Chinese firm buys Universal City landmark hotel

LOS ANGELES—The Sheraton hotel that looms over Universal City's studios and theme park is being purchased by Chinese real estate firm Shenzhen New World Group Co., a company official said Monday.
The Sheraton Universal Hotel's purchase by Shenzhen New World Group Co. is set to close on Wednesday, said Daniel Teng, an executive with the company's U.S. operation.
