Morgans Hotel Group lender Ron Burkle has won a victory over Jason Kalisman, pressuring him to check out as chairman and interim CEO of the company, a source close to the situation told The Post.

Morgans announced Wednesday that Kalisman was resigning to attend to personal matters. His grandfather — real estate mogul Alfred Taubman — passed away April 17, leaving a $4 billion estate, which Kalisman will co-manage.

Kalisman has been trying to sell Morgans’ most valuable properties, including New York’s Hudson Hotel. Burkle’s Yucaipa Cos. believes it has the legal right to block a sale.

“Burkle’s gotten in the way of a sale,” sources said. Burkle in 2013 bid $8 a share for Morgans.

Morgans stock rose 2.4 percent Wednesday, to $6.79.

Morgans declined to comment and Yucaipa said, “The Post has tried to make more of this than it is.”
