The San Antonio District Office of the EEOC brought this suit against Doubletree Hotels Corporation, Doubletree Hotel Systems, Inc, Felcor Lodging Trust, Inc., FCH/DT Holding, LP (d/b/a Doubletree Hotels and Doubletree Guest Suites Austin), Hilton Hotels Corporation, and DT Management, Inc. (d/b/a Doubletree Hotel and Doubletree Guest Suites Austin) in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas in September 2003. The complainant brought suit against the defendants in August 2003 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The EEOC's complaint alleged sexual harassment in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The private plaintiff's complaint alleged sexual harassment and retaliation in violation of Title VII, and violations of 42 U.S.C. ß1985(3), RICO, FLSA, Texas Labor Code, and Texas tort law. The cases were consolidated in March, 2004. Prior to consolidation, very little litigation activity occurred in the EEOC's case. In the private plaintiff's case, the individual defendant filed several partial motions to dismiss, some of which were granted and some denied. Shortly after consolidation, both cases were settled by settlement agreement in May 2004.

The 2-year settlement agreement, containing an anti-discrimination clause, required the defendant to: post notice of anti-discrimination policy, provide both management and supervisor training and training for all employees, retain records of complaints of sexual harassment, report to the EEOC regarding training, and pay the complainant $285,000.
