Our Venue

Hotel Haya honors the roots of Ybor City,&nbsp;carrying the spirit of the founding fathers and cigar artisans who established&nbsp;the neighborhood.&nbsp;Paying homage to Ignacio Haya whose cigar factory, Haya y Sanchez, was significant for rolling the first cigar in Tampa. Haya was instrumental in building Ybor City alongside another notable cigar manufacturer Vicente Ybor for whom the neighborhood was named. Haya’s factory was one of the first in the nation to make cigars from the light-colored Cuban tobacco called “Clear Havana.”
