Nono, that's impossible. It is the name of an hotel, named after some 
ancient lady. I suppose the entry in booking.com was written by a 
representative of the hotel in some database, but the 'ñ' was not 
accepted and was replaced with an 'n'.

It has to be some kind of official entry, as we make payments to them.

Over the decades I have used computers and seen them evolve, I have seen 
many times software designed by USA people that thought that ASCII was 
enough. It is so if that software is never used outside of the USA, but 
this is seldom the case.
