Item 5.   Other Events.

          On December 30, 1998, following approval by the limited partners,
Hanover Marriott Limited Partnership was acquired by Host Marriott, L.P., the
Operating Partnership, through a merger as described in the Prospectus/Consent
Solicitation Statement dated October 8, 1998.  The final Exchange Value is
$123,202 per Hanover Marriott Limited Partnership Unit.  The minimum number of
OP Units (or Common Shares of Host REIT if a limited partner so elects) a
limited partner will receive in exchange for his interest in Hanover Marriott
Limited Partnership is 7,949 per Partnership Unit.  The Note Election Amount is
equal to $98,562 per Partnership Unit.  The period of time during which a
limited partner may elect to receive an Operating Partnership Note or Common
Shares of Host REIT in exchange for OP Units will expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern
time, on January 22, 1999, unless extended.  If a limited partner does not make
an election, the limited partner will receive and retain OP Units.  The period
of time over which the price of an OP Unit will be determined ends on January
29, 1999.  The price per OP Unit will be equal to the average closing price of
Host REIT shares on the New York Stock Exchange (HMT) over the 20 trading days
ending on January 29, 1999 (but will not be greater than $15.50 or less than
