Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On May 23, 2011, Royalton LLC, a subsidiary of Morgans Hotel Group Co. (the “Company”), completed the sale of the Royalton hotel for $88.2 million to Royalton 44 Hotel, L.L.C., an affiliate of FelCor Lodging Trust, Incorporated, and Morgans Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, completed the sale of the Morgans hotel for $51.8 million to Madison 237 Hotel, L.L.C., also an affiliate of FelCor Lodging Trust, Incorporated. The parties have agreed that the Company will continue to operate the hotels under a 15-year management agreement with one 10-year extension option.

The Company received net proceeds of approximately $93 million after applying a portion of the proceeds from the sales to retire all amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility. The hotels, along with the Delano hotel, were collateral for its revolving credit facility, which terminated upon the sale of the properties securing the facility. Following termination of the facility, the Delano hotel is now unencumbered.

Copies of the purchase and sale agreements will be filed as exhibits to the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The above description is a summary of the agreements and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the agreements.

In connection with the disposition, the Company is hereby filing, as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as if the disposition had occurred as of the assumed dates set forth in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements.
