                                  (Unaudited)

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Westin Hotels Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), and its subsidiary limited partnerships, The Westin St. Francis
Limited Partnership and The Westin Chicago Limited Partnership (the "Hotel
Partnerships"). The Westin St. Francis Limited Partnership owns and operates The
Westin St. Francis in downtown San Francisco, California, and The Westin Chicago
Limited Partnership owns and operates The Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago in
downtown Chicago, Illinois (individually a "Hotel", collectively the "Hotels").
All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

     The consolidated financial statements and related information for the
periods ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997 are unaudited. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of
these interim periods have been included. All such interim adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods ended March
31, 1998 and March 31, 1997 should not be regarded as indicative of the results
that may be expected for the full year.

                       WESTIN HOTELS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                               AND SUBSIDIARIES

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

     The primary market focus of The Westin St. Francis and The Westin Michigan
Avenue, Chicago (individually a "Hotel", collectively the "Hotels") is on
business travelers, tourists, conventions and other groups. Both The Westin St.
Francis and The Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago experience seasonal trends, with
the lowest occupancy levels occurring during the first quarter followed by
higher occupancies during the last three quarters of the year.

     Westin Realty Corp. is the sole general partner of Westin Hotels Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership"). St. Francis Hotel Corporation and 909 North
Michigan Avenue Corporation are the respective general partners of the
subsidiary limited partnerships, The Westin St. Francis Limited Partnership and
The Westin Chicago Limited Partnership (the "Hotel Partnerships"), that directly
own and operate the Hotels. As of January 2, 1998, each general partner
(individually a "General Partner," collectively the "General Partners") is a
subsidiary of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     REVPAR (Revenue per available room)         $116.08      $95.53
     Profit Margin as a Percentage
     of Revenues:
         Rooms                                      71.0%       69.9%

     EBITDA (In thousands)                       $ 7,245      $4,321
</TABLE>

     EBITDA is net earnings before interest expense, depreciation and
amortization, and minority interests. The General Partner considers EBITDA to be
a measure of the Partnership's operating performance due to the significance of
the Partnership's long-lived assets and because such data can be used to measure
the Partnership's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and pay
cash distributions. EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow from
operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and such
information should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow
from operations or any other performance measure prescribed by generally
accepted accounting principles.

Three Months Ended 1998 Compared With 1997
- ------------------------------------------

     Operating profits for the first quarter of 1998 increased $2.4 million over
the first quarter of 1997 to $4.2 million. These results were due primarily to
strong increases in REVPAR and food and beverage profits. EBITDA for the first
quarter of 1998 increased 67.7% to $7.2 million from $4.3 million in 1997.

     Consolidated rooms revenues for the first three months of 1998 increased
$3.6 million or 21.5% when compared to the same 1997 period. Consolidated REVPAR
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased 21.5% to $116.08 over the
same period in 1997 due to a 6.3 percentage point increase in occupancy to 71.2%
and a 10.8% increase in average room rate to $163.03. The Westin St. Francis
contributed $3.1 million to the increase in rooms revenue over the first quarter
of 1997 and its REVPAR of $143.32 was 25.7% greater due to increases in average
room rates and increases in room nights in both the group and transient business
segments, plus the addition of airline crew rooms in 1998. The Westin Michigan
Avenue, Chicago contributed $0.5 million to the increase in rooms revenue and
its REVPAR of $72.32 was 9.7% greater due primarily to increases in room rates.
Comparing the first quarter of 1998 to that of 1997, 

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
total occupancies at The Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago were up overall due to
the increase in airline crew rooms which offset the declines in occupancies in
both the group and transient segments. At The Westin St. Francis, the average
room rate for the first quarter of 1998 increased 10.6% over the first quarter
of 1997 to $177.63 and the occupancy rate increased from 70.9% to 80.7%. At the
Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago, the average room rate increased 8.4% to $129.21
and the occupancy rate increased slightly from 55.3% to 56.0%.

     Consolidated rooms profits for the first quarter of 1998 increased 23.4%,
or $2.7 million to $14.3 million, over the first quarter of 1997. The Westin St.
Francis' rooms profit of $10.9 million was $2.4 million greater than first
quarter 1997 due to increased REVPAR and effective cost controls. This
represents a 1.8 percentage point increase in The Westin St. Francis' rooms
profit margin over that of the same 1997 quarter. The Westin Michigan Avenue,
Chicago's rooms profit of $3.4 million was $0.3 million greater than first
quarter 1997 due to improved yield management. This represents a 1.0 percentage
point decrease in The Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago's rooms profit margin over
that of the same 1997 quarter.

     Consolidated food and beverage revenues of $8.6 million in the first three
months of 1998 represent a $1.1 million, or 15.2%, increase over those in the
first three months of 1997. The $0.9 million increase in food and beverage
revenues at The Westin St. Francis was a direct result of the increased banquet
business associated with the increase in group business. The Westin Michigan
Avenue, Chicago reported a $0.2 million increase, or 10.6% over the first three
months of 1997.

     Consolidated food and beverage profit of $2.1 million for the first quarter
of 1998 is a 31.3% increase over the same 1997 period. Both Hotels credit
decreased food and beverage and labor costs plus increased banquet business,
particularly at The Westin St. Francis, for this improvement.

     The Hotels' other operating departments reported consolidated operating
profit of $2.1 million for the period ended March 31, 1998, which was $0.5
million greater than that reported for the same 1997 period. Both Hotels
reported increased telephone and garage revenues and higher rental income from
subtenant leases.

     The most significant rise in operating expenses other than rooms, food and
beverage and other operating departments for the first quarter of 1998 was
depreciation and amortization, which increased $0.5 million over the first
quarter of 1997, due to the addition of property and equipment. Management fees
increased $0.4 million over the prior year's first quarter due to improved
Partnership Net Operating Cash Flow, as defined. Advertising and business
promotion expense was $0.4 million higher than the first quarter of 1997 due to
increased advertising and marketing fees. There were slight decreases in both
property maintenance and energy and local taxes and insurance. Interest expense
decreased $0.1 million over the first quarter of 1997 due to the mortgage note
restructuring which resulted in a decrease in the effective interest rate from
8.55% per annum to 8.06% per annum from the date of the agreement through
maturity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     As of March 31, 1998, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of
$11.3 million, a $4.4 million decrease from December 31, 1997. Total net cash
provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 1998 equaled $2.2
million.

     Pursuant to the Restructuring Agreement, the Partnership is required to
make quarterly deposits to the FF&E Reserve Accounts of 5.0% of gross revenue
through maturity of the Mortgage Loan in 2006 to fund capital improvements. The
Partnership deposited $2.5 million in the FF&E Accounts on April 3, 1998 and
$1.0 million on April 27, 1998, which exceeded the minimum deposit requirement.
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, The Westin St. Francis and The
Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago expended $0.9 million and $5.1 million,
respectively, from their FF&E Reserve Accounts. The combined balances of the
Hotels' FF&E Reserve Accounts are included in Restricted Cash on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.

     The Restructuring Agreement terms require that both Hotels make deposits
into Tax Escrow Accounts for payment of real and personal property taxes. The
combined balances of these Tax Escrow Accounts are included in cash and cash
equivalents under current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
     Capital expenditures in 1998 will total approximately $15.1 million. The
Westin St. Francis will spend approximately $7.0 million on capital improvements
in 1998. Approximately $1.1 million is to be spent on guest room renovations,
particularly the main building bathrooms; $3.0 million on food and beverage
facilities, particularly the conversion of Club Oz to a banquet room; $2.0
million on other areas, such as a health club, lobby carpet and stone work, and
the arcade men's room, and $0.9 million on the facade project. The facade
restoration is now scheduled to be completed in 1999. The Westin Michigan
Avenue, Chicago expects to spend $8.1 million for capital improvements during
1998. In 1998 the Hotel is scheduled to complete the extensive renovations to
the tower rooms, started in mid-December 1997, which is intended to completely
update and raise the caliber of the rooms. During 1998, the Hotel will commence
the conversion of 18 parlor suites into rentable guest rooms, which will
increase the guest room inventory, and replace all carpet, vinyl, paint and
light fixtures in all hallways, for a total cost of $7.1 million. In addition,
$0.3 million will be spent on partial roof replacement, $0.4 million on other
areas, such as updating EDP and engineering systems, and $0.3 million for
minibars and other food and beverage equipment. All capital projects have been
approved by the Lender.

     The Mortgage Loans, as restructured, provided for the suspension of
principal payments through December 1, 1998. Under the terms of the Mortgage
Loan, the Partnership is scheduled to make interest payments of $10.8 million in
1998.

     The General Partner is exploring alternative financing for the long-term
obligation to the General Partner through a second mortgage to obtain a reduced
interest rate.

     At this time, the General Partner anticipates that the cash flow from
operations and the corresponding contributions to the FF&E Reserve Accounts will
provide adequate funding for 1998 capital expenditures and interest payments on
the Mortgage Loans. In addition, barring any unforeseen adverse occurrence, the
General Partner anticipates that the Partnership will be in a position to
continue distributions to the limited partners at an annual level of $95.00 per
Unit in 1998 and thereafter. Future distributions will be based on available Net
Cash Flow and are dependent upon the Net Cash Flow generated by the Hotels and
the adequacy of cash reserves. The amount of each distribution will be
determined by the General Partner at the end of each calendar quarter according
to the terms of the Partnership agreement and will be distributed to the limited
partners within 75 days of the end of the quarter. A cash distribution of $23.75
per Unit was paid to the limited partners on March 13, 1998. The Board of
Directors of the General Partner has authorized a cash distribution of $23.75
per Unit to be paid to the limited partners on June 12, 1998.

     When the Partnership was formed in 1986, it was anticipated that a sale or
refinancing of the Hotels would be explored after eight years of Partnership
operations. Beginning with 1994, the Partnership agreement directed the General
Partner to actively review opportunities to sell or refinance the Hotel
properties on behalf of the Partnership. During 1994 the General Partner
emphasized restructuring the debt to stabilize both Hotels and to allow them to
remain competitive in their respective markets. The General Partner will review
the opportunities to sell or refinance the Hotel properties when it reasonably
believes that such action is in the best interest of the Partnership. As the
real estate market for upscale hotel properties continues to improve, the
General Partner will monitor the market conditions for appropriate opportunities
to sell or refinance the properties. By the end of 2001, the General Partner
must use its best efforts to sell or refinance the Hotel properties.
