ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On October 16, 1998, MeriStar Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (the "Company")
reported on a current report on Form 8-K that its acquisition of
certain assets of South Seas Properties Company Limited Partnership
and certain affiliates (the "Acquired Assets") constituted an
acquisition of a "significant amount of assets" as such concept is
defined in Item 2 of Form 8-K and Sections 210.11-01(d), 210.11-01(b)
and 210.3-05(b)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
Subsequently, it was determined that the acquisition by the Company of
the Acquired Assets did not constitute a "significant amount of
assets." Therefore, the Company is filing this amendment to the
current report on Form 8-K, dated October 1, 1998, and will not file
the financial statements and pro forma information as previously
stated.
