Marriott Gets Court Order Preventing Takeover of Eden Roc Renaissance Hotel

A New York State Supreme Court judge signed a temporary restraining order late Monday, protecting Marriott International MAR and its affiliate Renaissance Hotel Management Company, LLC, the manager of the Eden Roc Renaissance Miami Beach hotel, from takeover attempts and other interference by the hotel owner until a hearing in mid-November. In the pre-dawn hours on Sunday, October 14, the hotel owner failed at an attempted surprise takeover of the hotel by force, in disregard of the law and its obligations under the hotel management agreement.  The attempt ended when the Miami Beach police ordered the owner's effort to cease.
