971 So.2d 1001 (2008)

HILTON INTERNATIONAL CO. and Hilton Hotels Corporation, Appellants, v. August CARRILLO, et al., Appellees.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

January 9, 2008.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Greenberg Traurig and Hilarie Bass, Elliot H. Scherker, Mark A. Salky and Daniel M. Samson, Miami; Kardaras and Kelleher, for appellants.

Motley Rice and Robin R. Anderson, Ronald L. Motley, Jodi Westbrook Flowers, Donald A. Migliori, Michael E. Elsner, Justin B. Kaplan, Miami, and John M. Eubanks, for appellees.

Before COPE, GREEN, and SALTER, JJ.


SALTER, J.

Appellants Hilton International Company and Hilton Hotels Corporation ("Hilton") appeal a non-final order denying their motion to dismiss for forum non conveniens. Because we find the appellees' connection to Florida too attenuated, and because there are adequate and more convenient forums in Israel and Egypt, we reverse the trial court and remand with instructions to grant Hilton's motion to dismiss for forum non conveniens.
