The first vice minister of Tourism, Juan Carlos García Granda, said that in the face of the escalation of the blockade of the United States government, “the opening of this hotel shows all our visitors and the world that we are not invaded by confusion, the country is still alive, functioning and developing economically ”.

He said that, like others in Cuba, the new hotel is equipped with high technologies, with facilities that guarantee a diversity of services. “All our actions are focused on continuing to strengthen the tourism industry as one of the main sectors in the economic contribution of the country. Cuba and tourism open up to new business opportunities, ”he said.

The historian of Havana, Eusebio Leal Spengler, recalled the history of the city, “always beautiful and untouchable”, particularly the place where the new hotel has been built: the corner of Prado and Malecón.Inaugurated the Paseo del Prado Hotel in Havana

Leal said: “schools, cultural centers, libraries for children are inaugurated with equal energy because everything has been done for these days and for every day. For that, we have worked. Only the powerful Social Revolution, which reached power in 1959, could move such stones, only she could put a deadly adversary and keep him in permanent humiliation. ”Inaugurated the Paseo del Prado Hotel in Havana
