flag LuxUrban Hotels filed for bankruptcy after city reimbursements for housing asylum seekers were delayed, despite covering $6.5M in costs and $5M in penalties.

flag LuxUrban Hotels, a New York and Miami-based startup once valued at $300 million, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2025 after failing to receive over $8 million in city reimbursements for housing asylum seekers, despite covering $6.5 million in costs and $5 million in union penalties. flag The company’s tech-driven model, which converted underused hotels into shelters without ownership, collapsed amid frozen accounts and delayed payments from agencies like HANYC and DHS. flag Legal filings reveal claims against multiple entities, including Tuscany Legacy Leasing, Wyndham, and Cloudbeds, over lease disputes and financial misconduct. flag A trustee may be appointed to pursue tens of millions in owed funds, suggesting systemic issues in public-private contracts rather than mismanagement.
