Hotel closure after Mexico-US row

[sasha031]

Local authorities in a district of Mexico City have announced the imminent closure of a US-owned hotel at the centre of a diplomatic row.
It said the branch of the Sheraton chain had committed irregularities such as unauthorised building work and failure to provide a menu in Braille.The announcement comes as Mexico investigates the hotel for expelling 16 Cuban officials last week.
The delegation was ordered out to comply with a US embargo against Cuba. A US law bans American companies from doing business with the island.
However, the authorities in the city's central Cuauhtemoc district did not say if the closure of the Hotel Maria Isabel Sheraton was linked to the diplomatic row. There have been anti-US protests outside the building since the incident occurred.
