  • Originally called Havana Biltmore Yacht & Country Club, the establishment gained notoriety when it denied entry to Cuban president Fulgencio Batista on the grounds that he was ‘black’ (in fact, Batista was a mulatto). Today, Club Habana is a luxurious private members’ club with its own beach, swimming pool, fitness center, gym, tennis courts, bar, boutiques, health club, yacht hire, scuba-diving excursions and other watersports facilities. It is frequented by foreign correspondents and diplomats.
