Hotel Oloffson - Haiti

The mansion was built as a residence for the powerful Sam family, including two former presidents of Haiti. The hotel was the real-life inspiration for the fictional Hotel Trianon in Graham Greene's famous 1966 novel The Comedians.

A grand old Victorian house built as a Presidential Summer Palace. Occupied by US Marines as a hospital and eventually the first hotel in Haiti. Large tropical gardens and the ocean provide views from wide cool verandas. The bar is famous for the literary and theatrical greats that have lounged here.
