                Form 20-F

                Filed May 1, 2024

                File No. 001-41985

      Ladies and Gentlemen:

      Murano Global Investments Plc (the “Company” or “we”) hereby transmits the Company’s response to the comment letter
        (the “Comment Letter”) received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”),
        dated December 17, 2024, regarding the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 20-F”) filed with the Commission on May 1, 2024. Concurrently with this
        response letter, the Company is publicly filing with the Commission via EDGAR Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 20-F/A (“Amendment No. 1”), which has been revised to reflect the Company’s response
        to the Staff’s comment number 2 set forth in the Comment Letter.

      For ease of review, we have set forth below each of the numbered comments in the Comment Letter in bold italics type, followed by the Company’s responses thereto. Unless otherwise indicated,
        capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in Amendment No. 1.

      ***

        Note 19. Correction of immaterial errors, page F-48

              1.

                We note the correction of errors related to the classification of non-cash transactions and deferred taxes in previously issued
                  financial statements. Please provide us with a detailed materiality analysis supporting your conclusion that the impact of the errors is not material. In addition, tell us how you complied with the disclosure requirements of paragraph 49
                  of IAS 8.

      Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that during the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company
          identified certain errors in its prior year combined financial statements, which are summarized as follows:

            1.

              Under the Company’s accounting policy, cash paid for interest recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss is classified as a financing cash flow while cash paid on capitalized borrowing costs is classified within cash
                flows from investing activities. For the years ended December 2022 and 2021, the Company appropriately reflected the cash paid on capitalized borrowing costs as cash paid for the acquisition of property, construction in process and
                equipment within investing cash flows. However, such amounts were also erroneously reflected during those periods as a non-cash adjustment to net profit to arrive at cash flows from operating activities, and as interest paid within
                financing activities, thereby overstating cash flows from operating activities and understating cash flows from financing activities in 2022 and 2021 (the “Cash Flow Errors”).

            2.

              During 2022 and 2021, Murano failed to account for deferred taxes related to derivatives that were designated as economic hedges of variable interest debt. The omission of deferred taxes led to misstatements of the combined statements of
                profit and loss and other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the statements of financial position as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and January 1, 2021 (the “Deferred Tax Errors”).

      The impact of the misstatements on the combined financial statements are summarized as follows:

              732,867,795

              102,952,238

              835,820,033

      Management’s assessment of materiality included a detailed analysis of both quantitative and qualitative factors and is summarized below.

      Quantitative analysis

      In assessing the quantitative magnitude of the errors, management notes that although pre-tax income is typically the starting point for a quantitative measure of materiality, it is not deemed to be the metric that
        is most relevant to the users of the Company’s financial statements. This is because, until the end of 2022, all projects were in the construction phase and the transactions that had a significant impact on the results of 2022 and 2021 were not
        directly attributable to the revenue-generating operations of the Company.

      Accordingly, the Company determined 1% of total assets as the measurement basis to determine the Company’s materiality because it reflects the investments made by the Company to establish the hotels and other real
        estate investments that will form the basis of the Company’s main activities.

      Internal materiality in Mexican pesos for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, was $194,309,429, $188,029,005 and $107,421,098, respectively. Based on these measures, the impacts of the Cash Flow Errors
        exceed the quantitative thresholds while the impacts of the Deferred Tax Errors on the statements of financial position and profit and loss and other comprehensive income are below the quantitative thresholds.

      Qualitative analysis

      Management’s analysis of qualitative factors is summarized as follows:

            1)

              Whether the misstatement arises from an item capable of being measured with precision or whether it arises from an estimate and, if so, the degree of imprecision inherent in the estimate.

      Analysis: Capitalized borrowing costs were calculated with precision, based on interest
          rates and balances of qualifying assets.

      The misstatements to the deferred tax liability and related expense can similarly be calculated with precision identifying the temporary difference and applying appropriate income tax rates.

            2)

              Whether the misstatement masks a change in earnings or other trends.

      Analysis: No. Due to the Company’s focus on construction and development activities in 2022
          and 2021, the Company realized substantial net cash outflows from operating activities and inflows from proceeds from financing arrangements. The misstatements therefore did not have the effect of masking those trends as the previously reported
          and restated balances reflected the same nature of the cash flows.

      The Company also does not believe the adjustments mask any material changes or trends to net profit during 2022 or 2021. This is because during 2022 and 2021, the Company had not yet generated
        sufficient revenues to achieve an established operational track record.

      Nonetheless, the Company reported other key business and financial metrics, in filings on Form F-4/A filed on February 15, 2024, and in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F filed on May 1, 2024
        for which the misstated accounts are only used in the determination of non-IFRS performance measures including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. None of the adjustments required to correct the misstatements affect the calculations of these non-IFRS
        measures.

            3)

              Whether the misstatement hides a failure to meet the consensus expectations of analysts for the company.

      Analysis: No. There were no consensus expectations of analysts regarding measures affected
          by the misstatements.

            4)

              Whether the misstatement turns a loss into income or vice versa.

      Analysis: No. The corrections to the misstatements did not change the previously reported
          net operating cash flows or financing cash flows from positive to negative or vice versa.

      Similarly, the misstatements do not turn the net profit into net losses or vice versa for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

            5)

              Whether the misstatement relates to a segment or other portion of the registrant's business that has been identified as playing a significant role in the registrant's operations or profitability.

      Analysis: No, given that the misstatements relate to the Company’s one and only reportable
          segment, which generated little or no revenues during 2022 or 2021.

            6)

              Whether the misstatement affects the registrant's compliance with regulatory requirements.

      Analysis: No. The Company’s compliance with regulatory requirements was not affected by the
          misstatements.

            7)

              Whether the mistake affects the registrant's compliance with loan covenants or other contractual requirements.

      Analysis: No. The Company’s compliance or failure to comply with loan covenants or other
          contractual requirements was not affected by the misstatements.

            8)

              Whether the misstatement has the effect of increasing management compensation, for example, by satisfying requirements for the granting of bonuses or other forms of incentive compensation.

      Analysis: No. Management’s compensation was not affected by the misstatements.

            9)

              Whether the misstatement involves the concealment of an unlawful transaction.

      Analysis: No. The misstatements do not conceal illegal or unauthorized transactions.

      To further analyze the materiality of the errors, the Company has analyzed the misstatements in light of guidance surrounding the definition of materiality and the impact on the decision-making of the primary users
        of the combined financial statements set forth in paragraph 7 of IAS 1 as follows:

            1)

              Would the correction of the error significantly affect Murano's outlook?

      Analysis: Although the Company’s cash flows are also discussed and analyzed in the
          Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of the Company’s regulatory filings, such disclosures do not specifically mention the period-to-period changes of cash paid for interest or borrowing
          costs.

      The Company also considered the impacts of the misstatements on management’s accounting and disclosures related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Both the 2022 financial
        statements filed in the Company’s registration statement on Form F-4/A on February 15, 2024, and the 2023 financial statements filed in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F on May 1, 2024, disclose material uncertainties giving rise to
        substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, the audit reports on the aforementioned financial statements include explanatory paragraphs related to the going concern uncertainties. Based on management’s
        analysis, neither the individual or cumulative effects of the misstatements impact the conclusions or disclosures reached in relation to the going concern uncertainties reported in the financial statements of 2023 or 2022.

      Based on the above, management concludes that the correction of the misstatements is unlikely to significantly affect Murano's outlook. While the correction resulted in adjustments to deferred tax
        balances and the related expense/benefit, it is unlikely to have a material impact on Murano's overall financial position or performance.

    Filed January 30, 2024

    File No. 333-273849

    Ladies and Gentlemen:

    This letter responds to the comment letter (the “Comment Letter”) of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”),

      dated February 13, 2024, to Mr. Elías Sacal Cababié, Chief Executive Officer of Murano Global Investments Limited (the “Company”) regarding the Registration Statement and Proxy Statement on Form F-4 filed with the Commission on August 9, 2023
      (the “Initial Registration Statement”). Simultaneously with the submission of this letter, the Company is filing Amendment No. 6 to the Initial Registration Statement on Form F-4 (the “Amended Registration Statement”), which
      reflects changes made in response to the comments contained in the Comment Letter and certain other changes.

    This letter sets forth each comment of the Staff in the Comment Letter and, following the comment, sets forth the Company’s response.

    Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form F-4 filed January 30, 2024

    Impact of the Business Combination on PubCo’s Public Float, page 37

              1.

              We note your response to comment 2. Please explain in your supplemental response letter the basis for your position that redemptions will have no impact on Nasdaq listing qualifications and that there will be
                sufficient float held by non-affiliates regardless of the level of redemptions, as it is unclear who or how many non-affiliate shareholders you have other than the public shareholders who may redeem in connection with the transaction. Also
                address the impact redemptions may have upon the ability of the company to be approved for listing on Nasdaq in the disclosure in this section.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 16 and 38 of the Amended Registration Statement. The Company notes that upon the Closing of the Business
      Combination, we anticipate that our public float will consist of shares delivered in consideration of Trust Shares and of 1,250,000 Vendor Participation Shares, initially valued at approximately $12,500,000 (assuming, for these purposes, a value of
      $10 per share), which we believe will result in sufficient public float to comply with NASDAQ’s initial listing standards for the Global Market set forth in Rules 5405(a) and 5405(b), including the Income Standard test, regardless of the number of
      Public Shares redeemed by HCM’s existing public shareholders.

                funds meeting conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act. Please revise to clarify that even though your trust account proceeds are invested in these securities, the risk nevertheless exists that you may be considered to be
                operating as an unregistered investment company.

            Please provide a response to comment 14 of our letter dated September 5, 2023 regarding the impact of shareholder redemptions on your NASDAQ listing.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectfully confirms that the redemptions will have no impact on NASDAQ listing qualifications, as the Company believes that it will have sufficient float
      held by non-affiliates regardless of the level of redemptions.

          3.

            We note HCM’s previous response dated November 16, 2022 to our comment letter dated November 15, 2022 regarding HCM’s sponsor, officers and directors. With a view toward disclosure, please tell us whether anyone
              or any entity associated with or otherwise involved in the transaction, is, is controlled by, or has substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. If so, also include risk factor disclosure that addresses how this fact could impact your ability to
              complete your initial business combination. For instance, discuss the risk to investors that you may not be able to complete an initial business combination should the transaction be subject to review by a U.S. government entity, such as the
              Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited. Further, disclose that the time necessary for government review of the transaction or a decision to prohibit the transaction could prevent you from
              completing an initial business combination and require you to liquidate. Disclose the consequences of liquidation to investors, such as the losses of the investment opportunity in a target company, any price appreciation in the combined
              company, and the warrants, which would expire worthless.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 4, 13, 23 of the Amended Registration Statement.

    The Company and its management acknowledge they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the Staff.

investors that you may not be able to complete an initial business combination should the
transaction be subject to review by a U.S. government entity, such as the Committee on
Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited. Further,
disclose that the time necessary for government review of the transaction or a decision to
prohibit the transaction could prevent you from completing an initial business
combination and require you to liquidate. Disclose the consequences of liquidation to
investors, such as the losses of the investment opportunity in a target company, any price
appreciation in the combined company, and the warrants, which would expire worthless.

              Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form F-4

              Filed November 8, 2023

              File No. 333-273849

    Ladies and Gentlemen:

    This letter responds to the comment letter (the “Comment Letter”) of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”),

      dated November 27, 2023, to Mr. Elías Sacal Cababié, Chief Executive Officer of Murano Global Investments Limited (the “Company”) regarding the Registration Statement and Proxy Statement on Form F-4 filed on Filed November 8, 2023 (the “Initial Registration

        Statement”). Simultaneously with the submission of this letter, the Company is filing Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement on Form F-4 (the “Amended Registration Statement”), which reflects changes made in response to certain of
      the comments contained in the Comment Letter and certain other changes.

    This letter sets forth each comment of the Staff in the Comment Letter and, following the comment, sets forth the Company’s response.

    Questions and Answers About the Business Combination and the Extraordinary Meeting, page 11

              1.

              We reissue prior comment 6. Please disclose on page 16 when discussing the equity stake current HCM Holders and Murano Shareholders will have in
                PubCo after the Closing and elsewhere in the prospectus where similar disclosure is provided the sponsor and its affiliates’ total potential ownership interest in the combined company, assuming exercise and conversion of all securities,
                including the private placement warrants. Please also add footnote 2 from the table on page 37 to the table on pages 16-17.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 15-16, 36-37, 82, and 96-97 of the Amended Registration Statement.
      The Company notes for the Staff’s consideration that the Sponsor has agreed to forfeit the 10,500,000 Private Placement Warrants excluded from the tables on pages 15-16 and 36-37 in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination pursuant to
      the Sponsor Support Agreement and the only remaining Private Placement Warrants or other dilutive securities are the 2,500,000 Private Placement Warrants held by Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., which is not an affiliate of the Sponsor.  As such, the
      Company believes that the disclosure of the sponsor and its affiliates’ total potential ownership interest in the combined company assuming exercise and conversion of all securities, is fulsomely disclosed.

              2.

              We reissue prior comment 4. Revise your disclosure to show the potential impact of redemptions on the per share value of the shares owned by the
                non-redeeming shareholders by including a sensitivity analysis showing a range of redemption scenarios, including minimum, maximum and interim redemption levels.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 16-17 of the Amended Registration Statement.

              3.

              We partially reissue comment 8. We continue to note the disclosures regarding the possibility that the transaction may qualify as a
                  “reorganization” under Section 368 and would therefore not be a taxable event. See the disclosure on pages 22, 90 and 132. Please provide an opinion of counsel regarding Section 368 or revise the disclosure throughout the prospectus to
                  make it clear the transaction will not qualify as a reorganization. In addition, we note that the opinion of counsel states that the transaction “should” qualify as a transaction under Section 351(a). Please revise to clearly explain why
                  you cannot give a “will” opinion and to describe the degree of uncertainty. Please also provide risk factor disclosure of the risks of the uncertain tax treatment to investors. Lastly, it is inappropriate to exclude PFIC status from the
                  scope of the opinion. Please revise. For guidance see Section III.C.4 of Staff Legal Bulletin and footnote 44.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 21-22, 90, 92, and 133-134 of the Amended Registration Statement.

                and the level of diligence the financial advisor performed in connection with the transaction.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 143, 145, 149, and 152-153 of the Amended Registration Statement to
      clarify that CCM did assist HCM in its due diligence process, and the scope of such diligence.

    Ladies and Gentlemen:

    This letter responds to the comment letter (the “Comment Letter”) of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”),

      dated October 26, 2023, to Mr. Elías Sacal Cababié, Chief Executive Officer of Murano Global Investments Limited (the “Company”) regarding the Registration Statement and Proxy Statement on Form F-4 filed on October 10, 2023 (the “Registration

              We note your response to prior comment 8; however, we do not see disclosure in the table regarding dilution to the HCM public
                  shareholders. Please add disclosure showing how the shares owned by HCM public shareholders may be diluted.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 16-17 of the Amended Registration Statement.

              We reissue prior comment 12. Revise your disclosure to show the potential impact of redemptions on the per share value of the shares owned by the non-redeeming
                shareholders by including a sensitivity analysis showing a range of redemption scenarios, including minimum, maximum and interim redemption levels.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 16-17 and 36-37 of the Amended Registration Statement.

              5.

              Please revise the table on page 1 reflecting the effective fees payable to the underwriter on a percentage basis based on the level of redemptions to reflect 75% and 90%
                redemptions. Similarly revise the disclosure regarding the impact of redemptions on underwriting fees as a percentage of the HCM stock price to reflect 75% and 90% redemptions.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 15, 83, and 159 of the Amended Registration Statement.

              6.

              We reissue prior comment 5. Please disclose on page 15 when discussing the equity stake current HCM Holders and Murano Shareholders will have in PubCo after the Closing

    Material US Federal Income Tax Considerations, page 129

              8.

              We partially reissue prior comment 18. We note your response that you clearly disclose this will be a taxable event. However, we note that you continue to state that you
                intend for the transactions to qualify as a transaction described in Section 351(a) and thus not a taxable transaction. We also note continued disclosure that you intend for the transaction to qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368
                but that this is highly uncertain. Lastly, you do not reach the conclusion that this will be a taxable event for shareholders. Instead, you state that “it may be prudent for a US holder that does not have in effect a valid QEF election ...
                to assume that the Business Combination is treated as a taxable transaction.” Please revise to clearly disclose the material tax consequences of the transaction and to the extent you continue to disclose that the transaction may be tax
                free, attribute the tax opinion to named counsel and file the tax opinion as an exhibit. Please also remove any statement that assumes the material tax consequences at issue (e.g., “The remainder of this discussion is based upon the
                position that the Merger qualifies as a transaction described in Section 351(a) of the Code”). Refer to Section III of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19 for guidance.

        The Company has revised the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Please see pages 22, 90, and 132-133 of the Amended Registration Statement. In
          addition, the Company has filed an opinion of Clifford Chance US LLP as Exhibit 8.1 to the Amended Registration Statement.

    Proposal No. 1: The Business Combination Proposal Background of the Business Combination, page 140

              9.

              We reissue prior comment 23. Please revise your disclosure throughout this section to provide greater detail as to how the material terms of the transaction structure
                and consideration evolved during the negotiations.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comments and the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 144-145 and 147-148 of the Amended Registration Statement to provide
      detail regarding the negotiations concerning the forfeiture of 1,250,000 Founder Shares and all of HCM’s Private Placement Warrants and the disclosures on page 145 of the Amended Registration Statement to make clear that HCM consulted with its tax
      advisor to ensure that the change to structure requested by the Company would not negatively impact HCM’s shareholders.  Otherwise, the Company respectfully submits that the description accurately reflects the material discussions regarding the
      material terms of the transaction structure and consideration during the course of negotiations.  As noted in the section entitled “Background of the Business Combination,” the parties discussed an initial
      equity value of $650 million for Murano, with the exclusive consideration in the transaction being newly issued shares of PubCo.  Such structure and valuation was expressly subject to due diligence, which occurred over the course of the next several
      months, as detailed in the “Background of the Business Combination”.  The ongoing due diligence process was used to confirm the equity value for the Company (as described in the “Background of the Business Combination”, as is the duration of such due diligence process related to obtaining appropriate financial statements), which was eventually determined to be $690.9 million (as reflected on page 210 of the
      Amended Registration Statement).  Furthermore, the “Background of the Business Combination” makes clear that the Business Combination Agreement was drafted to provide HCM ongoing access to due diligence to
      continue to monitor the agreed upon equity value for the Company.  Also as detailed in the “Background of the Business Combination,” the Company and its owners sought certain flexibility to implement certain
      internal restructuring transactions for reasons of tax optimization.  As noted in the “Background of the Business Combination,” HCM negotiated a right to approve all such steps the Company might propose to
      take in connection with such internal restructuring.

    HCM’s Board of Directors’ Recommendation of and Reasons for the Business Combination, page 146

              10.

              We reissue prior comment 26. Please discuss what consideration, if any, the board gave in the August 1, 2023 reaffirmation of the recommendation of approval of the business
                combination to the significant redemptions that occurred in the April 2023 extension.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 147-148 of the Amended Registration Statement.  The Company also
      notes that it had previously included similar disclosure in the section entitled “The HCM Board of Directors’ Recommendation of and reasons for the Business Combination”.

    Summary of HCM Financial Analysis Materials of HCM’s Financial Advisor, page 149

              11.

              We note your response to prior comment 27. Please clarify whether and how the board considered the unaudited prospective financial information of Murano in considering the
                transaction or the fairness determination. To the extent the board did not consider such information in considering the transaction or the fairness determination, please clarify how the financial information was used, whether this financial
                information was specifically requested and how this information relates to the consideration. Similarly, discuss how such financial information was used by HCM’s Financial Advisor. We note the removal of the disclosure that CCM reviewed the
                financial projections.

    The Company respectfully submits that certain unaudited prospective financial information was requested as part of HCM’s ordinary course diligence process and was reviewed by HCM
      and its advisors in concert with its due diligence regarding new hotels in the relevant geographic markets but was not otherwise given considerable weight by HCM management or its board in its consideration of the transaction, each of which focused
      more on the value of the Company’s assets and their potential value following completion of construction by reference to multiples of value attributed to hotel room key-counts in comparable markets.

        November 8, 2023

              12.

              We note your response to prior comment 30 that the CCM Materials were an investor presentation drafted on a collaborative basis amongst the Murano, HCM and each of their
                respective professional advisors. Please reconcile with the disclosure in this section which indicates the CCM Materials were presented to HCM’s board and that such information was obtained from Murano and approved for use by HCMs board or
                from third party sources. To the extent this was information presented to HCM’s board, please provide your analysis as to whether the CCM Materials is a “report…materially relating to the transaction ... from an outside party.” If so,
                please provide the information required by Item 1015(b) of Regulation M-A and file such report as an exhibit. Refer to Item 4(b) of Form F-4.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment. Respectfully, the Company does not believe that CCM provided a report, opinion or appraisal within the meaning of Item 1015(b) of
      Regulation M-A, but rather that CCM provided customary assistance to HCM’s management in conducting its own financial analysis, which is summarized beginning on page 152 of the Amended Registration Statement.  The Company specifically notes that CCM
      was not retained to render a fairness opinion, and did not render a fairness opinion, in connection with the transaction.  The Company has included descriptions of the presentations made to the HCM board by CCM during the deliberations as part of the
      HCM board’s record of compliance with its fiduciary duties and not because the HCM board believes that it has received reports, opinions or appraisals relating to these subjects within the meaning of Item 1015 of the Regulation M-A or Item 9 of Form
      F-4.  Indeed, under CCM’s engagement letter, HCM is expressly responsible for information provided to CCM, which includes the contents of the CCM Materials.

              13.

              We reissue prior comment 31. We note that CCM was retained as a financial advisor to HCM. Please clearly describe the role of CCM in the de-SPAC transaction, and the level
                of diligence the financial advisor performed in connection with the transaction.

    The Company respectfully submits that the description provided in the section entitled “Background of the Business Combination – Summary of HCM
        Financial Analysis – Materials of HCM’s Financial Advisor” accurately reflects CCM’s role in the business combination transaction, which was to assist with financial due diligence and provide related financial advice.

3.We note your response to prior comment 8; however, we do not see disclosure in the table
regarding dilution to the HCM public shareholders. Please add disclosure showing how
the shares owned by HCM public shareholders may be diluted.
4.We reissue prior comment 12.  Revise your disclosure to show the potential impact of

including minimum, maximum and interim redemption levels.

8.We partially reissue prior comment 18.  We note your response that you clearly disclose
this will be a taxable event.  However, we note that you continue to state that you intend
for the transactions to qualify as a transaction described in Section 351(a) and thus not a
taxable transaction.  We also note continued disclosure that you intend for the transaction
to qualify as a "reorganization" under Section 368 but that this is highly uncertain.  Lastly,
you do not reach the conclusion that this will be a taxable event for shareholders.  Instead,
you state that "it may be prudent for a US holder that does not have in effect a valid QEF
election ... to assume that the Business Combination is treated as a taxable
transaction."  Please revise to clearly disclose the material tax consequences of the
transaction and to the extent you continue to disclose that the transaction may be tax free,
attribute the tax opinion to named counsel and file the tax opinion as an exhibit.  Please
also remove any statement that assumes the material tax consequences at issue (e.g., "The
remainder of this discussion is based upon the position that the Merger qualifies as a
transaction described in Section 351(a) of the Code"). Refer to Section III of Staff Legal
Bulletin No. 19 for guidance.

                range of redemption scenarios, including minimum, maximum and interim redemption levels.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 15-16 and 155 of the Amended Registration Statement.

              13.

              It appears that underwriting fees remain constant and are not adjusted based on redemptions. Revise your disclosure to disclose the effective underwriting fee on a percentage basis for
                shares at each redemption level presented in your sensitivity analysis related to dilution.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 15, 81, and 155 of the Amended Registration Statement.

    Impact of the Business Combination on PubCo’s Public Float, page 32

              14.

              We note that Murano, the private operating company, only has one shareholder, who will be receiving shares in this transaction pursuant to a private placement. We also note that the Founder
                Shares are subject to a lock-up agreement. Please provide clear disclosure in this section and elsewhere as appropriate of the impact redemptions may have upon the ability of the company to be approved for listing on Nasdaq.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment.  The Company is considering proposals to address NASDAQ listing requirements upon the closing of the Business Combination and will undertake
      to revise the Amended Registration Statement once a course of action is decided upon.

    Organizational Structure, page 33

              15.

              Please revise the Murano and PubCo diagram to increase the size to make it readable to the investors.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and the Company has revised the disclosure on page 36 of the Amended Registration Statement.

    Risk Factors, page 46

              16.

              Please add risk factor disclosure regarding the controlled company status under Nasdaq rules.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 26 and 72 of the Amended Registration Statement.

    Certain Material US Federal Income Tax Consideration, page 118

              17.

              Please remove the word “certain” from the statement at the beginning of this section that “this section describes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences ....” For guidance
                see Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19.III.C.1.

         October 10, 2023

        Page Five

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 129-139 of the Amended Registration Statement.

              18.

              Please revise your disclosure in this section, and elsewhere, to remove language stating that this discussion is intended to be general in nature or you intend for certain tax treatment of
                the transaction. Please revise to clearly disclose the material tax consequences of the transaction and attribute the tax opinion to named counsel and file the tax opinion as an exhibit. Please also remove any statement that assumes the
                material tax consequences at issue (e.g., “The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Merger qualifies as a transaction described in Section 351(a) of the Code”). Refer to Section III of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19 for guidance.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 129-139 of the Amended Registration Statement.

    The parties to the transaction, upon consultation with their tax advisors and based upon the revised disclosure, respectfully submit that an opinion of U.S. tax counsel is not required. First, the
      disclosure states that the Business Combination is subject to significant uncertainty and is therefore not capable of being the subject of a representation regarding its tax-free treatment. Under Section III.A.2 of Staff Legal Bulletin 19, a
      representation as to tax-free treatment is an important criterion in determining whether an opinion is in fact required. (“Examples of transactions generally involving material tax consequences include … mergers or exchange transactions where the
      registrant represents that the transaction is tax free”). Additionally, we have revised the disclosure to clarify that, subject to certain factual conditions, it may be prudent for U.S. holders to assume that the Business Combination is treated as a
      taxable transaction with respect to any gain realized. In this vein, Section III.A.2 of Staff Legal Bulletin 19 also provides that “when a registrant represents than an exchange offer or merger is a taxable transaction, no opinion of counsel or
      accountant is required.”

    Proposal 1: The Business Combination Proposal

      Background of the Business Combination, page 129

              19.

              Please revise to more specifically describe how HCM determined to evaluate the 36 potential business combinations, and how that group was narrowed down to nondisclosure agreements with 23
                of those potential targets, and then determined to negotiate letters of intent with the five potential targets. Please also describe the process by which Murano was determined to be the final candidate.

    The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 141 and 147 of the Amended Registration Statement.

              20.

              Please clarify whether Murano was the client of Nader, Hayaux y Goebel S.C. and whether the Nader firm introduced Murano to HCM. Please clarify whether the Nader firm brought any other
                client candidates to HCM.
