Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On August 1, 2007, Hospitality Properties Trust, or the Company, issued a press release setting forth the Company’s results of operations and financial condition for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 and also provided certain supplemental operating and financial data for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007. Copies of the Company’s press release and supplemental operating and financial data are furnished as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto, respectively.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

By letter dated June 18, 2007, the Company sent a notice to a subsidiary of Homestead Village Incorporated, or Homestead, stating that Homestead was in default of its obligations under its lease with the Company and that the Company was terminating the lease. Homestead leased 18 Homestead Studio Suites® hotels from the Company for a minimum rent of approximately $15.96 million per year plus percentage rent based upon gross revenues. On July 26, 2007, the Company sold these hotels for $205 million. This sale resolves outstanding disputes with Homestead. Seventeen of these hotels were sold to a separate third party for approximately $192 million. One hotel was purchased by a subsidiary of HRPT Properties Trust, a publicly traded real estate investment trust that is managed by Reit Management & Research LLC, which is also our manager, for approximately $13 million. Net proceeds from the sale after the refund of a $15.96 million security deposit and payment of closing costs were approximately $189 million and were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The Company expects to recognize a gain on this sale of approximately $95 million in the 2007 third quarter.
