„December, Hotel Nacional“ was the code for the legendary, probably most important and opulent Mafia Congress (1946) in the history of the italo-american „Mob“, also mentioned in the famous movie „The Godfather“. Disguised as an „Homage to Frank Sinatra“, who had to sing and perform as an evening entertainer for the big bosses, more than 500 „delegates“ from New York, Chicago and Las Vegas were holding their conference in an extraordinary peaceful and solemn atmosphere under the direction of Lucky Luciano. Learn more about this and many other mob stories during our excursion „The Mafia in Havana“, while chauffeur-driven in your stylish American 1950s vintage car. Thrilling anecdotes about Mafia Boss Meyer-Lansky and his direct connections to dictator Batista, about drug trafficking and the sizzling, decadent, scandalous nightlife of the 1950s with its cabarets, brothels and casinos. From Mafia-Hotels like the Riviera whose swimming-pool until today has the shape of a coffin, to the American B-Movie star and doorman George Raft, whose gangster face even forced Fidel Castros revolutionaries to withdraw, when they came to destroy his casino at the Capri Hotel. Our English speaking „Mafia-Guide“ will lead you through Havana’s former underworld and show you the relevant locations including a lunch at a former popular Mafia restaurant. And please do not forget the tip, as otherwise perhaps you might not leave Havana alive.
