This poster of the Hotel Sevilla Biltmore is purportedly from the 1950's.  Love it. 

A little bit of history:

The Hotel Sevilla opened on March 22, 1908. [1] It was a four-story Moorish Revival structure, designed by architects Arellano y Mendozaon, located on Calle Trocadero, next to the Paseo del Prado , between the Malecón and Parque Central . The Sevilla was bought by John McEntee Bowman and Charles Francis Flynn in 1919 and renamed the Hotel Sevilla-Biltmore . In 1924, Bowman-Biltmore Hotels constructed a huge ten-story tower wing, with a rooftop ballroom, designed by noted New York architects Schultze & Weaver .

In 1939, the Sevilla-Biltmore was purchased by Italian-Uruguayan mobster Amleto Battisti y Lora . [1] Its casino was closely associated with Havana's mafia network, being part-owned by Santo Trafficante, Jr. Mobs destroyed the Sevilla-Biltmore's casino on January 1, 1959, after Fulgencio Batista fled the country overnight as Fidel Castro's rebel army approached Havana . Amleto Battisti took refuge in the Uruguayan embassy. [2] [3]

The Sevilla-Biltmore was featured in Graham Greene 's novel Our Man in Havana as the location where the protagonist joins the British secret service .

Today, the hotel is owned by the Cuban state-run Gran Caribe hotel group. The French Accor chain assumed management of it in 1996, [4] first under their Sofitel division as the Hotel Sofitel Sevilla Havana , [5] and more recently under their Mercure Hotels division as the Hotel Mercure Sevilla Havane . Accor announced plans in 2017 to renovate the Sevilla and transfer it to their boutique MGallery by Sofitel division. [6] However, Accor ceased management of the hotel on December 31, 2018.
