One of the most historic hotels in Cuba, the Hotel Nacional de Cuba is in the center of Havana, with views over the Havana Harbor and the city. The iconic city hotel has pulled its fair share of stars over the course of its 81 years history with names like Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner gracing the guestbook.

Puglia

Why You’re Going: An ideal location for couples who want a quintessential and refined Italian experience, without the throngs of people.
