America's historic rapprochement with Cuba was given a celebrity seal of approval at the weekend when the heiress Paris Hilton visited the hotel her great-grandfather opened in Havana the year before the communist revolution.
The reality television star even met Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart, the son of Fidel Castro, the revolutionary who commandeered and later nationalised her family's hotel.
Hilton's trip to Havana's annual cigar festival, where she was joined by the model Naomi Campbell, came two months after the US began easing curbs on Americans travelling to Cuba.
