Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P.

In connection with the Company’s request for acceleration of the effective date of the Registration Statement referred to above, the Company, its officers and directors acknowledge the following:
