Organization | |
LaSalle Hotel Properties (the “Company”), a Maryland real estate investment trust organized on January 15, 1998, primarily buys, owns, redevelops and leases upscale and luxury full-service hotels located in convention, resort and major urban business markets. The Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of its net income that is currently distributed to its shareholders. The income of LaSalle Hotel Lessee, Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, “LHL”), the Company’s wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), is subject to taxation at normal corporate rates. | |
As of March 31, 2014, the Company owned interests in 45 hotels with approximately 11,400 guest rooms located in 10 states and the District of Columbia. Each hotel is leased to LHL (see Note 8) under a participating lease that provides for rental payments equal to the greater of (i) a base rent or (ii) a participating rent based on hotel revenues. The LHL leases expire between December 2014 and December 2016. Lease revenue from LHL is eliminated in consolidation. A third-party non-affiliated hotel operator manages each hotel pursuant to a hotel management agreement. | |
Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held directly or indirectly by, and all of its operations are conducted through, LaSalle Hotel Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Company owned, through a combination of direct and indirect interests, 99.7% of the common units of the Operating Partnership at March 31, 2014. The remaining 0.3% is held by limited partners who held 296,300 common units of the Operating Partnership at March 31, 2014. See Note 6 for additional disclosures related to common operating partnership units. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial information. As such, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These unaudited consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statements of equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014 due to seasonal and other factors. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. | |
Basis of Presentation | |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, LHL and their subsidiaries in which they have a controlling interest, including joint ventures. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. | |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and the amounts of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |
Substantially all of the Company’s revenues and expenses are generated by the operations of the individual hotels. The Company records revenues and expenses that are estimated by the hotel operators to produce quarterly financial statements because the management contracts do not require the hotel operators to submit actual results within a time frame that permits the Company to use actual results when preparing its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for filing by the deadline prescribed by the SEC. Generally, the Company records actual revenue and expense amounts for the first two months of each quarter and estimated revenue and expense amounts for the last month of each quarter. Each quarter, the Company reviews the estimated revenue and expense amounts provided by the hotel operators for reasonableness based upon historical results for prior periods and internal Company forecasts. The Company records any differences between recorded estimated amounts and actual amounts in the following quarter; historically, these differences have not been material. The Company believes the quarterly revenues and expenses, recorded on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) based on an aggregate estimate, are fairly stated. | |
Share-Based Compensation | |
From time to time, the Company awards nonvested shares under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”), which has approximately five years remaining, as compensation to officers, employees and non-employee trustees (see Note 7). The shares issued to officers and employees vest over three to nine years. The Company recognizes compensation expense for nonvested shares on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based upon the fair value of the shares on the date of issuance, adjusted for forfeitures or as the estimated number of shares expected to vest is revised for awards with performance conditions. | |
Noncontrolling Interests | |
The Company's financial statements include entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Noncontrolling interest is the portion of equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Such noncontrolling interests are reported on the consolidated balance sheets within equity, separately from the Company's equity. On the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), revenues, expenses and net income or loss from less-than-wholly-owned subsidiaries are reported at the consolidated amounts, including both the amounts attributable to the Company and noncontrolling interests. Income or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests based on their weighted average ownership percentage for the applicable period. Consolidated statements of equity include beginning balances, activity for the period and ending balances for shareholders’ equity, noncontrolling interests and total equity. | |
However, the Company’s securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets at the option of the holder, not solely within the control of the issuer, must be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company makes this determination based on terms in applicable agreements, specifically in relation to redemption provisions. Additionally, with respect to noncontrolling interests for which the Company has a choice to settle the contract by delivery of its own shares, the Company evaluates whether the Company controls the actions or events necessary to issue the maximum number of shares that could be required to be delivered under share settlement of the contract. | |
As of March 31, 2014, the consolidated results of the Company include the following ownership interests held by owners other than the Company: (i) the common units in the Operating Partnership held by third parties, (ii) the outside preferred ownership interests in a subsidiary and (iii) the outside ownership interest in a joint venture. | |
Notes Receivable | |
Notes receivable are carried at cost, net of any premiums or discounts which are recognized as an adjustment of yield over the remaining life of the note using the effective interest method. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis consistent with the terms of the notes receivable. A note is deemed to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest contractually due. Interest previously accrued but not collected becomes part of the Company's recorded investment in the note receivable for purposes of assessing impairment. The Company applies interest payments received on non-accrual notes receivable first to accrued interest and then as interest income. Notes receivable return to accrual status when contractually current and the collection of future payments is reasonably assured. | |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | |
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which amends GAAP to require reporting of discontinued operations only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. This pronouncement will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this accounting pronouncement effective January 1, 2014. | |
Reclassification | |
Certain amounts in the 2013 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with 2014 presentation. |

The interest rates as of December 31, 2013 were 0.70% and 0.40% for the $5,400 and $37,100 bonds, respectively.

Credit Facilities | ||||||||||||||||||||
On January 8, 2014, the Company refinanced its $750,000 senior unsecured credit facility with a syndicate of banks. As amended, the credit facility now matures on January 8, 2018, subject to two six-month extensions that the Company may exercise at its option, pursuant to certain terms and conditions, including payment of an extension fee. The credit facility includes an accordion feature which, subject to certain conditions, entitles the Company to request additional lender commitments, allowing for total commitments up to $1,050,000. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at floating rates equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, or (ii) an Adjusted Base Rate plus an applicable margin. Additionally, the Company is required to pay a variable unused commitment fee of 0.25% or 0.30% of the unused portion of the credit facility, depending on the average daily unused portion of the credit facility. | ||||||||||||||||||||
On January 8, 2014, LHL also refinanced its $25,000 unsecured revolving credit facility to be used for working capital and general lessee corporate purposes. As amended, the LHL credit facility now matures on January 8, 2018, subject to two six-month extensions that LHL may exercise at its option, pursuant to certain terms and conditions, including payment of an extension fee. Borrowings under the LHL credit facility bear interest at floating rates equal to, at LHL’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, or (ii) an Adjusted Base Rate plus an applicable margin. Additionally, LHL is required to pay a variable unused commitment fee of 0.25% or 0.30% of the unused portion of the credit facility, depending on the average daily unused portion of the LHL credit facility. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Company's senior unsecured credit facility and LHL's unsecured credit facility contain certain financial covenants relating to net worth requirements, debt ratios and fixed charge coverage and other limitations that restrict the Company's ability to make distributions or other payments to its shareholders upon events of default. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Term Loans | ||||||||||||||||||||
On May 16, 2012, the Company entered into a $177,500 unsecured term loan with a seven-year term maturing on May 16, 2019 (the “First Term Loan”). The First Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate, but was hedged to a fixed interest rate based on the Company's current leverage ratio (as defined in the swap agreements), which interest rate was 3.62% at March 31, 2014, for the full seven-year term (see “Derivative and Hedging Activities” below). | ||||||||||||||||||||
On January 8, 2014, the Company refinanced its $300,000 unsecured term loan (the "Second Term Loan"). The Second Term Loan includes a new accordion feature, which subject to certain conditions, entitles the Company to request additional lender commitments, allowing for total commitments up to $500,000. The Second Term Loan has a new five-year term maturing on January 8, 2019 and bears interest at variable rates, but was hedged to a fixed interest rate based on the Company's current leverage ratio (as defined in the swap agreements), which interest rate was 2.38% at March 31, 2014, through August 2, 2017 (see "Derivative and Hedging Activities below"). | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Company's term loans contain certain financial covenants relating to net worth requirements, debt ratios and fixed charge coverage and other limitations that restrict the Company's ability to make distributions or other payments to its shareholders upon events of default. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Derivative and Hedging Activities | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Unrealized gains and losses on the effective portion of hedging instruments are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"). Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of a cash flow hedge are recognized as interest expense. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") related to currently outstanding derivatives are recognized as an adjustment to income (loss) as interest payments are made on the Company's variable rate debt. Effective May 16, 2012, the Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $177,500 for the First Term Loan's full seven-year term, resulting in a fixed all-in interest rate based on the Company's current leverage ratio (as defined in the swap agreements), which interest rate was 3.62% at March 31, 2014. Effective August 2, 2012, the Company entered into five interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $300,000 for the Second Term Loan through August 2, 2017, resulting in a fixed all-in interest rate based on the Company's current leverage ratio (as defined in the swap agreements), which interest rate was 2.38% at March 31, 2014. The Company has designated its pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap derivatives as cash flow hedges. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The following tables present the effect of derivative instruments on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, including the location and amount of unrealized (loss) gain on outstanding derivative instruments in cash flow hedging relationships, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013: | ||||||||||||||||||||

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any hedge ineffectiveness or amounts that were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness recorded in earnings. | ||||||||||||||||||||
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there was $3,644 and $4,616 in cumulative unrealized gain, respectively, of which $3,634 and $4,603 was included in AOCI, respectively, and $10 and $13 was attributable to noncontrolling interests, respectively. The Company expects that approximately $4,417 will be reclassified from AOCI and noncontrolling interests and recognized as a reduction to income in the next 12 months, calculated as estimated interest expense using the interest rates on the derivative instruments as of March 31, 2014. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Extinguishment of Debt | ||||||||||||||||||||
As discussed above, the Company refinanced its senior unsecured credit facility and Second Term Loan and LHL refinanced its unsecured revolving credit facility on January 8, 2014. The refinancing arrangements for the senior unsecured credit facility and Second Term Loan were considered substantial modifications. In accordance with GAAP guidance, the Company recognized a loss from extinguishment of debt of $2,487, which is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The loss from extinguishment of debt represents a portion of the unamortized deferred financing costs from the original agreements. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Mortgage Loans | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s mortgage loans are secured by the respective properties. The mortgages are non-recourse to the Company except for fraud or misapplication of funds. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The mortgage loans contain debt service coverage ratio tests related to the mortgaged properties. If the debt service coverage ratio for a specific property fails to exceed a threshold level specified in the mortgage, cash flows from that hotel may automatically be directed to the lender to (i) satisfy required payments, (ii) fund certain reserves required by the mortgage and (iii) fund additional cash reserves for future required payments, including final payment. Cash flows may be directed to the lender ("cash trap") until such time as the property again complies with the specified debt service coverage ratio or the mortgage is paid off. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Financial Covenants | ||||||||||||||||||||
Failure of the Company to comply with the financial covenants contained in its credit facilities, term loans and non-recourse secured mortgages could result from, among other things, changes in its results of operations, the incurrence of additional debt or changes in general economic conditions. | ||||||||||||||||||||
If the Company violates the financial covenants contained in any of its credit facilities or term loans described above, the Company may attempt to negotiate waivers of the violations or amend the terms of the applicable credit facilities or term loans with the lenders thereunder; however, the Company can make no assurance that it would be successful in any such negotiations or that, if successful in obtaining waivers or amendments, such amendments or waivers would be on terms attractive to the Company. If a default under the credit facilities or term loans were to occur, the Company would possibly have to refinance the debt through additional debt financing, private or public offerings of debt securities, or additional equity financings. If the Company is unable to refinance its debt on acceptable terms, including at maturity of the credit facilities and term loans, it may be forced to dispose of hotel properties on disadvantageous terms, potentially resulting in losses that reduce cash flow from operating activities. If, at the time of any refinancing, prevailing interest rates or other factors result in higher interest rates upon refinancing, increases in interest expense would lower the Company’s cash flow, and, consequently, cash available for distribution to its shareholders. | ||||||||||||||||||||
A cash trap associated with a mortgage loan may limit the overall liquidity for the Company as cash from the hotel securing such mortgage would not be available for the Company to use. If the Company is unable to meet mortgage payment obligations, including the payment obligation upon maturity of the mortgage borrowing, the mortgage securing the specific property could be foreclosed upon by, or the property could be otherwise transferred to, the mortgagee with a consequent loss of income and asset value to the Company. | ||||||||||||||||||||
As of March 31, 2014, the Company is in compliance with all debt covenants, current on all loan payments and not otherwise in default under the credit facilities, term loans, bonds payable or mortgage loans. |

Eight of the Company’s hotels, San Diego Paradise Point Resort and Spa, Hyatt Boston Harbor, Indianapolis Marriott Downtown, The Hilton San Diego Resort and Spa, Hotel Solamar, Viceroy Santa Monica, The Liberty Hotel and Southernmost Hotel Collection are subject to ground leases under non-cancelable operating leases expiring from April 2019 to December 1, 2102. The ground lease on a restaurant facility at Southernmost Hotel Collection expires in April 2019, but the Company can begin negotiating a renewal one year in advance of the lease expiration. The ground lease at Hyatt Boston Harbor expires in March 2026, but the Company has options to extend for over 50 years to 2077. None of the remaining ground leases expire prior to 2045. The Westin Copley Place is subject to a long term air rights lease which expires in December 2077 and requires no payments through maturity. The ground lease related to the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown requires future ground rent payments of one dollar per year. The ground leases at Viceroy Santa Monica and The Liberty Hotel are subject to minimum annual rent increases, resulting in noncash straight-line rent expense of $324 and $327 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which is included in total ground rent expense below. | ||||
Hotel Roger Williams, Harbor Court Hotel and Hotel Triton are subject to capital leases of land and building which expire in December 2044, April 2048 and January 2048, respectively. At acquisition, the estimated fair value of the remaining rent payments of $4,892, $18,424 and $27,752, respectively, were recorded as capital lease obligations. These obligations, net of amortization, are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. | ||||
Total ground rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $2,933 and $2,495, respectively. Certain rent payments are based on the hotel’s performance. Actual payments of rent may exceed the minimum required rent due to meeting specified thresholds. | ||||
Future minimum rent payments, including capital lease payments, (without reflecting future applicable Consumer Price Index increases) are as follows: | ||||
2014 | $ | 7,752 | ||

Reserve Funds for Future Capital Expenditures | ||||
Certain of the Company’s agreements with its hotel managers, franchisors and lenders have provisions for the Company to provide funds, generally 4.0% to 5.0% of hotel revenues, sufficient to cover the cost of (a) certain non-routine repairs and maintenance to the hotels and (b) replacements and renewals to the hotels’ capital assets. Certain of the agreements require that the Company reserve this cash in separate accounts. As of March 31, 2014, $13,564 was available in restricted cash reserves for future capital expenditures. The Company has sufficient cash on hand and availability on its credit facilities to cover capital expenditures under agreements that do not require that the Company separately reserve cash. | ||||
Restricted Cash Reserves | ||||
At March 31, 2014, the Company held $19,694 in restricted cash reserves. Included in such amounts are (i) $13,564 of reserve funds for future capital expenditures, (ii) $4,286 deposited in mortgage escrow accounts pursuant to mortgage obligations to pre-fund a portion of certain operating expenses and debt payments and (iii) $1,844 held by insurance and management companies on the Company’s behalf to be refunded or applied to future liabilities. | ||||
Litigation | ||||
The nature of hotel operations exposes the Company and its hotels to the risk of claims and litigation in the normal course of their business. The Company is not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to the Company’s knowledge, is any litigation threatened against the Company, other than routine actions for negligence or other claims and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are expected to be covered by liability insurance and all of which collectively are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition of the Company. |

In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the Company's charter), the result of which the Company’s common shares of beneficial interest and the common securities of the acquiring or surviving entity are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT LLC or the NASDAQ Stock Market, or any successor exchanges, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series H Preferred Shares and Series I Preferred Shares in whole or in part within 120 days after the change of control occurred, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions to and including the date of redemption. If the Company does not exercise its right to redeem the Series H Preferred Shares and Series I Preferred Shares upon a change of control, the holders of Series H Preferred Shares and Series I Preferred Shares have the right to convert some or all of their shares into a number of the Company’s common shares of beneficial interest based on a defined formula subject to a cap of 4,680,500 common shares and 8,835,200 common shares, respectively. | |||||||||||

Noncontrolling Interests of Common Units in Operating Partnership | |||||||||||
As of March 31, 2014, the Operating Partnership had 296,300 common units of limited partnership interest outstanding, representing a 0.3% partnership interest held by the limited partners. As of March 31, 2014, approximately $9,277 of cash or the equivalent value in common shares, at the Company's option, would be paid to the limited partners of the Operating Partnership if the partnership were terminated. The approximate value of $9,277 is based on the Company's closing common share price of $31.31 on March 31, 2014, which is assumed to be equal to the value provided to the limited partners upon liquidation of the Operating Partnership. The outstanding common units of limited partnership interest are redeemable for cash, or at the Company's option, for a like number of common shares of beneficial interest of the Company. | |||||||||||

Equity Incentive Plan | |||||||
The common shareholders approved the 2009 Plan, which permits the Company to issue equity-based awards to executives, employees, non-employee members of the Board of Trustees and any other persons providing services to or for the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2009 Plan provides for a maximum of 1,800,000 common shares of beneficial interest to be issued in the form of share options, share appreciation rights, nonvested share awards, phantom shares and other equity-based awards. In addition, the maximum number of common shares subject to awards of any combination that may be granted under the 2009 Plan during any fiscal year to any one individual is limited to 500,000 shares. The 2009 Plan terminates on January 28, 2019. The 2009 Plan authorized, among other things: (i) the grant of share options that qualify as incentive options under the Code, (ii) the grant of share options that do not so qualify, (iii) the grant of common shares in lieu of cash for trustees’ fees, (iv) grants of common shares in lieu of cash compensation and (v) the making of loans to acquire common shares in lieu of compensation (to the extent permitted by law and applicable provisions of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002). The exercise price of share options is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, but may not be less than 100% of the fair value of the common shares on the date of grant. Nonvested share awards and options under the 2009 Plan vest over a period determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally a three to five year period, with certain awards vesting over periods of up to nine years. The duration of each option is also determined by the Compensation Committee, subject to applicable laws and regulations. There were no stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2014. At March 31, 2014, there were 1,093,190 common shares available for future grant under the 2009 Plan (including shares that the Company has reserved for issuance under the 2009 Plan pursuant to outstanding nonvested share awards with market or performance conditions). | |||||||
Nonvested Share Awards with Service Conditions | |||||||
From time to time, the Company awards nonvested shares under the 2009 Plan to members of the Board of Trustees, executives, and employees. The nonvested shares vest over three to nine years based on continued service or employment. The Company determines the grant date fair value of the nonvested shares based upon the grant date stock price of its common shares and target number of shares per the award agreements. Compensation costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and are included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. | |||||||
A summary of the Company’s nonvested share awards with service conditions as of March 31, 2014 is as follows: | |||||||

(1) | Amount excludes 29,276 share awards with market conditions which were earned but nonvested due to a service condition as of March 31, 2014. | ||||||
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were $6,839 and $5,160, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested share awards with service conditions. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, these costs were expected to be recognized over a weighted–average period of 2.1 and 2.3 years, respectively. The total intrinsic value of shares vested (calculated as number of shares multiplied by vesting date share price) during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $2,377 and $4, respectively. Compensation costs (net of forfeitures) related to nonvested share awards with service conditions that have been included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss were $740 and $710 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | |||||||
Nonvested Share Awards with Market or Performance Conditions | |||||||
On January 24 and January 26, 2011, the Company’s Board of Trustees granted a target of 8,925 and 35,920 nonvested share awards with market conditions to executives, respectively. The actual amounts of the shares awarded were determined on January 1, 2014, based on the performance measurement period of January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2013, in accordance with the terms of the agreements. On January 1, 2014, the executives earned 79.5% of the target number of shares, or 35,652 shares. The shares representing the difference between 79.5% and 100.0% of the target, or 9,193 shares, were forfeited on January 1, 2014. Of the earned shares, 11,885 shares vested immediately on January 1, 2014 and the remaining 23,767 shares will vest in equal amounts on January 1, 2015 and January 1, 2016 based on continued employment. The executives received cash payments of $75 on the earned shares equal to the value of all dividends paid on common shares from December 31, 2010 until the determination date, January 1, 2014. As of January 1, 2014, the executives are entitled to receive dividends as declared and paid on the earned shares and to vote the shares, including those shares subject to further vesting. | |||||||
On March 20, 2014, the Company’s Board of Trustees granted a target of 71,967 nonvested share awards with either market or performance conditions to executives (the "March 20, 2014 Awards"). The actual amounts of the shares awarded with respect to 35,983 of the 71,967 shares will be determined on January 1, 2017, based on the performance measurement period of January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016, in accordance with the terms of the agreements. The actual amounts of the shares awarded with respect to the remaining 35,984 of the 71,967 shares will be determined on July 1, 2017, based on the performance measurement period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017, in accordance with the terms of the agreements. The actual amounts of the shares awarded will range from 0% to 200% of the target amounts, depending on the performance analysis stipulated in the agreements, and none of the shares are outstanding until issued in accordance with award agreements based on performance. After the actual amounts of the awards are determined (or earned) at the end of the respective performance measurement period, all of the earned shares will be issued and outstanding on those dates. The executives will receive cash payments on the earned shares equal to the value of all dividends paid on common shares from the grant date through the respective determination date. Such amounts will be paid to the awardees on or about January 1, 2017 and July 1, 2017, respectively. Thereafter, the executives will be entitled to receive dividends as declared and paid on the earned shares and to vote the shares. With respect to 35,983 shares, amortization commenced on March 20, 2014, the beginning of the requisite service period, and, with respect to 35,984 shares, amortization will commence on July 1, 2014, the beginning of the requisite service period. | |||||||
The terms stipulated in the March 20, 2014 Awards used to determine the total amount of the shares consist of the following three tranches: (1) a comparison of the Company’s total return to the total returns’ of six companies in a designated peer group of the Company, (2) the Company’s actual performance as compared to a Board-established total return goal and (3) a comparison of the Company’s return on invested capital to the return on invested capital of six companies in a designated peer group of the Company. | |||||||
The tranches described in (1) and (2) are nonvested share awards with market conditions. For the award agreements granted on March 20, 2014, the grant date fair value of the awards with market conditions were estimated by the Company using historical data under the Monte Carlo valuation method provided by a third party consultant. The final values are expected to be determined during the second quarter of 2014 with an insignificant cumulative adjustment to compensation cost anticipated. The third tranche is based on “return on invested capital” discussed below, which is a performance condition. The grant date fair values of the tranches with performance conditions were calculated based on the targeted awards, and the valuation is adjusted on a periodic basis. | |||||||
The capital market assumptions used in the valuations consisted of the following: | |||||||
• | Factors associated with the underlying performance of the Company’s share price and shareholder returns over the term of the awards including total share return volatility and risk-free interest. | ||||||
• | Factors associated with the relative performance of the Company’s share price and shareholder returns when compared to those companies which compose the index including beta as a means to breakdown total volatility into market-related and company specific volatilities. | ||||||
• | The valuation has been performed in a risk-neutral framework. | ||||||
• | Return on invested capital is a performance condition award measurement. The estimated value was calculated based on the initial face value at the date of grant. The valuation will be adjusted on a periodic basis as the estimated number of awards expected to vest is revised. | ||||||
A summary of the Company’s nonvested share awards with either market or performance conditions as of March 31, 2014 is as follows: | |||||||
Number of | Weighted- | ||||||

(2) | Amount excludes 50,000 nonvested share awards with market conditions have been committed for future performance share grants. Fair value will be estimated at the beginning of the performance measurement period on July 1, 2014. | ||||||
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were $7,062 and $5,260, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested share awards with market or performance conditions. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, these costs were expected to be recognized over a weighted–average period of 2.4 and 2.2 years, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 194,637 and 153,943 share awards with market or performance conditions vested, respectively. Additionally, there were 29,276 and 34,318 nonvested share awards with market or performance conditions earned but nonvested due to a service condition as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Compensation costs (net of forfeitures) related to nonvested share awards with market or performance conditions that have been included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss were $809 and $577 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |

Fair Value Measurements | ||||||||||||||||
In evaluating fair value, GAAP outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and a reporting entity’s own assumptions about market data (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of inputs used to determine fair value, which are then classified and disclosed in one of the three categories. The three levels are as follows: | ||||||||||||||||
Level 1—Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in level 1, such as interest rates, yield curves, quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by limited market activity. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques when observable inputs are not available. | ||||||||||||||||
The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies the Company believes to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable judgment and subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, such estimates are not necessarily indicative of amounts that would be realized upon disposition. | ||||||||||||||||
Recurring Measurements | ||||||||||||||||
For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, quantitative disclosure of their fair value is as follows: | ||||||||||||||||

Description | Consolidated Balance Sheet Location | |||||||||||||||
Derivative interest rate instruments | Prepaid expenses and other assets | $ | 3,644 | $ | 4,616 | |||||||||||
The fair value of each derivative instrument is based on a discounted cash flow analysis of the expected cash flows under each arrangement. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative instrument, including the period to maturity, and utilizes observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities, which are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company also incorporates credit value adjustments to appropriately reflect each parties' nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement, which utilizes level 3 inputs such as estimates of current credit spreads. However, the Company has assessed that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. | ||||||||||||||||
Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value | ||||||||||||||||

The Company estimated the fair value of its borrowings under credit facilities, term loans, bonds payable and mortgage loans using a weighted average effective interest rate of 3.1% as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The assumptions reflect the terms currently available on similar borrowings to borrowers with credit profiles similar to the Company's. As of December 31, 2013, the Company estimated that the fair value of its note receivable, which was repaid in full on February 10, 2014, approximated its carrying value due to the relatively short period until maturity. | ||||||||||||||||
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying amounts of certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments and the recent acquisition of these items. |

Earnings Per Common Share | ||||||||
The limited partners' outstanding common units in the Operating Partnership (which may be converted to common shares of beneficial interest) have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as there would be no effect on the amounts since the limited partners' share of income or loss would also be added back to net income or loss. Any anti-dilutive shares have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. Unvested share-based awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Accordingly, distributed and undistributed earnings attributable to unvested restricted shares (participating securities) have been excluded, as applicable, from net income or loss attributable to common shareholders used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. Net income or loss figures are presented net of noncontrolling interests in the earnings per share calculations. | ||||||||
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, diluted weighted average common shares do not include the impact of outstanding unvested compensation-related shares because the effect of these items on diluted earnings per share would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, there were 310,385 and 153,196 anti-dilutive compensation-related shares outstanding, respectively. | ||||||||

On April 2, 2014, the Company acquired a 100% leasehold interest in Hotel Vitale, a 200-room urban, full-service hotel located in San Francisco, CA, for $130,000. As of March 31, 2014, a $10,000 deposit was held in escrow for the acquisition of the hotel. The source of the funding for the acquisition was borrowings under the Company’s senior unsecured credit facility. The property is leased to LHL and Commune Hotels and Resorts manages the property.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' |
Basis of Presentation | ' |
Basis of Presentation | |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, LHL and their subsidiaries in which they have a controlling interest, including joint ventures. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. | |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and the amounts of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |
Substantially all of the Company’s revenues and expenses are generated by the operations of the individual hotels. The Company records revenues and expenses that are estimated by the hotel operators to produce quarterly financial statements because the management contracts do not require the hotel operators to submit actual results within a time frame that permits the Company to use actual results when preparing its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for filing by the deadline prescribed by the SEC. Generally, the Company records actual revenue and expense amounts for the first two months of each quarter and estimated revenue and expense amounts for the last month of each quarter. Each quarter, the Company reviews the estimated revenue and expense amounts provided by the hotel operators for reasonableness based upon historical results for prior periods and internal Company forecasts. The Company records any differences between recorded estimated amounts and actual amounts in the following quarter; historically, these differences have not been material. The Company believes the quarterly revenues and expenses, recorded on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) based on an aggregate estimate, are fairly stated. | |
Share-Based Compensation | ' |
Share-Based Compensation | |
From time to time, the Company awards nonvested shares under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”), which has approximately five years remaining, as compensation to officers, employees and non-employee trustees (see Note 7). The shares issued to officers and employees vest over three to nine years. The Company recognizes compensation expense for nonvested shares on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based upon the fair value of the shares on the date of issuance, adjusted for forfeitures or as the estimated number of shares expected to vest is revised for awards with performance conditions. | |
Noncontrolling Interests | ' |
Noncontrolling Interests | |
The Company's financial statements include entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Noncontrolling interest is the portion of equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Such noncontrolling interests are reported on the consolidated balance sheets within equity, separately from the Company's equity. On the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), revenues, expenses and net income or loss from less-than-wholly-owned subsidiaries are reported at the consolidated amounts, including both the amounts attributable to the Company and noncontrolling interests. Income or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests based on their weighted average ownership percentage for the applicable period. Consolidated statements of equity include beginning balances, activity for the period and ending balances for shareholders’ equity, noncontrolling interests and total equity. | |
However, the Company’s securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets at the option of the holder, not solely within the control of the issuer, must be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company makes this determination based on terms in applicable agreements, specifically in relation to redemption provisions. Additionally, with respect to noncontrolling interests for which the Company has a choice to settle the contract by delivery of its own shares, the Company evaluates whether the Company controls the actions or events necessary to issue the maximum number of shares that could be required to be delivered under share settlement of the contract. | |
As of March 31, 2014, the consolidated results of the Company include the following ownership interests held by owners other than the Company: (i) the common units in the Operating Partnership held by third parties, (ii) the outside preferred ownership interests in a subsidiary and (iii) the outside ownership interest in a joint venture. | |
Notes Receivable | ' |
Notes Receivable | |
Notes receivable are carried at cost, net of any premiums or discounts which are recognized as an adjustment of yield over the remaining life of the note using the effective interest method. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis consistent with the terms of the notes receivable. A note is deemed to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest contractually due. Interest previously accrued but not collected becomes part of the Company's recorded investment in the note receivable for purposes of assessing impairment. The Company applies interest payments received on non-accrual notes receivable first to accrued interest and then as interest income. Notes receivable return to accrual status when contractually current and the collection of future payments is reasonably assured. | |

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | |
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which amends GAAP to require reporting of discontinued operations only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. This pronouncement will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this accounting pronouncement effective January 1, 2014. | |
