- Hotel fundamentals have improved in the US, with demand increasing and new supply stabilizing. However, ADR recovery is lagging behind occupancy gains.
- US hotel transaction volume in 2010 YTD increased over 200% compared to the same period in 2009. REITs are the dominant buyers, while owner/operators and private equity are significant sellers.
- Equity capital remains abundant from various investor types seeking high-yield returns. However, debt financing is gradually becoming more available due to improving underwriting standards and low interest rates, though still selective. Upcoming CMBS loan maturities will need to be addressed starting in 2011.

Where are we today?
Fundamentals getting better; transactions market increasingly competitive
Lodging fundamentals have turned the corner
Demand is back; ADRs will take longer to return; abating new supply pipeline will strengthen recovery
New York and Boston are best-performing major markets with double-digit RevPAR increases in YTD 2010
Demand in Washington, D.C. has increased 7.2%, though RevPAR is largely flat due to supply increases and
pressure on rates
YTD 2010 U.S. hotel transactions volume increased over 200%
Substantial amount of equity waiting to be invested in hotel real estate
Lack of quality hotel investment product on the market is resulting in competitive bidding
Distress is increasing but does not appear to be in form of tidal wave
Liquidity both for acquisitions and re-financings is slowly increasing; CMBS re-emergence on horizon?

Capital markets overview - Equity
No shortage of equity in marketplace
Common equity investor traits
There is plenty of equity on the sidelines – REITs, private equity, foreign capital, operators,
etc. Most major YTD hotel acquisitions by REITs have been funded by all-equity
Targeting high-yield investments, but increased pressure from investors to deploy capital
sooner rather than later
Still focused on distressed assets and debt at a discount
Visibility for underwriting future performance is improving
Trough operating performance has rendered cap rates virtually meaningless—value is
viewed on a “price per pound” basis
9. 9
Capital markets overview - Debt
Still selective but opening up
The market is still tight relative to historic norms, but gradual easing is evident
Underwriting standards are increasingly viable
Lenders are seeking opportunities, but there is a lack of product in the market
Exceptionally low indices have created an attractive lending environment
Case Study: Jones Lang LaSalle Secures $158.5 Million Senior
Debt Financing for Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers in July 2010
Transaction summary

existing loan for the 1,209-room Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers.
•The marketing effort was met with interest from financial institutions,
despite the large loan size and the leasehold ownership structure.
•Jones Lang LaSalle secured $158.5 million in senior debt financing from
Goldman Sachs Real Estate Mezzanine Partners, in one of the largest
single-asset hotel loans in the U.S. in the past two years.
