Lonely Planet review for Palacio Cueto
The square’s most distinctive building is the Gaudí-esque Palacio Cueto, Havana’s finest example of art nouveau that was constructed in 1906. Its outrageously ornate facade once housed a warehouse and a hat factory before it was rented by José Cueto in the 1920s as the Palacio Vienna hotel. Habaguanex has recently pledged to restore the building, empty and unused since the early ’90s.
