Modelo Brewery, designed by the Cuban architect Enrique Luis Varela, was built in 1948 for Compañia Ron Bacardi S.A.[1][2] Its address is the corner of 52 and Carretera Central, Cotorro, Havana, Cuba.

[3] This building has a modern aesthetic and proportions typical of Varela's works (Revolution Square in Havana), The corner is a cylinder hinge between two facades.

One side is dotted with small windows, the other almost blank and marked by horizontal bands reminiscent of the Streamline Moderne architecture style.

This brewery was constructed ten miles from Havana in a site named El Cotorro in 1948.

[2] Beginning in 2011, the Bacardi family again began making beers in the United States to market under the Hatuey label.
