Re: Personal Injuty in a Cuban hotel - can I sue the hotel's foreign owner?

What you can do is determine the residence of the foreign owner, and sue both him and the hotel in that jurisdiction.

You can sue in NY, also, if you are a NY resident.

This question is about 'jurisdiction' and is controlled by the 'long-arm statute' of NY.

You are welcome to a consultation for no fee.
