The two companies want to create a $5.5 billion high-end leader, with 120 hotels in 24 countries. Why the interest in prestige North American properties? In part, foreign hoteliers hope...

In August, Icahn and a group of investors launched a bid to split up the Time Warner media empire (which includes Time Inc., publisher of this magazine).
