MarriottRosewood Tie-Up Rumor Gains Attention as Blogs Doubt Alleged ‘Leak’

Reports in Hong Kong indicate Rosewood’s owner may sell properties, not the brand.

Overview

  • An alleged internal screenshot posted on FlyerTalk mentions a MarriottProject Pegasus” acquisition and calls for filings to the FTC and DOJ by February 28.
  • View from the Wing says the screenshot is likely fake, citing strange legal language, an arbitrary deadline, and overall hoax-like phrasing.
  • One Mile at a Time labels the claim unverified and notes Marriott’s asset-light strategy that typically targets brands and IP rather than owning hotel real estate.
  • South China Morning Post reporting indicates New World Development faces liquidity pressures and could sell certain Rosewood properties but not the Rosewood brand.
  • No official statements or U.S. regulatory filings have appeared, so any MarriottRosewood deal remains unconfirmed and discussion of loyalty or service changes is speculative.
