 Strategic Hotel Capital Files Lawsuit
Against Marriott International Inc.
August 23, 2002 - On August 20, 2002 Strategic Hotel Capital sued Marriott International Inc. in Los Angeles Superior Court. SHC filed the complaint on behalf of three hotels it owns in Southern California which are managed under contract by Marriott; Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, Marriot's Rancho Las Palmas and Renaissance Beverly Hills. 

Below is the entire 73 page complaint alleging violations in the management contracts.

The Complaint was provided to Hotel Online by Jim Butler who chairs the Global Hospitality Group for Jeffer, Mangels, Butler & Marmaro LLP. JMBM has a significant focus on management contracts and issues such as those reflected in the complaint below. 

After the Woolley and Pacific Landmark cases, Butler predicted the legal principles of this line of cases would "forever change the landscape of hotel management agreements and the relationships between owners and operators." Many believe that Woodley Road and
other recent management disputes prove this out. If you would like to discuss these developments or have questions or points of view to share, you can contact Jim Butler at [email protected].
