Explanatory Note

The Schedule 13D filed on March 21, 2011 (the “Initial Schedule 13D”) on behalf of The Woodbridge Company Limited (“Woodbridge”), as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 thereto (“Amendment No. 1”), is hereby further amended and supplemented as set forth below (“Amendment No. 2” and, together with the Initial Schedule 13D and Amendment No. 1, the “Schedule 13D”). Information reported in the Initial Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1 (the “Amended Schedule 13D”), remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, supplemented, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment No. 2.

The shares of common stock (the “Common Shares”) of Strategic Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Strategic Hotels”) that are the subject matter of this Schedule 13D are beneficially owned by Woodbridge. Woodbridge indirectly owns the Common Shares through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TWCL US, Inc., which is an investment holding company.

Woodbridge, a private company, is the primary investment vehicle for members of the family of the late Roy H. Thomson, the first Lord Thomson of Fleet. Prior to his death in 2006, Kenneth R. Thomson controlled Woodbridge by holding shares of a holding company of Woodbridge, Thomson Investments Limited. Under his estate arrangements, the 2003 TIL Settlement, a trust of which The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company (the “Trust Company”) is trustee and members of the family of the late first Lord Thomson of Fleet are beneficiaries, holds those holding company shares. Kenneth R. Thomson established these arrangements to provide for long-term stability of the business of Woodbridge. The equity of Woodbridge continues to be owned by members of successive generations of the family of the first Lord Thomson of Fleet. Under the Kenneth R. Thomson estate arrangements, the directors and officers of Woodbridge are responsible for its business and operations. In certain limited circumstances, including very substantial dispositions of assets by Woodbridge, the estate arrangements provide for approval of the Trust Company, as trustee, to be obtained. Given Woodbridge’s substantial other assets, no such approval would be required for a disposition of some or all of the Common Shares owned by Woodbridge and its subsidiary.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a)-(b)

The ownership percentages set forth herein are based on the 205,582,838 Common Shares outstanding as of November 11, 2013, as indicated in Strategic Hotels’ Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013 filed by Strategic Hotels on November 12, 2013.

Woodbridge is the beneficial owner of 8,200,000 Common Shares, representing approximately 4.0% of the outstanding Common Shares as of December 10, 2013. Woodbridge owns these Common Shares indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TWCL US, Inc. Woodbridge has voting and dispositive power over the Common Shares.

(c)

Except as reported on a Form 4 filed by Woodbridge on November 15, 2013, the Amended Schedule 13D filed by Woodbridge on November 20, 2013 and this Amendment No. 2, Woodbridge has not effected any transactions in the Common Shares during the past 60 days. As reported on the Form 4 filed by Woodbridge on November 15, 2013 and the Amended Schedule 13D filed by Woodbridge on November 20, 2013, on November 13, 2013, Woodbridge sold 8,000,000 Common Shares at $8.40 per share in an ordinary brokerage transaction. On December 10, 2013, Woodbridge sold 7,000,000 Common Shares at $8.65 per share in an ordinary brokerage transaction.

To the knowledge of Woodbridge, none of the executive officers or directors of Woodbridge has effected any transactions in the Common Shares during the past 60 days.

(d)

Except as indicated in Item 2 of the Schedule 13D, no person is known to Woodbridge to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, any Common Shares beneficially owned by Woodbridge.

(e)

Woodbridge ceased to be a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Common Shares on December 10, 2013.

Signature

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
