BOURNEMOUTH council says news of the legal action is "disappointing".
Bill Cotton, executive director for environment and economy, said the borough's hotel scheme is intended to attract tourists to Bournemouth.
“It’s disappointing that two of the town’s major hotel operators do not support this investment which aims to attract new visitors to Bournemouth," said Mr Cotton.
“We have referred the matter to our external legal advisers and await their advice.
"It would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.”
The council has said its scheme will provide a useful source of income through rents, as well as revitalising the seafront tourism industry.
Also the council claims its hotel will restore the credentials of the BIC itself bringing major conferences back to the town.
