Host Hotels & Resorts says that Starwood Hotels & Resorts will retain ownership of two hotels located in Fiji, the Sheraton Fiji Resort and The Westin Royal Denarau Island Resort and Spa, that were included in the original portfolio of 35 hotels to be acquired by Host.

The purchase of the hotels had been deferred from the initial closing pending the receipt of certain consents. Both parties mutually agreed that Starwood would discontinue the pursuit of those consents and will retain ownership of the hotels.

Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. is a lodging real estate company that currently owns or holds controlling interests in 129 luxury and upper upscale hotel properties primarily operated under premium brands such as Marriott, Westin, Sheraton, Ritz-Carlton, Hyatt, W, Four Seasons, St. Regis, The Luxury Collection, Fairmont, Hilton and Swissotel.
