I would say there are more to the story.
Perhaps these elites was walked by the hotel and the hotel did not honored the URG and these elites start making a ruckus?
Or
There were many elites getting walked all in one go and the hotel does not want to honor the URG and pre emptively ask security to escort these elites.
But either way I would guess it started from hotel refuse to honor the URG.
