Inaugurated on March19, 1958, this sky-scraper is compounded by a basement that occupies the entire block, and a leaning vertical block that is supported in the basement. Financed with the funds of the State, the hotel was leased by the North American entity Hilton International Hotel. With the victory of the Revolution in 1959, it was temporary the headquarters of the Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, and on June 16, 1960 it was renamed as Habana Libre. 

Since 1997, in the wide lobby the musical fountain   called Clepsydra is located, a  piece of work  by the Cuban sculptress Rita Longa (1912-2000). Just as its name indicates, it evokes the clock of water that the Greeks and Roman used before the hourglass existed. Of nine meters of high and a meter of diameter, stainless steel and glass was used in its making. With a central nucleus of metal, it has twelve glass pieces that represent the hours of the day. Seconds before every hour, it actions its amazing combination of lights, sound and water: a musical piece is listened and the lights are on in combination with the music. Then a light beam hits the corresponding hour glass. 

  In total, this five-star hotel, which has the EXCEL category, has 574 available rooms, of which 32 are junior suites; four, Mister Suites, and two, governor suites. From the very moment the hotel was born as project at the end of the decade of the 50´s, the current Habana Libre Tryp hotel was conceived as an installation that, starting from its own facade, anyone could breathe art for all sides. 

 You have now many reasons to come and stay. Reasons more than enough this tourist establishment has, so that, after enjoying it, many of its illustrious guests have conferred it the deserved condition like a hotel for the art.
