Exhibit 99.1

Long-Term Incentive Compensation.

Long-term incentive compensation consists entirely of restricted stock. The Company does not award stock options to any executives and, since 2002, has not awarded stock options to any other employees of the Company. The Committee believes that restricted stock creates an incentive for senior executives and other managers to operate the Company in a manner that creates significant long-term value for stockholders.

Restricted stock is granted once for the period 2006-2008, upfront for the entire three year performance period. Approximately eighty-six percent (86%) of the total award is performance based and approximately fourteen percent (14%) is based on continued employment with the Company. One-third of the total award is eligible to vest in each of year-end 2006, 2007, and 2008, subject to satisfying three distinct conditions, (i) an absolute total stockholder return, which is measured by the Company’s share price growth plus dividends declared for the applicable year (“Absolute TSR”), (ii) a relative stockholder return, which is measured by the Company’s total stockholder return relative to companies in the NAREIT Equity Index (“Relative TSR”), and (iii) continued employment with the Company. The number of shares that vest based on continued employment is fixed, however, the number of shares earned based on the Absolute TSR and Relative TSR will vary based on the Company’s performance. Each of the Absolute TSR measure and Relative TSR measure is set with three separate levels – a threshold level, a target level and a high level. Below “threshold”, none of the eligible shares vest. At “threshold”, 25% of the eligible shares vest, at “target”, 50% of the eligible shares vest, and at “high”, 100% of eligible shares (or the maximum award) vest. Vesting is prorated between these levels based on satisfying the noted performance measures. To the extent that annual performance portions do not vest, there is an opportunity for the unvested shares to vest in total based on a cumulative total stockholder return or a cumulative relative stockholder return, in each case over the three-year period of the Plan. In addition, shares would vest in the event of an executive’s death or disability or upon a change in control of the Company. Cash dividends are accrued and paid only on those shares that vest.

The following table shows the potential shares that may be earned under the long-term restricted stock program at the end of the three-year period. The illustration assumes a total grant of 1,750,000 shares for a three-year period of which approximately 14%, or 250,000 shares, may be earned based on service with the Company for that period and 86%, or 1,500,000 shares, may be earned based on satisfaction of performance measures at the “High” level. As noted above, while the shares earned based on continued employment with the Company are fixed in number, the shares earned based on the Relative TSR measure and Absolute TSR measure will vary depending on performance on the spectrum among the levels of “threshold,” “target” and “high.”

Exhibit 99.2

Annual Incentive Award Program

The annual incentive award program is available to all employees of the Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P., and provides employees, including named executive officers, the opportunity to receive cash incentive awards based on the financial performance of the Company and the individual performance of each employee. The Company uses Funds from Operations per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT guidelines as a supplemental measure of operating performance in its earnings releases and financial presentations. The Compensation Policy Committee adopted Funds from Operations per diluted share, adjusted for certain items (“Adjusted FFO”), as the Company financial performance measure for the annual incentive award. The Committee considers adjustments reflecting (i) items that are unusual in nature (for example, the World Trade Center insurance gain, the income from a directors’ and officers’ insurance settlement and the one-time Starwood acquisition costs) and (ii) items that are in the long-term interest of the Company but would reduce Funds from Operations per diluted share in the performance period (such as costs associated with senior notes redemption, debt prepayments, and preferred stock redemptions), which, if included, would not reflect the recurring FFO of the Company. The adjustments are typically explained in the Company’s earnings releases and Forms 10-Q and 10-K in the “Schedule of Significant Transactions Affecting Earnings per Share and Funds from Operations per Diluted Share” and are reviewed by the Audit Committee. The Committee establishes the Adjusted FFO financial goal for the year generally in late January or early February based on, and subject to review and approval of, the Company’s business plan and budget by the Board of Directors.

Employees prepare their own individual performance measures for review and approval by their managers. The Committee reviews and approves the individual performance measures for the most senior officers generally at the same time it establishes the financial measure of performance. Individual performance measures for executives are typically tied to achievement of business plan objectives in their areas of responsibility.

The amount of an employee’s annual cash award depends on (i) his or her salary, because the award is paid as a percentage of annual salary, (ii) the level of performance achieved on each of the Company financial measure and individual performance measure because, as described below, the measures are set at three levels, and (iii) the relative weighting between Company financial and individual performance, which varies, as described below, based on an employee’s position.

Each of the Company financial performance measure and the individual performance measure is set with three separate levels — a “threshold” level, a “target” level and a “high” level — and annual cash awards are prorated for performance between levels. For the Chief Executive Officer, the annual cash parameters are 50% of base salary for performance at the “threshold” level, 100% of base salary for performance at the “target” level and 200% of base salary for performance at the high level. For employees at the level of executive vice president, the bonus parameters are 37.5% of base salary for performance at the threshold level, 75% of base salary for performance at the target level and 150% of base salary for performance at the high level. For employees at the level of senior vice president, the bonus parameters are 27.5% of base salary for performance at the threshold level, 55% of base salary for performance at the target level and 110% of base salary for performance at the high level

As employees attain more responsibility and greater roles in management, more of the annual award is weighted toward the financial performance measure. For example, criteria for the Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and all executive vice presidents are weighted (i) 80% on financial performance, and (ii) 20% on meeting the executive’s business objectives. For employees at the level of senior vice president, the criteria are weighted (i) 50% on financial performance, and (ii) 50% on such employee’s meeting his or her individual business objectives.
