Hotel Floribunda is a collection of short stories set in and around a hotel in Havana, Cuba. Each story offers a glimpse into the lives of guests, workers, and passersby; moments of vulnerability, absurdity, desire, and quiet unraveling. The hotel serves as a backdrop, a place where the ordinary brushes up against the strange, and nothing quite fits the brochure.
Told in a range of voices and styles, the stories are intimate, darkly funny, and emotionally sharp. There is a shared atmosphere of faded glamour, uneasy hospitality, and human contradiction. Hotel Floribunda is less about place than mood: a world suspended between check-in and check-out, where the smallest gestures carry weight and everyone is just passing through.
