana, with a strong relationship between the building’s form and its Malecón setting. Visiting: A working hotel on the Malecón. The lobby and public spaces can usually be visited; the oval casino hall has been used for events.
