Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (HST) is a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns hotel properties. The company conducts its operations through an umbrella partnership structure, Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. (Host LP), of which Host Inc. is the sole general partner. The primary difference between the two entities relates to approximately 1% of partnership interests in Host LP held by outside partners, which are treated as non-controlling interests on the consolidated balance sheets. The company was incorporated in 1927 and is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland.
As a REIT, Host Hotels & Resorts is required by U.S. tax law to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders annually in exchange for favorable tax treatment. The umbrella partnership REIT (UPREIT) structure used by the company is a common arrangement that allows property owners to contribute assets to the operating partnership in exchange for OP units, often enabling deferral of capital gains taxes compared to a direct sale.
