Mexico City to Shut Down Sheraton Maria Isabel Hotel
The AP reports that Mexico City officials have shut down the Sheraton Maria Isabel hotel for violations of city ordinances. The Sheraton Maria Isabel is the hotel that recently evicted a Cuban delegation under pressure from the Office of Foreign Assets Control. City officials said the hotel could reopen when it had corrected the violations and paid a $15,000 fine. Signs were posted at the front entrance saying, "Due to infringement of local law, the Sheraton Hotel activities have been suspended." Fifteen violations of city ordinances were cited. More than 500 guests had to be evacuated as a result of the closing.
