Case number05/09/2023
Class period Start08/20/2024
Class period EndLuxUrban Hotels reached a $3M settlement to resolve investor claims that LuxUrban misled the market about the size of its leased-hotel portfolio, including the Royalton Hotel, and related financial disclosures.
Outline:
On November 8, 2023, LuxUrban told investors it had 2,032 hotel rooms under lease, including the Royalton Hotel in New York. On January 17, 2024, a short-seller report said LuxUrban had not actually signed the Royalton lease and had undisclosed rent lawsuits, sending $LUXH lower. On February 2, 2024, the company withdrew its earlier Royalton statements, and the stock fell again on February 5, 2024. On March 26, 2026, the parties filed a proposed $3 million settlement.
Timeline:
- November 8, 2023: LuxUrban reported that it had 2,032 hotel rooms under lease, including properties not yet available for rent.
- November 30, 2023: LuxUrban announced that it had signed a 25-year master lease agreement for the Royalton Hotel.
- January 12, 2024: LuxUrban said the Royalton by LuxUrban was expected to begin welcoming guests on or before January 30, 2024.
- January 17, 2024: A short-seller report said LuxUrban had not actually signed the Royalton lease and had multiple undisclosed rent-related lawsuits.
- February 2, 2024: LuxUrban announced the termination of discussions to add the Royalton Hotel and withdrew its prior Royalton statements.
- February 5, 2024: $LUXH fell 22% after the Royalton withdrawal announcement.
- March 26, 2026: The parties filed the proposed settlement stipulation.
Background:
LuxUrban used an asset-light model built around leasing hotels on a long-term basis and renting out the rooms through its own platform and third-party travel channels. As the company expanded, it promoted rapid portfolio growth and highlighted a rising number of hotel rooms under lease.
A key part of that story was the Royalton Hotel in New York. In late 2023 and early 2024, LuxUrban repeatedly included the Royalton in public statements about its portfolio and said the property was expected to begin welcoming guests.
The dispute centers on whether those statements were accurate. Investors claimed LuxUrban had not actually signed the Royalton lease, which meant the company’s reported room count and portfolio growth were overstated. The case also pointed to multiple lawsuits alleging unpaid rent and said those issues were not fully disclosed to the market.
The case later expanded beyond the Royalton issue and also challenged statements about LuxUrban’s first-quarter 2024 financial results. By March 2026, the parties had reached a proposed $3 million settlement to resolve the case.
