Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 25, 2007, a subsidiary of MHI Hospitality Corporation (“MHI” or the “Corporation”), MHI Hollywood LLC, entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with MCZ/Centrum VI Owner, L.L.C. (“Seller”) to purchase the Crowne Plaza® Sian Resort (the “Hotel”) in Hollywood, Florida for $74,000,000.

Prior to entering into the Purchase Agreement, in September 2005, MHI entered into a contract to purchase the commercial space of the redeveloped hotel in Hollywood, Florida upon completion by Seller. In September 2006, MHI entered into a franchise agreement with InterContinental Hotels Group, through its franchising entity Holiday Hospitality Franchising, Inc., to brand the condominium hotel project as a Crowne Plaza® Resort. Under this Purchase Agreement, the Hotel will be purchased in fee simple and prior agreements with Seller will terminate at the end of the due diligence period, which is 45 days after the signing of the agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to the Hotel. In the event the purchase agreement is terminated by MHI during the due diligence period, the existing agreements relating to the condominium hotel will remain in place.

The property includes a 311-room hotel, approximately 12,000 square feet of meeting space, a retail food and beverage outlet, a large outdoor swimming pool and valet parking space for 300 cars. It also will include a permanent easement for access to the beach from the hotel property. In addition, a contiguous hotel development site owned by Seller will be leased to the purchaser for a term of four years with an option to purchase the site at any time during the lease term.

MHI intends to complete the transaction through a joint venture structure and intends to retain a 25% equity position in the Hotel. The company recently announced a joint venture with The Carlyle Group. Closing is subject to customary conditions and is expected to take place late in the third quarter of 2007. A $950,000 earnest money payment has been deposited into escrow.

On May 25, 2007, MHI Hollywood, LLC, also entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Purchase Agreement dated September 7, 2005 (“Fifth Amendment”), with MCZ/Centrum Florida XIX, L.L.C. modifying and amending certain provisions of the Fourth Amendment to the Purchase Agreement dated September 1, 2006.

A copy of the Fifth Amendment is attached to this current report on Form 8-K as exhibit 10.19C, and is incorporated by reference as though it were fully set forth herein. A copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.27, and is incorporated by reference as though it were fully set forth herein. The foregoing summary descriptions of the Fifth Amendment and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are not intended to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by the complete text of the Fifth Amendment and Purchase Agreement.
