Si hace tiempo que nos conoces, ya sabr\u00e1s que en RIU estamos convencidos de que los edificios sin personas son solo eso: edificios. Es la gente quien los llena de vivencias y recuerdos. Tenemos la fortuna de contar con 98 hoteles impregnados de historias\u00a0de nuestros clientes. Pero tambi\u00e9n sabemos que muchas de esas historias se forjaron incluso antes de nuestra llegada. Este es el caso del hotel Riu Plaza Manhattan Times Square, ubicado en el vibrante centro de Nueva York<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este hotel esconde en sus cimientos una preciosa historia familiar. Hace m\u00e1s de 100 a\u00f1os, en este mismo lugar, se alzaba el Hotel Am\u00e9rica, testigo de las peripecias de un joven llamado Alejandro Cort\u00e9s. El 3 de octubre de 1919, Alejandro lleg\u00f3 por mar a Nueva York desde Cuba en busca de nuevas oportunidades, despu\u00e9s de que la Gran Guerra dejara tiempos muy dif\u00edciles para todos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como muchos inmigrantes de la \u00e9poca, entr\u00f3 por la Isla de Ellis\u00a0con poco m\u00e1s que determinaci\u00f3n y esperanza. Aquellos primeros d\u00edas los pas\u00f3 hospedado en el Hotel Am\u00e9rica, justo donde hoy se encuentra nuestro Riu Plaza Manhattan Times Square<\/a>. Como dato curioso, el hotel de entonces contaba con uno de los restaurantes espa\u00f1oles m\u00e1s conocidos de la ciudad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Gracias a su tes\u00f3n y trabajo, aquel joven logr\u00f3 abrirse camino en Estados Unidos. Durante varios a\u00f1os vivi\u00f3 en Nueva York<\/a>, New Bedford y Boston. Con esfuerzo y dedicaci\u00f3n, pudo volver a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s a Espa\u00f1a con una vasta experiencia, hablando un ingl\u00e9s perfecto y con una fortuna que le permiti\u00f3 convertirse en empresario. La huella de su esfuerzo a\u00fan permanece: construy\u00f3 un edificio de pisos en el centro de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria que forma parte de su legado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez Cort\u00e9s, nieto de Alejandro, en el Riu Plaza Manhattan Times Square con su mujer y su hija. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez Cort\u00e9s, nieto de Alejandro, ha sido quien nos ha contado esta historia 106 a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s. Alejandro, que es comandante de aviaci\u00f3n, se aloj\u00f3 en el hotel Riu Plaza Manhattan Times Square con su familia. Fue un viaje cargado de emoci\u00f3n y memoria. No solo una escapada a la ciudad, sino un homenaje a su abuelo, a sus dif\u00edciles comienzos y al sue\u00f1o americano que, en su caso, se hizo realidad y que hoy sigue presente en la familia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desde RIU nos sentimos felices de ser parte de esta historia familiar tan especial y de saber que nuestros edificios mantienen vivos muchos recuerdos importantes de nuestros clientes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1Gracias por compartirla con nosotros, Alejandro! \u00bfy t\u00fa? \u00bfTienes alguna historia que te una a nosotros? \u00a1Te animamos a escribirnos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
