     All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 3 without definition have the meanings attributed to them in the Original Statement, as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2.

      The items of the Schedule 13D set forth below are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Item 2. Identity and Background.

      Item 2 is amended by amending and restating such Item in its entirety as follows:

     “The name of the persons filing this statement are SCH Minority Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SCHMH”), Six Continents Hotels, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SCH”), InterContinental Hotels Group Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“IGR”, a successor in interest to Bristol Hotels & Resorts, a Delaware corporation), and InterContinental Hotels Group PLC, a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“IHG”, and together with SCHMH, SCH and IGR, the “IHG Entities” or the “Reporting Persons”).

     The address of the principal business and the principal office of SCHMH is Three Ravinia Drive, Suite 100, Atlanta, Georgia 30346. The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment, and citizenship of each director and executive officer of SCHMH is set forth on Schedule A.

     The address of the principal business and the principal office of SCH is Three Ravinia Drive, Suite 100, Atlanta, Georgia 30346. The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment, and citizenship of each director and executive officer of SCH is set forth on Schedule B.

     The address of the principal business and the principal office of IGR is Three Ravinia Drive, Suite 100, Atlanta, Georgia 30346. The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment, and citizenship of each director and executive officer of IGR is set forth on Schedule C.

     The address of the principal business and the principal office of IHG is 67 Alma Road, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 3HD, United Kingdom. The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment, and citizenship of each director and executive officer of Six Continents is set forth on Schedule D.

     Effective April 15, 2003, Six Continents PLC separated into two new listed entities, InterContinental Hotels Group PLC, comprising the hotels and soft drinks businesses and Mitchells & Butlers plc, comprising the retail and standard commercial property developments business.

     IHG is a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales and is the ultimate parent of SCHMH, SCH and IGR. The business of IHG and its subsidiaries comprises the ownership, management, leasing and franchising of hotels and resorts. The sole activity of SCHMH is the ownership of Shares. SCH owns, operates and franchises hotels under the names “Crowne Plaza”, “Holiday Inn”, “Holiday Inn Express” and “Staybridge Suites”. IGR leases and manages hotels in North America.

     During the last five years, none of the IHG Entities, nor any other person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the IHG Entities, nor to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons listed on Schedules A, B, C and D attached hereto, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.”

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

      Item 4 is amended by inserting the following paragraphs immediately after the fourth paragraph thereof:

     “Each of SCHMH, SCH and IGR entered into separate Purchase Agreements with RREEF America L.L.C. (“RREEF”), dated as of February 9, 2006, pursuant to which SCHMH sold 7,161,697 Shares, SCH sold 1,924,618 Shares and IGR sold 413,685 Shares at a price of $19 per Share.






     In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements entered into by the IHG Entities, the Issuer’s Board of Directors exempted RREEF from certain provisions in the Issuer’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement that prohibit ownership by any person of more than 9.9% of the outstanding Shares. As a result of the disposition of Shares by IHG Entities pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, IHG Entities decreased their ownership interest in the Issuer from approximately 17.1% to 0.9% .”

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

      Item 5 is amended by amending and restating such Item in its entirety as follows:

“(a)(i) For the purpose of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, SCHMH sold 7,161,67 Shares and no longer beneficially owns any Shares of the Issuer;

(a)(ii) For the purpose of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, SCH sold 1,924,618 Shares and now beneficially owns 532,428 Shares, representing approximately 0.9% of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer;

(a)(iii) For the purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, IGR sold 413,685 Shares and no longer beneficially owns any Shares of the Issuer; and

(a)(iv) IHG, the indirect parent of SCHMH, SCH and IGR, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, beneficially owns 532,428 Shares (the total Shares owned by SCHMH, SCH and IGR), representing approximately 0.9% of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer.

     Except as set forth in this Item 5(a), none of the IHG Entities, nor any other person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, the IHG Entities, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any persons named in Schedules A, B, C or D hereto owns beneficially any Shares.

     Due to the sale of the Shares, each IHG Entity ceased to be a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer.

          (b) SCH has shared power to vote and to dispose of 532,428 Shares and IHG has shared power to vote and to dispose of 532,428 Shares.

            (c) None, other than the reported event described in Item 4.

            (d) Not applicable.

            (e) Not applicable.”

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

     Except as set forth above, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships between the IHG Entities and any other person with respect to any Shares of the Issuer.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

      Item 7 is amended by adding the following language at the end thereof:

  “Exhibit 10: Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2006, between SCHMH and RREEF.
     
  Exhibit 11: Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2006, between SCH and RREEF.

IN LIEU OF A
SPECIAL MEETING

February 7, 2006

     Pursuant to Section 2-408(c) of the Maryland General Corporation Law, the undersigned, constituting all of the members of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated, a Maryland corporation (the “Corporation”), do hereby consent that when all of the members of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors have signed this written consent, or an exact counterpart hereof, the preambles and resolutions below shall be passed and adopted as resolutions of the Executive Committee of the Boardof Directors to have the same force and effect as if adopted at a special meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors duly called and held and hereby direct that this written consent to such action be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation:

Exemption From Prohibition of Ownership of More than 9.9% of the Outstanding Shares
of Any
Class of Equity Stock.

     WHEREAS, certain subsidiaries of InterContinental Hotels Group plc (collectively, “IHG”) hold an aggregate of 10,032,428 shares of the outstanding common stock of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”), representing approximately 17.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock;

     WHEREAS, subsections D.(2) and D.(3) of Article V of the Charter of the Corporation prohibit the Beneficial Ownership and Constructive Ownership of more than 9.9% of the outstanding shares of any class of Equity Stock of the Corporation (the “Ownership Limit”), provided that, the Board of Directors may, pursuant to subsection D.(9) of Article V, exempt certain specified shares of Equity Stock of the Corporation proposed to be transferred to, and/or owned by, a person who has provided the Board of Directors with such evidence, undertakings and assurances as the Board of Directors may require that such transfer to, and/or ownership by, such person of the specified shares will not prevent the continued qualification of the Corporation as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated under the Code; and pursuant to such subsection D.(9), the Board of Directors previously granted an exemption with respect to the ownership by IHG of the Corporation’s Common Stock;

     WHEREAS, IHG now desires to transfer the majority of the shares of Common Stock owned by it in a block sale to RREEF America, L.L.C. (“RREEF”), and in

1






connection with such proposed transfer, RREEF, on its own behalf and on behalf of its affiliates (the “Affiliates”), has requested an exemption from the Ownership Limit;

     WHEREAS, RREEF is an investment adviser, registered pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, which has discretionary investment management authority with respect to securities held in its clients’ accounts, and RREEF’s clients are primarily institutional investors, such as public and private pension funds and investment companies who custody their securities with custodians of their own selection;

     WHEREAS, RREEF has represented to the Corporation that it is a passive investor which may be deemed to “beneficially own” its clients’ securities solely by virtue of certain rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and which broadly define “beneficial owner” as a person who has voting power and/or investment power (see Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), however RREEF does not directly hold its clients’ securities and has no economic interest in its clients’ securities;

     WHEREAS, the vast majority of RREEF’s clients, including its registered investment company clients, and most of its government and pension fund clients, are not treated as “individuals” for purposes of the “five-or-fewer” test applicable to REITs and RREEF has disclaimed purchasing the Common Stock for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the Corporation;

     WHEREAS, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors has been advised that granting RREEF an exemption from the Ownership Limit would not prevent the continued qualification of the Corporation as a REIT;

     WHEREAS, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors understands that Hunton & Williams LLP will deliver an opinion to the effect that the Corporation will not fail to qualify as a REIT as a result of granting an exemption to RREEF with respect to RREEF’s acquisition, in the aggregate with the holdings of its Affiliates, of Common Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit;

     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that, the Corporation hereby exempts RREEF (the “Exemption”) from the Ownership Limit with respect to the beneficial and constructive ownership (as determined pursuant to Article V of the Charter) by RREEF (together with its Affiliates) of up to 17.5% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions described in these resolutions;

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Exemption (i) is conditioned on (A) RREEF and its Affiliates having discretionary investment management authority over no more than 17.5%, in the aggregate, of the outstanding Common Stock at any time, (B) no individual account managed by RREEF owning through RREEF, beneficially or constructively (as determined pursuant to Article V of the Charter), more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock; and (C) no Person (as that term is defined by the Code) that owns Common Stock through a RREEF account beneficially or constructively owning

2






(as determined pursuant to Article V of the Charter) more than 9.9% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company at any time, and (ii) will be automatically revoked to the extent that any of the above conditions is breached;

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors reserves the right to examine the effects, if any, on the Corporation’s REIT status of RREEF’s ownership of Common Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, and further reserves the right to suspend, revoke, or modify the RREEF Exemption at any time to the extent necessary for the Corporation to maintain its REIT status;

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that Lawrence D. Robinson is hereby authorized and directed to notify the appropriate RREEF representative of the Exemption and all of the conditions thereon, as set forth in these resolutions; and

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that Lawrence D. Robinson is hereby authorized, in his discretion, to review periodically the ownership of Common Stock by RREEF, including making appropriate inquiries of RREEF, and to report, in his discretion, to the Board of Directors any facts or circumstances as a result of which beneficial ownership of Common Stock by RREEF threatens or jeopardizes the Corporation’s status as a REIT; and

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the effective date of these resolutions shall be February 7, 2006.

ANNEX II

UNANIMOUS WRITTEN CONSENT OF
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
FELCOR LODGING TRUST INCORPORATED
IN LIEU OF A
SPECIAL MEETING

February 7, 2006

     Pursuant to Section 2-408(c) of the Maryland General Corporation Law, the undersigned, constituting all of the members of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated, a Maryland corporation (the “Corporation”), do hereby consent that when all of the members of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors have signed this written consent, or an exact counterpart hereof, the preambles and resolutions below shall be passed and adopted as resolutions of the Executive Committee of the Boardof Directors to have the same force and effect as if adopted at a special meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors duly called and held and hereby direct that this written consent to such action be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation:

Exemption From Prohibition of Ownership of More than 9.9% of the Outstanding Shares
of Any
Class of Equity Stock.

     WHEREAS, certain subsidiaries of InterContinental Hotels Group plc (collectively, “IHG”) hold an aggregate of 10,032,428 shares of the outstanding common stock of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”), representing approximately 17.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock;

     WHEREAS, subsections D.(2) and D.(3) of Article V of the Charter of the Corporation prohibit the Beneficial Ownership and Constructive Ownership of more than 9.9% of the outstanding shares of any class of Equity Stock of the Corporation (the “Ownership Limit”), provided that, the Board of Directors may, pursuant to subsection D.(9) of Article V, exempt certain specified shares of Equity Stock of the Corporation proposed to be transferred to, and/or owned by, a person who has provided the Board of Directors with such evidence, undertakings and assurances as the Board of Directors may require that such transfer to, and/or ownership by, such person of the specified shares will not prevent the continued qualification of the Corporation as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated under the Code; and pursuant to such subsection D.(9), the Board of Directors previously granted an exemption with respect to the ownership by IHG of the Corporation’s Common Stock;

     WHEREAS, IHG now desires to transfer the majority of the shares of Common Stock owned by it in a block sale to RREEF America, L.L.C. (“RREEF”), and in

1






connection with such proposed transfer, RREEF, on its own behalf and on behalf of its affiliates (the “Affiliates”), has requested an exemption from the Ownership Limit;

     WHEREAS, RREEF is an investment adviser, registered pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, which has discretionary investment management authority with respect to securities held in its clients’ accounts, and RREEF’s clients are primarily institutional investors, such as public and private pension funds and investment companies who custody their securities with custodians of their own selection;

     WHEREAS, RREEF has represented to the Corporation that it is a passive investor which may be deemed to “beneficially own” its clients’ securities solely by virtue of certain rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and which broadly define “beneficial owner” as a person who has voting power and/or investment power (see Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), however RREEF does not directly hold its clients’ securities and has no economic interest in its clients’ securities;

     WHEREAS, the vast majority of RREEF’s clients, including its registered investment company clients, and most of its government and pension fund clients, are not treated as “individuals” for purposes of the “five-or-fewer” test applicable to REITs and RREEF has disclaimed purchasing the Common Stock for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the Corporation;

     WHEREAS, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors has been advised that granting RREEF an exemption from the Ownership Limit would not prevent the continued qualification of the Corporation as a REIT;

     WHEREAS, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors understands that Hunton & Williams LLP will deliver an opinion to the effect that the Corporation will not fail to qualify as a REIT as a result of granting an exemption to RREEF with respect to RREEF’s acquisition, in the aggregate with the holdings of its Affiliates, of Common Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit;

     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that, the Corporation hereby exempts RREEF (the “Exemption”) from the Ownership Limit with respect to the beneficial and constructive ownership (as determined pursuant to Article V of the Charter) by RREEF (together with its Affiliates) of up to 17.5% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions described in these resolutions;

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Exemption (i) is conditioned on (A) RREEF and its Affiliates having discretionary investment management authority over no more than 17.5%, in the aggregate, of the outstanding Common Stock at any time, (B) no individual account managed by RREEF owning through RREEF, beneficially or constructively (as determined pursuant to Article V of the Charter), more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock; and (C) no Person (as that term is defined by the Code) that owns Common Stock through a RREEF account beneficially or constructively owning

2






(as determined pursuant to Article V of the Charter) more than 9.9% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company at any time, and (ii) will be automatically revoked to the extent that any of the above conditions is breached;

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors reserves the right to examine the effects, if any, on the Corporation’s REIT status of RREEF’s ownership of Common Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, and further reserves the right to suspend, revoke, or modify the RREEF Exemption at any time to the extent necessary for the Corporation to maintain its REIT status;

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that Lawrence D. Robinson is hereby authorized and directed to notify the appropriate RREEF representative of the Exemption and all of the conditions thereon, as set forth in these resolutions; and

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that Lawrence D. Robinson is hereby authorized, in his discretion, to review periodically the ownership of Common Stock by RREEF, including making appropriate inquiries of RREEF, and to report, in his discretion, to the Board of Directors any facts or circumstances as a result of which beneficial ownership of Common Stock by RREEF threatens or jeopardizes the Corporation’s status as a REIT; and

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the effective date of these resolutions shall be February 7, 2006.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this consent to be effective as of the date written above.
