Mr Kerry and his delegation stayed at the Lake Garden hotel in Naypyidaw on Saturday night while attending the Asean Regional Summit.
The hotel is owned by U Zaw Zaw, who is blacklisted for having close ties to the country's former military junta.
But hotels are not included in these sanctions, a US official has said.
