La Rusa Hotel ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Máximo Gómez # 161, Baracoa, Guantánamo, Cuba. Postal Code: 97 310. Tel.: (+53 21) 64 3011 /This legendary little hotel was established by a Russian inmigrant (a princess) and a former dancer, Mima Rubenskaya or “La Rusa de Baracoa”. She had settled in Baracoa after fleeing the Revolution in 1917 at age six. There she is in black-and-white, framed on the wall in the lobby.
She converted her three-story home into a hotel – the Miramar – in 1953. Supposedly it hosted several illustrious guests, among them Errol Flynn and the poet Nicolás Guillén; and over the years La Rusa became active in Cuban revolutionary politics and later played host to Che Guevara, and Fidel and Raúl Castro.
