Wasps Deputy Chairman Nick Eastwood has said that Coventry City FC are still an important part of business at the Ricoh Arena.
Wasps announced new plans for the Ricoh Arena yesterday but they did not include the Sky Blues.
However, speaking to BBC Coventry & Warwickshire, Mr Eastwood said: "Coventry City are a very important part of our business.
"They have a significant number of fans who come. They are very important.
If I was them, I'd be concentrating on the football side of things," he told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire's Phil Upton. "I'm not sure they'd want to be distracted to by conversations about hotels and what things would look like.
"I don't think they'd expect to be consulted on that because it's really our decision. Clearly we own the stadium. But it can only be of our benefit to them. All the changes are not in the stadium itself, but mainly in the atrium, largely about the non-sporting side of the business.
"We consult very regularly with the Sky Blues, not only with the officials, Steve Waggott (Coventry City's chief executive) and his people but with the fans representative groups.
I've spoken to the Sky Blues Trust on a number of occasions and gone to their meetings. We want to be as consultative as we can."
"Our attendances are a fantastic reflection of the amazing reception we've had in the city and the surrounding area.
"I've always thought that the people of Coventry are just very proud of the Ricoh Arena and they went to support anything that helps the Ricoh to be successful in its own right.
"We've agreed terms with probably the most famous hotel name in the world. It announces the quality we're looking for and signifies that incredibly important and prestigious brands want to be associated with the Ricoh Arena, and Wasps, and indeed with the Sky Blues too."
