EDITORS COMMENTS
The Hotel Nacional de Cuba stands tall in this vintage photo print, capturing the essence of Havana, Cuba on the 21st of May, 1978. With its grand architecture and lush surroundings, it is a testament to the city's rich history and vibrant culture. Originally opened in 1930, this iconic hotel quickly became a favorite among American tourists seeking an exotic getaway. However, its significance goes beyond just being a luxurious accommodation option. During the tense Cuban missile crisis, which shook the world in October 1962, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara chose this very location as their headquarters to strategize and defend Havana from potential aerial attacks. The image showcases not only the hotel's impressive facade but also highlights the tropical beauty that surrounds it. Palm trees sway gently in the warm Caribbean breeze while adding an extra touch of paradise to this architectural gem. This photograph takes us back to a bygone era - the 1970s - when tourism was flourishing in Cuba despite political tensions with America. It serves as a visual reminder of how buildings can hold stories within their walls and become witnesses to significant historical events. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints' staff, this snapshot invites us to appreciate both architectural marvels and moments frozen in time.
