Also, don't limit yourself to a Chinese lawsuit. You can sue Starwood in the US (though probably not the property). And find out who owns the hotel - they're liable as well.
The properties are independently owned and managed. The incident happened in China and has nothing to do with the US. So what the link to Starwood Corp.??
