WHAT’S THE ISSUE?

Hagens Berman filed a lawsuit on behalf of consumers nationwide harmed by an alleged information exchange scheme by some of the largest hospitality companies, including Hyatt and Hilton Hotels. We believe major luxury hotels colluded to artificially increase the price of hotel rooms, increasing rates above competitive levels. In this situation, consumers lose, and rates are adjusted beyond what a free market would bear.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I’M AFFECTED?

The hotel companies being investigated maintain hotels across the nation, and have inflated prices in major cities including Austin, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, New York, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, Washington D.C. and Seattle. If you booked a hotel in one of these cities, maintained by one of the following companies, or another large hotel, fill out the form to find out your rights »

YOUR CONSUMER RIGHTS

Your consumer rights include a fair price for your accommodations, and you may have rights to compensation under antitrust laws for your losses due to this alleged scheme.

PRICE SCHEME EXPLAINED

Our legal team believes that beginning in 2019, these hospitality giants began to work together to increase hotel room prices for consumers in major cities including Boston, Chicago, Kansas City, Portland, San Francisco and Seattle. 

HOW CAN A CLASS ACTION HELP?

Through a class-action lawsuit, individual consumers can collectively bring claims against large corporations who would otherwise have the upper hand. A class-action lawsuit seeks to level the playing field, bringing strength to collective action to change corrupt practices. Though these measures do not bring immediate relief, they are a time-tested method of holding companies accountable for wrongdoing.
