Miami-based law firm Rivero Mestre has sued travel website Trivago, alleging the company benefited from property expropriated by the Cuban government after the Cuban revolution.
On May 2, President Donald Trump gave the green light for lawsuits to be lodged against companies using land confiscated by Cuba post-1959.
The plaintiffs, Marisela Mata and Bibiana Hernandez, are descendants of Antonio Mata y Alvarez, who built the San Carlos hotel in Cienfuegos in 1925 and left after the government led by Fidel Castro appropriated the hotel in 1962.
