Starwood Hotels & Resorts alleges in a lawsuit that two former executives who joined rival Hilton Hotels used proprietary information to expedite Hilton’s recent launch of a luxury lifestyle brand.
In the lawsuit, Starwood accuses Ross Klein and Amar Lalvani, the former president and svp of Starwood Luxury Brands Group who joined Hilton in June 2008, of stealing more than 100,000 electronic files from Starwood, including confidential information about the company’s W hotel brand. The information, Starwood alleges, aided Hilton’s development of its Denizen luxury lifestyle brand, which it launched last month.
