Overview
- A screenshot circulating online purports to show a Marriott legal directive for a Rosewood acquisition under “Project Pegasus” with an FTC/DOJ filing and a February 28 approval target.
- View from the Wing judged the screenshot likely fake, citing unnatural regulatory phrasing and an arbitrary deadline inconsistent with typical deal processes.
- One Mile at a Time treated the claim as unverified and noted prior reporting of liquidity pressures at Rosewood’s owner, New World Development.
- Rosewood has indicated that individual properties may be sold, while stating the brand itself is not for sale.
- Marriott has not announced any deal, and its asset‑light model suggests any real transaction would focus on brand rights rather than owning hotel real estate.
