(1)  naReIt Funds From operations (FFo) and adjusted FFo per diluted share and adjusted earnings before Interest expense, Income taxes, depreciation, amortization and 
other items (adjusted eBItda) are not generally accepted accounting principles (gaaP) financial measures within the meaning of the rules of the securities & exchange 
Commission. these measures have been reconciled to comparable gaaP measures. see page 16 of this report.

(2)  We define our comparable hotels as properties that are owned or leased by us and the operations of which are included in our consolidated results, whether as continuing opera-
tions or discontinued operations, for the entirety of the reporting periods being compared, and that have not sustained substantial property damage or business interruption or 
undergone large-scale capital projects during the reporting periods being compared.

(3)  Room revenue per available room (“RevPaR”) represents the combination of average daily room rate charged and the average daily occupancy achieved, and is a commonly 
used indicator of hotel performance. RevPaR does not include food and beverage or other ancillary revenues generated by the property. average room rate and RevPaR are 
presented on a constant us$ basis, which presents 2012 results using the same exchange rates that were effective for the comparable periods in 2013, thereby eliminating the 
effect of currency fluctuation for the year-over-year comparisons.

our annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the securities and exchange Commission is included in our mailing to stockholders and 
together with this 2013 annual Report forms our annual report to stockholders within the meaning of seC rules.

estate ComPany WItH Investments In HIgH QualIty Hotels 

In Key maRKets aRound tHe gloBe. our long-term goal is 

to maximize stockholder value through disciplined and oppor-

tunistic capital allocation and sound financial management. We 

are invested in 138 hotels directly or through joint ventures 

across the united states and around the globe, focusing on 

gateway cities and resort locations that have significant barriers 

to entry and that are positioned to attract premium corporate, 

leisure and international travelers. our properties are operated 

by world-class operators with well established brands that we 

believe will help provide attractive returns on our investment. 

With assets in key markets such as new york, Washington, d.C., 

Chicago, san Francisco, los angeles, Rio de janeiro, melbourne, 

london and Paris, we believe our portfolio is unmatched and 

the potential for growth is strong.

our 2013 operating performance marked the fourth straight 
year of strong increases in comparable RevPaR, with growth 
of 5.8% on a constant dollar basis. our results were driven first 
by strong demand which allowed us to drive rate in both our 
group and transient segments, and, second and equally impor-
tant, by excellent cost controls which led to another year of 
strong margin improvement. some of the highlights for the last 
twelve months include:

3  adjusted Funds from operations increased 19% to $1.31 per 
diluted share, while adjusted eBItda grew almost 10% to 
$1.306 billion. net income for the year was $325 million, 
while diluted earnings per common share was $0.42;

3  We acquired two exceptionally well-located hotels in target 
markets: the Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach in may for $139 mil-
lion and then, in the first quarter of 2014, the Powell street 
Hotel  in  san  Francisco  for  $75  million,  including  the  fee 
simple interest in both properties. the Powell street Hotel

to a long-term retail lease with sephora, a leading provider 
of perfume and cosmetics.  We also expanded our presence 
in  europe,  acquiring  the  sheraton  stockholm  Hotel  in 
sweden through our joint venture;

3  We further refined the allocation of our portfolio by disposing 
of seven properties in 2013 and early 2014 for a total sales 
price of $960 million, including the sale of an 89% interest in 
the Philadelphia marriott downtown in january 2014. these 
sales included the disposition of properties that are located in 
non-target  markets,  or  where  we  were  otherwise  able  to 
opportunistically take advantage of attractive pricing;

3  We invested $133 million in redevelopment and return on 
investment capital projects that were designed to increase 
profitability of our properties. these projects included the 
redevelopment of the pool area, including new waterslides, 
activity  areas  and  dining  facilities  at  the  orlando  World 
Center marriott and the completion of a new 20,000 square 
foot ballroom at the newark airport marriott in time for the 
2014 super Bowl at the nearby metlife stadium;

3  We  successfully  negotiated  a  40-year  extension  of  the 
ground lease for the Houston airport marriott. We also com-
pleted negotiations of management agreements that resulted 
in  enhancing  or  obtaining  franchise  rights  on  five  hotels, 
including the recent conversion of the memphis marriott 
downtown to the sheraton memphis downtown;

3  We  celebrated  the  opening  of  the  Hyatt  Place nashville 
downtown in november 2013, a joint development project 
with White lodging services, whose early operating perfor-
mance has significantly exceeded our expectations;

debt thereby significantly reducing average interest rates and 
lengthening our average debt maturities, further solidifying 
the investment grade rating for our senior debt;

3  In  2013,  we  declared  over  $345  million  in  dividends,  or 
$0.46 per share in 2013, representing a 53% increase over 
the prior year. on February 19, 2014, we announced the 
thirteenth  straight  increase  in  our  quarterly  dividend  to 
$0.14 per common share.
as we look to 2014, we continue to believe that the strong 
overall fundamentals in the lodging industry should drive improve-
ments in RevPaR growth and operating results. through our 
continual focus on quality and our disciplined approach to capital 
allocation, we have structured a premium portfolio that is well-
positioned to reap the benefits of the improving economies in our 
target markets. at the same time, our prudent financial manage-
ment means that we will be able to timely execute on opportunities 
throughout the lodging cycle.

We are convinced that our combination of quality assets, 
financial strength and management expertise creates an attrac-
tive opportunity for our company and investors. We appreciate 
your support and will continue to strive for increased stock-
holder value.

From london to new york, san Francisco to Rio de janeiro, 
melbourne to los angeles…our portfolio of hotels is truly diversified 
in terms of brand and global presence. We believe one of the keys 
to success in the lodging industry is being the owner of the best 
assets, in prime locations with multiple demand drivers both for 
business and leisure travelers to enhance growth and profitability 
over the long term. With the increasing interdependency of econo-
mies around the world, we have remained focused on major met-
ropolitan markets and international vacation destinations in order 
to capture the ever-expanding pool of global travelers.  In the u.s., 
these markets include Boston, new york, Washington, d.C., miami, 
Chicago, Houston, los angeles, san Francisco, san diego, seattle 
and Hawaii. since 2002, as a result of our persistent efforts to 
assemble an unmatched collection of premier properties, the per-
centage of revenues from our target markets has increased from 

approximately 55% to over 75%, which we believe will enable our 
portfolio to outperform the industry over the long term.

through our european joint venture, we have invested in superior 
assets that are primarily located in urban areas with rich cultural 
histories and recognized global centers of commerce and tourism. 
our focus is on markets such as munich and Barcelona where we 
believe opportunities exist to acquire quality assets at attractive 
yields that exceed our cost of capital. over the last 24 months, our 
investment in our joint venture in europe has nearly doubled, as we 
have acquired assets totaling approximately $745 million, including 
the 192-room le méridien grand Hotel nuremberg in germany 
and the 465-room sheraton stockholm Hotel in sweden. 

In latin america, we have pursued a combination of acquisition 
and development as the lodging industry in this region continues to 
mature, providing favorable long-term growth prospects. While we

own properties in Chile, mexico and Brazil, we have focused the 
majority of our efforts in this region on opportunities in Rio de janeiro 
and são Paulo, as we believe that the increased investment in infra-
structure and international demand generated by the 2014 FIFa 
World Cup and 2016 olympics provide a strong foundation for 
continued growth. In 2014, we expect to complete the $67 million 
development of the 256-room ibis and 149-room novotel properties 
which are centrally located near olympic and soccer venues.

We also continue to explore opportunities in the asia/Pacific 
region. In australian markets, such as sydney and Brisbane, and in 
japanese markets, such as tokyo and Kyoto, we are concentrating 
on both acquiring upper upscale hotels and the development  
or conversion of upscale hotels. our owned and joint venture 
properties in australia and new Zealand had solid growth in 2013 
and we look to build on that success in 2014.

We are committed to designing and executing strategies to achieve 
the highest and best use of our assets. over the past three years, 
we have invested over $600 million in redevelopment and return-
on-investment projects, which are designed to increase cash flow 
and improve profitability by capitalizing on changing market 
conditions and the favorable locations of our properties. Projects 
such as the redevelopment of the sheraton Indianapolis Hotel at

Keystone Crossing, which included the conversion of one of the 
hotel towers to apartment residences and the extensive, multi-year 
renovation of the atlanta marriott Perimeter Center, have gener-
ated average RevPaR growth in 2013 of almost twice the rate of 
our comparable portfolio. 

We also pursue creative strategies that increase value and 
profitability of our properties. during 2013, we increased our 
commitment to the Houston airport marriott by successfully 
negotiating a 40-year extension of the ground lease and the 
management agreement. We will invest approximately $35 mil-
lion to renovate all of the guestrooms, elevators and public areas 
beginning  later  this  year.  similarly,  we  agreed  to  invest  
$23 million in the Calgary marriott in return for favorable 
changes to the management agreement on that hotel and new 
or enhanced franchise rights on three additional properties. 

We seek to maximize the highest and best use of all aspects 
of our hotels. during 2013, we sold four acres of underutilized 
land adjacent to our newport Beach marriott Hotel & spa for 
$24 million for the development of condominiums. our joint 
venture with Hyatt Residential group expects to open the  
131-unit vacation ownership project that is adjacent to our Hyatt 
Regency maui Resort & spa in the fourth quarter of this year. 
our contribution to the joint venture included land used as a 
beachfront parking lot. We also expect the current redevelop-
ment of the retail space and signage component of the new 
york marriott marquis by vornado Realty trust to be completed 
in early 2015. In addition to significantly higher rental income, 
this project promises a dramatic improvement of the property’s 
presence on times square.

as part of our overall portfolio strategy, we continually look 
to recycle capital out of assets that do not fit our core portfolio. 
these are generally properties where we can capitalize on attrac-
tive pricing and apply the proceeds to other business objectives, 
the potential for growth is slower, or where the long-term capital 
needs are higher.

acquiring a world-class portfolio is just one component of becoming 
the premier lodging real estate investment trust. evaluating and 
executing on a plan to position each property to take advantage of 
specific demand drivers in individual markets requires a diversity of 
approaches and is critical in driving profitability in the long run It 
may mean upgrading the lobby/restaurant experience to cater to 
the corporate traveler in new york City, modernizing the meeting 
space to enhance group and convention business in Chicago, or 
enhancing the luxurious world-class golf and spa facilities in naples, 
Florida. We anticipate our guests’ requirements and implement on 
plans to meet those needs, helping to drive bottom line results.

a  perfect  example  of  the  creative  application  of  new 
approaches by our asset management team is the dramatic 
improvements in the food & beverage platforms at our proper-
ties. Beginning in 2010, we undertook an in-depth analysis of 
our outlets to identify opportunities to improve profitability 
across the portfolio, which includes outsourcing and the devel-
opment of a new restaurant prototype. since 2011, we have 
renovated 25 restaurants which have subsequently experienced 
double digit growth in revenues when compared to the pre-
renovation year. Based on our early successes, we are pursuing 
opportunities at eleven additional outlets in 2014.

our core portfolio of well-located hotels is designed to take 
advantage of the growth in group business. our asset and revenue 
management teams work with our operators to develop an optimal 
business mix for each property, including the appropriate base 
of group business in order to drive higher transient rates and 
improve overall revenue growth. In 2013, these efforts resulted 
in RevPaR for our comparable domestic portfolio outperforming 
the industry by fifty basis points.

In addition to driving revenues at our properties, we work 
extensively with our operators and apply our business intelligence 
system to control costs and drive profitability by employing best 
practices. While we have focused on improving individual hotel

operations and profitability, our long-term relationships with  
a  diverse  mix  of  world-class  operators  and  our  position  as  
the nation’s largest lodging ReIt permits us to more broadly 
influence our operators’ business practices providing further 
opportunities to reduce costs across our portfolio. as detailed 
later in our corporate responsibility section, this often entails 
enlisting the latest technologies and strategies to improve energy 
efficiency and reduce our carbon footprint.  It is a part of our 
overall  strategy  that  we  believe  is  important  not  just  for  
our bottom-line, but for the communities in which we operate 
as well, both locally and globally.

an essential factor in producing consistent growth and stockholder 
value is sound financial management. We made significant progress 
towards achieving a rock-solid balance sheet by reducing our 
leverage, lowering interest expense and extending debt maturities. 
since january 1, 2013, including transactions that have occurred 
in the first quarter of 2014, we have made the following strides:

3  We reduced our total debt balance by $1.3 billion with only 3% of 
our revenues being derived  from properties with mortgage debt; 

3  We decreased our weighted average interest rate by 45 basis 

points to 4.95%;

3  We lengthened our weighted average debt maturity to six 
years with no more than 16% of our debt maturing in any one 
year prior to 2023;

3  We lowered our annual cash interest expense payments by 
over 50%, or approximately $205 million since 2007; and,

3  We have increased our fixed charge coverage ratio by over 

160 basis points since 2007.

as a result of these efforts, all of our financial credit statistics 
are stronger than at the peak of the last cycle. Importantly, we 
are very close to achieving our leverage target of 3.0x and expect 
to meet that goal by the end of 2014. We believe that lower 
leverage reduces our overall cost of capital and earnings volatility 
and increases access to capital, thereby providing the necessary 
flexibility to take advantage of opportunities throughout the 
lodging cycle, which we consider a key competitive advantage.

In 2013, the benefits of our sound financial management truly 
came to the fore.  after achieving an investment grade rating on 
our senior notes from moody’s Investors service and standard & 
Poor’s Ratings services we issued $400 million of senior notes 
at an interest rate of 3.75%, using the proceeds to repay debt 
with a higher interest rate. In 2014, Fitch Ratings also upgraded 
our senior notes to investment grade, while standard & Poor’s 
Rating services further upgraded its rating citing our balanced 
maturity schedule and access to multiple types of financing, as 
almost 90% of our debt consists of senior unsecured notes, includ-
ing our exchangeable debentures and borrowings under our credit 
facility. the strength of our balance sheet, with ample liquidity

We focus on delivering measurable results through our corporate 
responsibility program—enhancing our management approach, 
deploying sustainability projects and engaging with our operators 
on environmental performance targets. as a result of these and 
other efforts, we were recognized as a member of 2013 CdP’s 
s&P 500 Climate Performance leadership 
Index and achieved the “green star” status 
from the global Real estate sustainability 
Benchmark. 

our  management  team  maintains  a 
deep focus on three themes: Responsible 
Investment, environmental stewardship 
and Corporate Citizenship: 

3  Investing  responsibly  means  reducing  our  environmental 
impact  and  creating  value  for  our  stockholders.  We  have 
established criteria to evaluate and monitor our progress of 
the  sustainability  elements  of  our  renovations,  as  well  as 
developed  new  methodologies  to  evaluate  sustainability 
opportunities for our acquisitions.

3  environmental stewardship requires a long term commit-
ment. during the period from 2008–2013, we reduced our 
carbon intensity per square foot by 11.6%, positioning us to 
meet our reduction target. We also continued to increase 
water efficiency across our portfolio—for example, at the 
Hyatt Regency maui Resort & spa, we have reduced total 
water consumption by nearly 30% during this timeframe.

3  Practicing good corporate citizenship means using our time 
and resources to make a difference. We supported over 125 
national and local community causes and organizations. our 
employees volunteered more than 600 hours of community 
service,  including  blood  drives,  river  clean-up  events  and 
working with Habitat for Humanity metro maryland to build 
19 affordable townhomes.

our commitment to these goals was evident in three recently 
completed investment projects. our renovation of the Ritz-
Carlton, naples was embedded with sustainability in the design 
with the addition of all new guestroom and corridor HvaC units 
networked to an energy management system, led lighting within 
each guestroom, new high-efficiency central chillers, boilers and 
air handlers, as well as led fixtures and lamps throughout the 
renovated food and beverage outlets. the renovation and redesign 
of the pool complex at the orlando World Center marriott 
incorporated functional sustainable design elements including 
energy efficient pumps with variable frequency drives, led 
lighting, a pool-deck system that reduces the heat island effect 
and locally-sourced concrete and pavers. the Westin new york 
grand Central features energy efficient lighting in guestrooms 
and public spaces, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and materials made 
from recycled content. the hotel also hosts a restaurant serving 
locally-sourced food and organic wines.

Visit the updated Corporate Responsibility section on our website 
for more information on our program and progress on our three themes.

(a) For further discussion of why we believe naReIt FFo and adjusted FFo per diluted share and adjusted eBItda are useful supplemental measures of our performance and the limitations 

on their use, see our annual Report on Form 10-K included in our mailing to stockholders.

(b) naReIt FFo and adjusted FFo per diluted share are adjusted for the effects of dilutive securities. dilutive securities may include shares granted under comprehensive stock plans, 
preferred oP units held by non-controlling partners, exchangeable debt securities and other non-controlling interests that have the option to convert their limited partnership 
interest to common oP units. no effect is shown for securities if they are anti-dilutive.
