The federal hotels denver suit, filed May 28 in New Jersey against Starwood Hotels and Resorts, which owns the W, claims Burgese was walking through the lobby when she became the victim of a completely unprovoked, sudden and brutal attack by an unknown number of defendants, believed to be a group of as many as 10 prostitutes.
We truly regret that this incident occurred and that one of our guests was injured, Starwood said in a statement Tuesday. The safety and security of our guests is our paramount priority, and we are taking this situation very seriously. Some of the information being reported, especially the claims that there were multiple persons attacking our guest, is incorrect. Due to pending litigation, we are unable to comment further at this time.
She was taken by ambulance to Mount Sinai Medical Center for treatment for her injuries, the suit claims. According to a Miami Beach Police report of the incident, Burgese suffered swelling and bruising to her knee and elbow as well as a bloody lip.
The hotel fosters a prostitute-friendly environment where prostitutes are permitted to market themselves on the premises, as evidenced by, among other things, the review left on various travel websites by former guests, the lawsuit said.
According to the lawsuit, prostitutes have become violent with guests at the W in the past. It's believed the attack was committed by the prostitutes who may have been under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and confused Plaintiff Anna Burgese as competition, the lawsuit said.
