Starwood Hotels has taken over management of a luxury hotel in Havana, becoming the first big American hospitality chain with a presence on the island since the Cuban Revolution 50 years ago.
The newly-rechristened Cuba Four Points by Sheraton on Havana's Quinta Avenida - a hotel owned by the Cuban military - now will be managed by the American hospitality giant.
Located in Havana's Miramar district, the posh hotel, formerly known as the Quinta Avenida hotel, has rooms available from $246 per night, according to its website.
