EXHIBIT 99.4

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule III included as Exhibit 99.7. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

HOST HOTELS & RESORTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

Years Ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008

(in millions)

Supplemental schedule of noncash investing and financing activities:

During 2010, 2009 and 2008, Host Inc. issued approximately 1.2 million, 3.4 million and 8.8 million shares of common stock, respectively, upon the conversion of Host L.P. units, or OP units, held by non-controlling interests valued at $15 million, $18 million and $119 million, respectively.

On September 2, 2010, we acquired a 90% controlling interest in the W New York, Union Square hotel through a consolidated joint venture in which we are the controlling member. In conjunction with the acquisition, the joint venture assumed a $115 million mortgage debt with a fair value of $119 million, and other liabilities of $8.5 million.

On July 22, 2010, we acquired a leasehold interest in the Le Méridien Piccadilly in London, England. In conjunction with the acquisition, we assumed a $51 million (£33 million) mortgage loan and recorded a $58 million (£38 million) capital lease obligation.

On December 18, 2009, Host Inc. issued 13.4 million shares of common stock valued at $140 million to its stockholders as part of its special common dividend.

On March 12, 2008, we acquired the remaining limited partnership interests in Pacific Gateway Ltd., a subsidiary partnership of Host L.P., which owns the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina, and other economic rights formerly held by our partners, including the right to receive 1.7% of the hotel’s sales, in exchange for 5,575,540 OP Units. The OP units were valued at $93 million based on the closing stock price on such date of Host Inc. of $16.68.
