Wardman Hotel Owner LLC

The firm was debtor counsel in the chapter 11 case of Wardman Hotel Owner, the debtor for the Wardman Park Hotel, a historic and century-old luxury hotel in Washington, D.C. The debtor filed for bankruptcy protection in January 2021, citing losses resulting from COVID-19-related shutdowns and a legal dispute with Marriott International, which operates the hotel. In September 2021, the court approved the debtor’s chapter 11 liquidation plan, which will distribute the proceeds of the hotel’s $152,250,000 asset sale and settle the more than $87,000,000 in claims by Marriott. The plan received overwhelming support, with every voting creditor accepting the plan. The firm is counsel to the postconfirmation trust.
