14 External Investment Strategies Upscale and Luxury Full-Service Assets LaSalle Hotel Properties seeks to invest in full-service upscale and luxury properties in urban and resort locations as they offer the greatest customer diversity with favorable returns, market dynamics and risk levels. Highest Barriers to Entry New development costs generally exceed acquisition prices Long and lengthening construction periods Land: large requirement, highest cost and competitive uses Complicated operations Most difficult to finance ground up development Ability to Differentiate Product Higher income and more sophisticated customers Create an experience Repositioning and/or Brand Conversion Design sells Pricing Power Average RevPAR growth from 1988 through 2006 for upper upscale hotels is 3.8 percent versus 3.4 percent for US hotels Diversified Customer Base Group, transient, business and leisure Favorable Exit Opportunities Higher quality is more desirable Independent Hotels LHO has 19 independent hotels (soon to be 21 upon the repositioning of two Holiday Inn hotels) in 9 markets in 6 states and the District of Columbia Consumers are demanding more personalized, higher quality goods and services of all kinds and are willing to pay a premium over commoditized products LHO s independent, high style hotels fuse functionality and design to create a unique, personalized experience LHO Independents LHO Brands Rooms ADR RevPAR EBITDA/Room EBITDA Margin 3,232 $ $ $25.5K 31.9% 5,074 $ $ $23.2K 29.5% 240 bps EBITDA Margin premium **Includes hotels owned as of December 31, 2006, for the full year Excludes LaGuardia Marriott due to 2007 sale. 14

15 External Investment Strategies Why Urban? LHO targets urban, resort and convention markets with the highest ADR, occupancy and barriers to entry. While many companies claim to buy in urban markets, LHO has narrowed its definition of urban to the urban core and urban nodes where barriers to entry and demand are at their highest for the entire MSA. Smith Travel Research Definition of Urban Properties located in urban areas with populations greater than 150,000. LHO s Urban Focus Major Cities (Primarily Top Ten) Significant Barriers to Entry 24-Hour Markets live, work, play Multiple Demand Generators Convention, group, business and leisure transient Alternative real estate uses provide value protection Urban grid walkin around markets Urban Supply and Demand Growth 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0% -1% -2% -3% -4% -5% Supply Growth Avg: 1.6% Demand Growth Avg: 2.0% RevPAR Growth Avg: 4.7% -6% Between 1988 and 2006, urban RevPAR growth has averaged 4.7% versus the industry RevPAR growth of 3.4%. 15

16 External Investment Strategies Urban Focus: LHO s Urban Grid versus MSA Occupancy Comparison 90% 85% LHO Portfolio Average: 73.5% STR Urban Average: 68.4% STR Top 25 Markets Average: 68.7% STR U.S. Average: 63.4% 82.8% 85.0% MSA Urban Tracts 80% 75% 77.1% 76.3% 73.3% 76.8% 75.1% 73.9% 74.0% 74.1% 72.9% 70% 71.0% 68.4% 67.1% 67.5% 70.5% 65% 60% DC Boston San Diego Chicago LA NYC Seattle San Fran Location is everything in real estate. On average, for LHO s target markets, occupancy rates in 2006 ran nearly 400 bps higher in the urban core compared to each market s respective MSA. 16

17 External Investment Strategies Urban Focus: LHO s Urban Grid versus MSA RevPAR Comparison $250 $225 $200 LHO Portfolio Average: $ STR Urban Average: $93.49 STR Top 25 Markets Average: $81.82 STR U.S. Average: $61.69 $ $ MSA Urban Tracts $175 $150 $ $ $ $ $ $125 $100 $96.42 $94.81 $95.88 $82.46 $85.50 $79.50 $ $ $ $75 $50 DC Boston San Diego Chicago LA NYC Seattle San Fran Guests are willing to pay a premium to stay in the urban core. In 2006, urban earned nearly $40 more in RevPAR, or 37 percent, versus the MSA. 17

18 Portfolio Investment Strategies Financial Hurdles To maximize investment potential while minimizing risk, LaSalle Hotel Properties has specific financial return requirements that consider the investment environment and the specifics of each asset. 9 percent unlevered IRR hurdle, with higher return IRR requirements for repositionings 8 percent cash on cash requirement, with lower COC return requirements for repositionings Disposition Strategy LaSalle Hotel Properties has disposed of seven hotels since its inception. The sale of a property is carefully evaluated to ensure it maximizes shareholder value in the long-term. To date, the Company utilizes four key criteria to drive dispositions. Suburban market location Offer we can t refuse Fundamental change in the market Misalignment of interests with long-term, inflexible non-cancelable manager San Diego Paradise Point Westin Michigan Avenue Hotel Rouge 18

19 Capital Investment Portfolio Investment Strategies The Company takes a proactive approach to renovating assets and investing capital throughout the cycle to ensure consistent quality. A majority of the capital invested each year is return-generating with similar hurdles to external investment. Currently, 16 of the Company s 31 hotels should experience growth in future years due to repositioning projects, LHO s asset management and/or new facilities. $130 $120 $110 $100 $90 $80 $70 $60 $50 $40 $30 $20 $10 $0 9 Renovation/Repositioning Refurbishment (F) Repositioning Capital Reaches Hotel Description Investment Stabilization 1 Onyx New Hotel Ramp Up Le Montrose Renovation $8.6MM Solamar New Hotel Ramp Up Amarano Recent Acquisition/Asset Management Sheraton Bloomington Brand Conversion & Renovation $10.5MM San Diego Paradise Point Meeting Space Redevelopment $9.1MM Deca Conversion & Repositioning $2.6MM Lansdowne Resort Repositioning & Renovation $60.0MM Viking Repositioning & Renovation $6.6MM Alexis Repositioning & Renovation $10.0MM Chaminade Resort Repositioning & Renovation $11.5MM Holiday Inn on the Hill Upper Upscale, Independent Repositioning $15.0MM Donovan House Conversion & Repositioning $35.0MM Sax Conversion & Repositioning $23.0MM Holiday Inn Wall Street Luxury, Independent Repositioning $10.0MM Hilton San Diego Resort Repositioning & Renovation $17.0MM 2011 $218.9MM **Red indicates hotels currently undergoing ramp up period; blue indicates ongoing or future capital projects
