DescriptionHotel Nacional drink stirrer. A translucent amber plastic cocktail stirrer with a circular disc head embossed with the Hotel Nacional name and Cuba, ball tip at the base. The Hotel Nacional de Cuba opened in 1930 on the Malecón, designed by the New York firm McKim, Mead & White. This stirrer belongs to the post-1959 era, when the hotel operated under state administration, still receiving foreign guests, still stocking its bar with branded accessories.
