Havana, Cuba; an exotic Caribbean escape for the rich and famous. A captivating destination of glamour, power, and sensuality. Celebrities and entertainers flood casinos, nightclubs, hotels and bars. Spend an evening with the spirits of Ernest Hemingway and Frank Sinatra. Let yourself become immersed in the in the mystery, luxury and elegance of 1930’s Havana. This is the place to see and be seen.

Havana Deco has Caribbean spice, tropical flair and an Afro- Cuban influence. Characterized by Latin geometric motifs of fruits, birds, and palm trees. This style is youthful, sensual and chic.

Reflections are constantly evolving, abstracting and creating unique images. Much the way curved windowpanes reflect the surrounding architecture of the city; the concept of reflection will both literally and figuratively reflect the historical evolution of Havana’sculture.

The restaurant will reflect the influences that have formed Havana; the vibrancy and sensuality of Spain and the glamour and elegance of the American Jazz Age. Opulent spaces will recall the exotic mystery of the Far East. The atmosphere will be bold, intimate,and mysterious, eliciting feelings of warmth and passion.
