This hotel was refurbished in the late 1950's and is still open today.  Some of the famous who have stayed here are: Buster Keaton, Tyrone Power,  Errol Flyn, Marlon Brando and the famous Ernest Hemingway, who donated a blue fish specimen to the “Sirena” bar.

The hotel’s reputation as a deluxe host is backed by patrons such as Winston Churchill, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, scientist Alexander Flemming, and innumerable Ibero American Heads of State and European monarchs.
