Chicago developer sues Hilton over delayed hotel project

February 25, 2007

A Chicago development group is suing heiress Nicky Hilton for breach of contract over a delayed hotel renovation project just south of the city’s downtown.

In a lawsuit filed in federal court, Robert Falor Investments and Grand USA Hotel Supply & Restau-rant allege Hilton hasn’t kept up her end of an April 2006 agreement in which she promised to promote the project known as Nicky O’s Chicago, a Nicky Hilton Hotel.

Hilton also allegedly contracted out interior design work she was supposed to perform and tried to charge it back to the developer, the suit alleges. Paul Fisher, Hilton’s agent, also is named in the suit. “Things are not always as they appear,” he said.

“When the facts surrounding this matter are known to the public I think you will find out that the person who has been most impacted will be Nicky Hilton.”
