EXHIBIT 99
HOST MARRIOTT HOSPITALITY ANNOUNCES
$1 BILLION BOND REFINANCING
BETHESDA, MD, MAY 15, 1995--Host Marriott Hospitality, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Host Marriott Corporation, today announced that two of its
wholly-owned subsidiaries intend to issue $1 billion of debt in two concurrent
offerings. The company said that proceeds of the offerings would be used to
redeem all of its remaining bonds, and to pay off the outstanding balance
under Host Marriott's line of credit with Marriott International.
The issuers of the new debt will be HMH Properties, Inc. (Properties),
the owner of 70 of the company's 98 lodging properties, and Host Marriott
Travel Plazas, Inc. (HMTP), the operator/manager of the company's food,
beverage and merchandise concessions business. Properties and HMTP will issue
$600 million and $400 million, respectively, of senior notes, secured by the
stock of certain of their subsidiaries.
The company stated that the purpose of the offerings is to facilitate
the execution of Host Marriott's business strategy and lower its cost of
borrowing.
The securities being offered have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 as amended ("the Act"), and may not be offered or sold
in the United States absent registration under the Act or an applicable
exemption from registration requirements.
