The Kempinski hotel company and the Gaviota group are preparing another luxury hotel in Havana, theMetropolis, which will be inaugurated in the midst of the economic and social crisis that Cubans are experiencing.

Tourism in Cuba is dying, with very low hotel occupancy and non-compliance with tourist arrival plans, but the regime continues to invest in that sector, controlled fundamentally by the military conglomerate GAESA, owner of Gaviota.

The Cuban capital is one of the most emblematic centers of the country and according to the portalTouriNews, you will soon see the rebirth ofMetropolis Hotel, strategically located in Old Havana, at the intersection of Aguacate and O'Reilly streets.

The building is owned by the Gaviota Tourism Group, and will be managed by the German chain Kempinski Hotels, recognized for its focus on luxury and exclusivity.

This will be Kempinski's third hotel in the capital and the fourth in the country, adding to its portfolio that includes the Gran Hotel Bristol and the Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski in Havana, as well as the Kempinski Resort in Cayo Guillermo, Ciego de Ávila.

Although specific details about the hotel are still limited, it is anticipated to open within five months, promising to become a new landmark of luxury hospitality in the city.

From its iconic position next to the Banco Metropolitano, the hotel is also very close to places of interest such as the Capitol, the Central Park and the Gran Teatro Alicia Alonso.

While the regime builds impressive hotels like K23, or this project byHotel Metropolis, Cuban hospitals are increasingly impoverished and do not even have surgical materials to operate on patients.

In schools, children do not have notebooks or pencils to take notes, and many go to class without breakfast, but the regime invests in more hotels, with luxurious empty rooms in Cuba.
