Fantastic to hear that Starwood is to bring three established Cuban hotels under the Starwood umbrella making it the first U.S. based hospitality company to enter the market in nearly 60 years.

Long-time Havana icon, Hotel Inglaterra, will join The Luxury Collection and Hotel Quinta Avenida will become a Four Points by Sheraton.

The famed Hotel Santa Isabel will also become a member of The Luxury Collection.
