What this means for U.S. travelers
Casa 474 Boca Ciega is one of 431 properties on the State Department Cuba Prohibited Accommodations List as of June 2026. Havana alone has 9 CPAL-listed properties, including Aparthotel Terrazas Atlántico, Be Live Havana City Copacabana, Bello Caribe and 5 others. Under §515.210 of the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, U.S. persons are prohibited from lodging at this property. The prohibition follows the U.S. person, not the booking channel — booking through Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, or a Cuban or third-country travel agent does not change the answer.
Note: The State Department flags Casa 474 Boca Ciega with an asterisk (*), indicating this property is marketed as a private casa particular but is actually state-owned or state-controlled. Travelers who believe they are booking a private homestay should verify the property is not on the CPAL before completing their reservation.
The CPAL is separate from both the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list and the State Department Cuba Restricted List (CRL, §515.209). A property may appear on CPAL because its operator is on the CRL or SDN, but the lists are structurally distinct and U.S. travelers and their compliance teams should check all three.
