ITEM 2.01. COMPLETION OF AN ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     On October 1, 2004, Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired the Hyatt Orange County hotel in Anaheim, California, from Atrium Plaza, LLC. The purchase price was $81.0 million in cash, inclusive of the seller’s commitment to fund a $6.0 million renovation which will be completed in November 2004. The purchase price was the result of an arms’ length negotiation.

     The Hyatt Hotel has 654 rooms in two towers connected with a 17-story atrium, 65,000 square feet of meeting space, an exercise facility, restaurant, Starbucks and Pizza Hut outlets, two swimming pools, a business center, and a gift shop. The hotel is located approximately one mile south of the entrance to Disneyland Park, the Anaheim Convention Center, Downtown Disney District, and California Adventure.
