    “We continued to experience healthy demand growth in travel, from both business and leisure, throughout the fourth quarter, allowing Pebblebrook and the industry to increase occupancies and push pricing,” noted Jon Bortz, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. “We expect that 2012 will be a very good year for the overall hotel industry, with the continuation of these positive trends. We’re forecasting U.S. industry RevPAR to increase between 6% and 8% over 2011. Our portfolio, comprised of high quality hotels located in major gateway cities, should benefit from this strong recovery in travel and outperform the industry. For our portfolio, we’re forecasting RevPAR to increase 8.0% to 10.0%.”

    The Company’s 2012 outlook includes the operating and financial performance from the hotels the Company owned as of January 23, 2012. The Company’s estimates and assumptions for portfolio RevPAR growth and EBITDA margin growth for 2012 include the hotels owned as of January 23, 2012 as if they were owned for the entire year of 2011. The Company’s outlook assumes no additional acquisitions during 2012; however, the Company intends to take advantage of acquisition opportunities as they become available in the marketplace.

    If any of the foregoing estimates and assumptions prove to be inaccurate, actual results, including the 2012 outlook, may vary, and could vary significantly, from the amounts shown above.
