Therefore, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries lease the hotel properties to XHR Holding Inc.

The accompanying combined condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, XHR Holding, as well as all wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated investments in real estate entities. The Company's subsidiaries and consolidated investments in real estate entities generally consist of limited liability companies ("LLCs"), limited partnerships ("LPs") and the TRS. The effects of all significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. As of March 31, 2016, the Company owned 50 lodging properties, 48 of which were wholly owned, with a total of 12,548 rooms, including a 75% ownership interest in two hotels owned through two investments in real estate entities.
