Hilton Said in Talks for Four Hotels to Defer Waldorf Tax

Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. is in talks to buy four properties from Blackstone Group LP and other owners to defer tax payments from its $1.95 billion sale of New York’s Waldorf Astoria hotel, according to two people with knowledge of the talks.

The assets include San Francisco’s Parc 55 Wyndham, the city’s fourth-biggest hotel, at more than 1,000 rooms, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the negotiations are private. The other properties are two Waldorf Astoria resorts in Key West and one in Orlando, Florida, they said.
