      The undersigned hereby consents to the Proposals, as more fully described in and subject to the accompanying Offer to Purchase and Solicitation Statement dated November 4, 2003, as indicated below. Capitalized terms used below have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase and Solicitation Statement.

(1) The Proposal to allow Purchaser to submit on my behalf, as my agent and attorney-in-fact, the amendments to the Partnership Agreement (the “Amendments”) described in (2) and an accompanying statement of purpose.

FOR o                    AGAINST o                    ABSTAIN o 

(2) The Proposal to adopt the following Amendments to the Partnership Agreement set forth in Annex E to the Offer to Purchase and Solicitation Statement.

(2.a)  An amendment to add the defined term, “Qualified Tender Offer,” to Article I of the Partnership Agreement. The text of this new defined term is contained in Annex E to the Offer to Purchase and Solicitation Statement. This defined term would encompass any cash tender offer for all of the outstanding Units by an offeror who has disclosed an intention to effect a merger of the Partnership with it or one of its subsidiaries upon completion of the tender offer in which the merger consideration is equal to the tender offer price. The Offer (if it is successful), but not the October Kalmia Offer, would meet this definition.

FOR o                    AGAINST o                    ABSTAIN o 

(2.b) An amendment to add the defined term, “Qualified Merger,” to Article I of the Partnership Agreement. The text of this new defined term is contained in Annex E to the Offer to Purchase and Solicitation Statement. This defined term would encompass any merger of the Partnership following a Qualified Tender Offer in which the other party is the offeror or its affiliate and the consideration paid in the merger is the same as the consideration offered in the Qualified Tender Offer.

FOR o                    AGAINST o                    ABSTAIN o 

(2.c)  An amendment to render the transfer restrictions contained in Section 11.01(a) of the Partnership Agreement inapplicable to transfers in connection with Qualified Tender Offers and Qualified Mergers, including the Offer and the Merger. Section 11.01(a) of the Partnership Agreement provides that no transfer of Units is valid or effective, and the General Partner does not have an obligation to recognize a purported transfer, where, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, the transfer would be likely to (i) violate the registration requirements of the Securities Act, (ii) violate any state laws or governmental regulations (including those relating to suitability standards), (iii) cause the Partnership to be treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, (iv) result in the termination of the Partnership for United States federal income tax purposes under Section 708 of the Internal Revenue Code or (v) result in the inability of the Partnership to obtain or continue in effect any license permitting the sale of alcoholic beverages in the Michigan Avenue Hotel.

FOR o                    AGAINST o                    ABSTAIN o 

(2.d) An amendment to prevent the General Partner from suspending the transfer of Units in connection with Qualified Tender Offers or Qualified Mergers, including the Offer and the Merger. This amendment would remove the discretion that Section 11.01(b) of the Partnership Agreement gives the General Partner to suspend transfers of Units if any transfer, when added to all other transfers made within the preceding twelve months, would result in the transfer of 40% or more of the interests in the Partnership.

FOR o                    AGAINST o                    ABSTAIN o 

2

(2.e) An amendment to prevent the General Partner from imposing any transfer restrictions not set forth in the Partnership Agreement on transfers of Units made in connection with any Qualified Tender Offer or Qualified Merger.

FOR o                    AGAINST o                    ABSTAIN o 

(2.f)  Amendments to require that (i) transfers of Units in connection with Qualified Tender Offers and Qualified Mergers be recognized immediately, rather than on the last business day of a calendar quarter, and (ii) the transferee in such transactions be deemed a Substituted Limited Partner immediately. These amendments would also effect technical changes to the Partnership Agreement to facilitate the transfer of Units in a Qualified Tender Offer or Qualified Merger, including the Offer and the Merger.

FOR o                    AGAINST o                    ABSTAIN o 

(2.g) An amendment to permit the Merger or any other Qualified Merger to be effected upon the consent of Limited Partners who collectively hold more than 50% of the Units, without the consent of the General Partner.

FOR o                    AGAINST o                    ABSTAIN o 

(3)  The Proposal to approve the Merger between Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., or one of its subsidiaries, and the Partnership, and the Merger Agreement related thereto, following the adoption of the above described Amendments to the Partnership Agreement and the Merger Agreement related thereto.

FOR o                    AGAINST o                    ABSTAIN o 

      I hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Purchaser and its designees as my true and lawful attorneys-in-fact and proxies with respect to the Units (and with respect to any and all other Units or other securities issued or issuable in respect of such Units on or after Purchaser’s Offer Date), each with full power of substitution, to the full extent of my rights (such power of attorney and proxy being deemed to be an irrevocable durable power coupled with an interest and being unaffected by my disability, incapacity, dissolution, termination or bankruptcy) to vote on the three Proposals described above in the same manner as indicated in this Consent Form (or, if not so indicated, “FOR” the respective Proposals) and to make the submission to the General Partner as contemplated by the first Proposal described above.

      Note: If you wish to tender your Units in addition to delivering your consent to the Proposals described in this Consent Form, you must also complete, sign and deliver the BLUE Agreement of Assignment and Transfer that is included in this package.
