The Hotel Sevilla in Havana, Cuba, was built in 1908 as a four-story Moorish Revival structure on Calle Trocadero, next to the Paseo del Prado, between the Malecón and Parque Central by architects Arellano y Mendoza. It was bought by John McEntee Bowman and Charles Francis Flynn in 1919 and renamed the Sevilla-Biltmore Hotel. A huge ten-story tower wing, with a rooftop ballroom, was built in 1924 by noted New York architects Schultze & Weaver. It was closely associated with Havana's mafia network, being part-owned by Santo Trafficante, Jr.
The hotel was featured in Graham Greene's novel Our Man in Havana as the location where the main protagonist joins the British secret service.
The hotel is located in Old Havana and is currently run by French Multinational Accor's Mercure Hotels as the Hotel Mercure Sevilla Havane.
