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.
