PRIVATE EVENTS

In 1914, local grocer Edward Franz Melcher opened Hotel Havana with vision to recreate the

tropical allure of the hotel’s Caribbean namesake. Hotel Havana’s greatest offering is the beauty

of the original 1914 Mediterranean Revival design – Bastrop Pine floors, large colonial shuttered

windows, elegant terraces and historic elements. The hotel is listed in the National Register of

Historic Places, but manages to maintain its youthful spirit nonetheless.

Hotel Havana and Ocho provide an elegant backdrop for

private events, weddings and other important occasions.

For groups of 5 to 150, we offer a variety of unique, spaces

on our historic grounds and an array of catering and plan-

ning services suited to life’s most memorable celebrations.
