INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



Board of Directors
CapStar Hotel Company:


We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Muben Hotels
(the  "Hotels") as of September 30, 1996, December 31, 1995 and 1994 and related
combined statements of operations, owners' capital and cash flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. 
These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Hotels'
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Muben
Hotels as of September 30, 1996, December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of
their combined operations and their combined cash flows for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

MUBEN HOTELS

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

September 30,1996, December 31,1995 and 1994

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) ORGANIZATION
         
    The combined financial statements consist of five hotels which are part of
    MBL Life Assurance Corporation.  This portfolio of hotels is known as the
    Muben Hotels (the "Hotels").  Two of the hotels are in California
    (Sacramento Hilton and Santa Barbara Inn); one is in Louisiana (Lafayette
    Hilton), one is in Colorado (Holiday Inn) and the other is in Washington,
    D.C. (Embassy Row).
    
    CapStar Hotel Company purchased the Hotels for approximately $68,400,000 on
    December 17, 1996.
    
    
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    
    BASIS OF PRESENTATION
    
    The accounts of the Hotels are included in the financial records of the MBL
    Life Assurance Corporation.  The accompanying combined financial statements
    include the accounts of the Hotels only, as if they were a separate legal
    entity, and have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.  
    
    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
    
    The Hotels consider all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity
    date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
    
    INVENTORIES
    
    Inventories, consisting primarily of china, tableware, linens and food and
    beverage items, are stated at cost, using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO")
    method of inventory valuation.
    
    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
    
    Property and equipment are reflected in the balance sheets at their fair
    value at the time of contribution.  Depreciation is computed on the
    buildings and building improvements using the straight-line method over
    their useful lives of 18 to 39 years.  Furniture, fixtures and equipment
    are depreciated using the straight-line method over five years.

(2) CONTINUED
    
    BAD DEBT EXPENSE
    
    Bad debt expense is accounted for using the allowance method.  Management
    reviews the aging of accounts receivable and other current information on
    debtors to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts.  Write-offs occur
    when management deems a receivable uncollectible.
    
    REVENUE
    
    Revenue is earned primarily through the operations of the Hotel and
    recognized when earned.
    
    INCOME TAXES
    
    The accounts of the Hotels are included in the financial records of the MBL
    Life Assurance Corporation and therefore the Hotels were not subject to
    income taxes on a separate basis.  For purposes of these financial
    statements, the Hotels have calculated their tax provision on the separate
    return basis to approximate tax expense as if they were a separate legal
    entity.
    
    USE OF ESTIMATES
    
    Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions to prepare these
    combined financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
    accounting principles.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
    
    
(3) RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
    
    All of the Hotels, except for Embassy Row, are managed by CapStar Hotel
    Company.  The hotels managed by CapStar Hotel Company paid base management
    fees based on gross revenue plus incentive management fees if the hotels'
    operating results exceeded levels specified in the management contract. 
    These four hotels incurred management fees of $563,455 in 1996; $926,737 in
    1995; $929,013 in 1994; and $1,008,719 in 1993.
    
    CapStar Hotel Company began managing Embassy Row on September 25, 1996.

(4) INCOME TAXES
         
    The Hotels' income tax expense is comprised of the following:

                                          1996            1995          1994
                                       ________________________________________

    Federal                            $1,151,118        706,741         62,653
    State and local                       338,550        207,856         18,427
                                       ________________________________________
                                       $1,489,668        914,597         81,080
                                       ________________________________________

    The "expected" tax expense, based on the U.S. federal statutory rate of 
    34% for each of the periods above, differs from the actual tax expense, 
    calculated at an effective rate of 40%, due to state and local taxes, net 
    of federal tax benefit.


    The Hotels' deferred tax assets and liabilities are insignificant to these
    financial statements and are therefore not presented.

         acquired five hotels with 1,121 rooms, known as the MUBEN hotels, 
         from MBL  Life Assurance Corporation.  The aggregate purchase price 
         for the MUBEN hotels was $69.4 million, and was paid through 
         external borrowings.

         presented as if the aforementioned transaction had been consummated on
         September 30, 1996. The unaudited pro forma Consolidated Statements 
         of Operations are presented as if the aforementioned transaction had 
         been consummated at the beginning of the respective periods.  In

         of the aforementioned transaction have been made.

         Statements of Operations are not necessarily indicative of what the 
         Company's actual financial position or operating results would have

         Adjustments:
         
         (A)  Reflects the Company's historical consolidated statements of
              operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and the
              year ended December 31, 1995.

         (B)  Pro forma adjustments for the purchase of the MUBEN hotels
              reflect the historical operating activity of the properties 
              acquired except that:

              (1)  interest expense reflects the expense the Company expects 
                   to incur on the funds borrowed to acquire the properties 
                   ($4,463 of interest expense for the nine months 
                   ended September 30, 1996 and $6,203 for the year ended 
                   December 31, 1995);
              (2)  depreciation expense is based on the new accounting basis 
                   for the properties acquired;
              (3)  management fee income earned by the Company for managing 
                   four of the five hotels has been eliminated ($563 in 1996 
                   and $926 in 1995); and 
              (4)  income tax expense has been adjusted for (1), (2), and 
                   (3) above and to include taxes on historical income.

         (C)  Calculated using weighted average number of shares of 
              12,754,321. Historical earnings per share is calculated 
              on earnings since August 20, 1996, the date of the initial 
              public offering.

    (c)  Exhibits.

         There are no exhibits required to be filed with this amendment to 
         the report on Form 8-K.
