"Our relationship with Marriott International may result in conflicts of interest," Host Marriott reports in Securities and Exchange Commission filing dated April 1. "Marriott International, a public hotel management company, and its affiliates, manages or franchises 110 of our 122 hotels. In addition, Marriott International manages and in some cases may own or be invested in hotels that compete with our hotels.

As a result, Marriott International may make decisions regarding competing lodging facilities that it manages that would not necessarily be in our best interests." In addition, Host will relocate from the headquarters it shares with Marriott at 10400 Fernwood Rd. to spaces across the street. At press time, neither company had put out a news release on the matter. GlobeSt.com calls to both organizations were not immediately returned.
