                    7 5/8% REDEEMABLE SENIOR NOTES DUE 2007
                        WHICH HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
                           THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933
 
     THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK
CITY TIME, ON             , 1998 (AS SUCH DATE MAY BE EXTENDED, BUT SHALL NOT BE
LATER THAN             , 1998, THE "EXPIRATION DATE").
 
     FelCor Suites Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership ("FelCor
LP"), hereby offers (the "Exchange Offer"), upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Prospectus and the accompanying letter of
transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"), to exchange (i) $1,000 in principal
amount of its 7 3/8% Redeemable Senior Notes due 2004 (the "New 7 3/8% Notes")
for each $1,000 in principal amount of its outstanding 7 3/8% Redeemable Senior
Notes due 2004 (the "Old 7 3/8% Notes") and (ii) $1,000 in principal amount of
its 7 5/8% Redeemable Senior Notes due 2007 (the "New 7 5/8% Notes") for each
$1,000 in principal amount of its outstanding 7 5/8% Redeemable Senior Notes due
2007 (the "Old 7 5/8% Notes") (the Old 7 3/8% Notes and Old 7 5/8% Notes are
collectively referred to herein as the "Old Notes"; the New 7 3/8% Notes and the
New 7 5/8% Notes are collectively referred to herein as the "New Notes"; the Old
Notes and the New Notes are collectively referred to herein as the "Notes").
Aggregate principal amounts of $175,000,000 of Old 7 3/8% Notes and $125,000,000
of Old 7 5/8% Notes are outstanding. At September 30, 1997, after giving effect
to the Private Placement (as defined herein) and the application of the net
proceeds therefrom, FelCor LP and the Guarantors (as defined herein) would have
had $428 million in outstanding Indebtedness (as defined herein), none of which
was subordinate to the Notes, including $12 million in outstanding secured
Indebtedness, to which the Notes are effectively subordinate. See "The Exchange
Offer" and "Description of the Notes and Guarantees."
 
     Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account pursuant to
the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in
connection with any resale of such New Notes. The Letter of Transmittal states
that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will
not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). This Prospectus, as
it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a
broker-dealer in connection with resales of New Notes received in exchange for
Old Notes where such Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities. FelCor LP has agreed that,
starting on the Expiration Date and ending on the close of business one year
after the Expiration Date, it will make this Prospectus available to any
broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See "Plan of
Distribution."
 
     FelCor LP will accept for exchange any and all Old Notes that are validly
tendered prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Tenders
of Old Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the Expiration Date. The Exchange Offer is not conditioned upon any
minimum principal amount of the Old Notes being tendered for exchange. The
Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to the terms and provisions of the
Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of September 26, 1997
 
                                                        (continued on next page)

  SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 16 HEREIN FOR A DISCUSSION OF MATERIAL
  RISKS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BY HOLDERS IN EVALUATING THE EXCHANGE OFFER.
   THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
 EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES
   AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A
                               CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
                             ---------------------
 
   
                The date of this Prospectus is February   , 1998
    
<PAGE>   3
 
(the "Registration Rights Agreement"), among FelCor LP, FelCor Suite Hotels,
Inc., a Maryland corporation ("FelCor"), and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated,
NationsBanc Capital Markets, Inc. and Salomon Brothers Inc (the "Initial
Purchasers"). Each series of the Old Notes may be tendered only in multiples of
$1,000. See "The Exchange Offer."
 
     The Old Notes were issued in a transaction (the "Private Placement")
pursuant to which FelCor LP issued the Old Notes to the Initial Purchasers on
October 1, 1997 pursuant to a Placement Agreement, dated September 26, 1997 (the
"Placement Agreement"), among FelCor LP, FelCor and the Initial Purchasers. The
Initial Purchasers subsequently resold the Old Notes in reliance on Rule 144A
under the Securities Act. FelCor LP, FelCor and the Initial Purchasers also
entered into the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which FelCor LP
granted certain registration rights for the benefit of the holders of the Old
Notes. The Exchange Offer is intended to satisfy certain of FelCor LP's
obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Old
Notes. See "The Exchange Offer -- Purpose and Effect."
 
   
     The Old Notes were, and the New Notes will be, issued under the Indenture,
dated as of October 1, 1997 (the "Indenture"), among FelCor LP, FelCor, and
certain direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of FelCor LP that are
obligors on other Indebtedness (as defined herein) of FelCor or FelCor LP which
is pari passu with or subordinated to the Notes (the "Subsidiary Guarantors")
and SunTrust Bank, Atlanta, as trustee (in such capacity, the "Trustee"). The
form and terms of each series of the New Notes will be identical in all material
respects to the form and terms of the corresponding series of the Old Notes,
except that (i) the New Notes have been registered under the Securities Act and,
therefore, will not bear legends restricting the transfer thereof, and (ii)
holders of New Notes will not be, and upon the consummation of the Exchange
Offer, holders of Old Notes will no longer be, entitled to any rights under the
Registration Rights Agreement intended for the holders of unregistered
securities. See "The Exchange Offer -- Termination of Certain Rights" and
"Description of the Notes and Guarantees."
    
 
   
     The New Notes will be unsecured Senior Indebtedness (as defined herein) of
FelCor LP, will rank pari passu in right of payment to existing and future
unsecured Senior Indebtedness of FelCor LP and will rank senior in right of
payment to future subordinated Indebtedness of FelCor LP. The New Notes will be
fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by FelCor and
each of the Subsidiary Guarantors (collectively, the "Guarantors").
    
 
     Based on existing interpretations of the Securities Act by the Staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") set forth in "no-action"
letters issued to third parties, FelCor LP believes that New Notes issued
pursuant to the Exchange Offer to any holder of Old Notes in exchange for Old
Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by such holder
(other than a broker-dealer who purchased Old Notes directly from FelCor LP for
resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or any other available
exemption under the Securities Act) without compliance with the registration and
prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such holder
is not an affiliate of FelCor LP, is acquiring the New Notes in the ordinary
course of business and is not participating, and has no arrangement or
understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the New
Notes. Holders wishing to accept the Exchange Offer must represent to FelCor LP,
as required by the Registration Rights Agreement, that such conditions have been
met. In addition, if such holder is not a broker-dealer, it must represent that
it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the
New Notes. Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account
pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes. See "The Exchange
Offer -- Resales of the New Notes." This Prospectus, as it may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection
with resales of New Notes received in exchange for Old Notes where such Old
Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other
trading activities.
 
     There has previously been only a limited secondary market, and no public
market, for the Old Notes. In addition, the Initial Purchasers have advised the
Company that they currently intend to make a market in the New Notes; however,
the Initial Purchasers are not obligated to do so and any market making
activities may be discontinued by the Initial Purchasers at any time. Prior to
the Exchange Offer, there has been no public trading market for the New Notes.
Therefore, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for any of
the Notes will develop. If such a trading market develops for any of the Notes,
future trading prices will depend on many factors, including, among other
things, prevailing interest rates, FelCor LP's results of operations and the
market for similar securities. Depending on such factors, the Notes may trade at
a discount from their face value. See "Risk Factors -- Absence of Public
Market."
 
     FelCor LP will not receive any proceeds from this Exchange Offer. Pursuant
to the Registration Rights Agreement, FelCor LP will bear certain registration
expenses.
 
     THE EXCHANGE OFFER IS NOT BEING MADE TO, NOR WILL FELCOR LP ACCEPT
SURRENDERS FOR EXCHANGE FROM, HOLDERS OF OLD NOTES IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH
THE EXCHANGE OFFER OR THE ACCEPTANCE THEREOF WOULD NOT BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.

     The following is a summary of the material terms of the offering and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction
with, the more detailed information and the consolidated financial statements of
FelCor LP and FelCor, including the notes thereto, contained elsewhere in this
Prospectus, as well as the information appearing in the documents incorporated
by reference herein. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to the "Company"
are to FelCor, FelCor LP and their respective subsidiaries, collectively.
Certain defined terms used herein are set forth in a "Glossary" beginning on
page A-1 of this Prospectus.
    
 
     Market data and certain other industry data and forecasts used throughout
this Prospectus were obtained from internal surveys, market research, publicly
available information and industry publications. Industry publications generally
state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources
believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such
information is not guaranteed. Similarly, internal surveys, industry data and
forecasts and market research, while believed to be reliable, have not been
independently verified, and none of FelCor LP, or the Guarantors makes any
representation as to the accuracy of such information.
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
     At September 30, 1997, FelCor LP and its subsidiaries held the Company's
interest in 71 full-service, upscale hotels ("Current Hotels"). The sole general
partner of FelCor LP is FelCor, a self-administered equity real estate
investment trust ("REIT") that, at September 30, 1997, owned an approximate
92.6% general partner interest in FelCor LP. The Current Hotels consist of 51
Embassy Suites(R) hotels, one hotel in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, that was
converted by year end to an Embassy Suites hotel, 12 Doubletree Guest Suites(R)
hotels, six Sheraton(R) hotels, and one Hilton Suites(R) hotel. The Current
Hotels contain an aggregate of 17,486 suites/rooms, and are located in 26
states. Fifty of the Current Hotels are managed by a subsidiary of Promus Hotel
Corporation ("Promus"), which is the largest operator of full-service, all-suite
hotels in the United States.
 
   
     Since its formation, through a merger with entities organized in 1991, and
FelCor's initial public offering ("IPO") in July 1994, the Company has acquired
interests in 65 full-service, upscale hotels containing an aggregate of 16,007
suites/rooms. Since the IPO, FelCor has completed five public offerings of its
capital stock, raising gross proceeds of more than $1 billion, including one
public offering of convertible preferred stock that raised $151.3 million in
gross proceeds. The Company seeks to increase operating cash flow and enhance
its value through both internal growth and acquisitions, while maintaining a
conservative capital structure. At September 30, 1997, the Company had a total
market capitalization in excess of $2 billion and a debt to total market
capitalization ratio of 19%. Additionally, after giving effect to the Private
Placement and application of the proceeds therefrom, the Company would have had
total unencumbered assets of $1.6 billion and total Indebtedness of $428 million
(of which only $12 million would have been secured Indebtedness), representing
approximately 26% of its Adjusted Total Assets (as defined herein) at such date.
    
 
     The Company's senior management includes co-founders Hervey A. Feldman,
Chairman of the Board, and Thomas J. Corcoran, Jr., President and Chief
Executive Officer. Mr. Feldman has been engaged in the hotel business for
approximately 30 years, including serving as the founding President and Chief
Executive Officer of Embassy Suites (the predecessor of Promus) from January
1983 to May 1990 and as its Chairman of the Board from June 1990 until January
1992. Mr. Corcoran has been engaged in the hotel and restaurant business since
1979, with experience in the development, financing and acquisition of hotel and
restaurant properties. Based on the closing price of the common stock of FelCor
("Common Stock") on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on September 30, 1997,
Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran, together with other executive officers and
directors of the Company, owned collectively more than $40 million of the
aggregate outstanding Common Stock and units of limited partner interest in
FelCor LP ("Units"). See "Management -- Security Ownership of Management."
 
   
     To enable FelCor to satisfy certain requirements for qualification as a
REIT, neither FelCor nor FelCor LP can operate the hotels in which they invest.
Accordingly, FelCor LP leases the Current Hotels (and expects to lease any
additional hotels) to DJONT Operations, L.L.C., or a subsidiary thereof
("Lessee"), pursuant to leases providing for the payment of rent based primarily
upon the suite revenues of
    
                                        1
<PAGE>   9
 
   
such hotels ("Percentage Leases"). The Lessee pays rent to FelCor LP and its
subsidiaries under the Percentage Leases and, in addition, enters into franchise
agreements (where applicable) and engages independent, unaffiliated third party
professional managers to operate the hotels. Under the Percentage Leases, the
Lessee is required to pay all franchise fees, management fees and other
operating expenses of the hotels leased by it. All of the voting interests in
the Lessee (constituting a 50% equity interest) are owned beneficially by
Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran, and the non-voting interests (constituting the
remaining 50% equity interest) are owned beneficially by the children of Charles
N. Mathewson, a major initial investor in the Company and a director of FelCor.
    
 
   
     The following diagram illustrates the corporate structure of FelCor, FelCor
LP and the six Subsidiary Guarantors, and the relationship among them, the
Lessee and the unrelated third party franchisors and managers. None of the three
Subsidiary Guarantors that is a limited liability company owns directly any
hotel properties or engages in any business other than the ownership of
partnership and membership interests in other entities. The three Subsidiary
Guarantors that are limited partnerships own directly an aggregate of 18 of the
Current Hotels and own general partner interests in a partnership that owns
directly one additional hotel in which the Company has an interest. FelCor LP
and certain of the Subsidiary Guarantors have additional subsidiaries not shown
in the diagram below, none of which subsidiaries is material to FelCor LP.
Executive officers of FelCor constitute all of the managers and officers of such
Subsidiary Guarantors and serve in such capacities without additional
compensation. The discussion herein of the business and properties of the
Company include, on a combined basis, all of the business and properties of the
Subsidiary Guarantors.

                                  THE INDUSTRY
 
     The United States hotel industry has experienced significant improvement in
the past five years. According to Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. Hospitality
Directions, after a period of extended unprofitability in the late 1980's and
early 1990's, lodging industry profit has increased every year from 1992 through
1996. The industry downturn in the late 1980's resulted primarily from an
increase in the supply of new hotel rooms that significantly outpaced growth in
room demand. The percentage growth in room demand exceeded percentage growth in
new room supply from 1992 through 1996. As a result, according to Smith Travel
Research, for All Upscale U.S. Hotels (including both Upscale and Upper Upscale
Hotels), occupancy increased from 61.7% in 1991 to 68.4% in 1996, and ADR
increased from $65.89 in 1991 to $85.54 in 1996.
 
     Smith Travel Research classifies the hotel industry into six distinct
categories: Budget, Economy, Midscale, Midscale with Food & Beverage, Upscale
and Upper Upscale. All of the Company's properties are operated under brands
that are included in the Upper Upscale category. This category has experienced
relatively low levels of new construction.
 
                               BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
OVERVIEW
 
     The Company's primary business objectives are to (i) focus on selection of
sound hotel investments, (ii) add value to its hotels through active asset
management and the strategic investment of capital, and (iii) build solid
working relationships with, and be the "owner-of-choice" for, selected premium,
full-service hotel brand owners/managers who are willing to commit to the
on-going success of the hotels they license/ manage for the Company. The Company
seeks to increase operating cash flow and enhance its value through both
internal growth and acquisitions. The Company's internal growth strategy is to
utilize its asset management expertise to improve the quality of its hotels by
renovating, upgrading and repositioning, thereby improving the revenue
performance of the hotels, and to participate, through the Percentage Leases, in
any growth in revenues at its hotels. The Company's acquisition growth strategy
remains focused primarily upon the purchase of additional existing and a limited
number of newly developed hotels that meet the Company's investment criteria.
 
STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS
 
     The Company currently maintains strategic brand owner/manager relationships
with Promus, Doubletree Hotels Corporation ("Doubletree") and ITT Sheraton
Corporation ("Sheraton"). Promus and Doubletree have recently completed the
merger of their companies. The combined company will constitute the lodging
industry's third largest entity based on annual revenue. The Company believes
that this merger will increase the Company's flexibility in branding its
all-suite hotels to capitalize on local market conditions and brand
representation. ITT Corporation, the parent of ITT Sheraton Corporation, has
announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to merge with Starwood
Lodging.
 
     -  Promus Hotel Corporation is the largest operator of full-service,
        all-suite hotels in the United States. Promus is also the owner of the
        Embassy Suites brand and the manager of 50 of the Company's Current
        Hotels. In addition, based on the closing price of the Common Stock on
        the NYSE on September 30, 1997, Promus owned more than $55 million of
        the aggregate Common Stock of FelCor and Units of FelCor LP. The
        relationship with Promus has provided the foundation for the Company's
        historical growth.
 
     -  Doubletree Hotels Corporation is the owner of the nation's second
        largest full-service, all-suite hotel brand, Doubletree Guest Suites.
        Doubletree provides hotel owners with management and franchise services
        under its Doubletree Hotels(R), Doubletree Guest Suites, Club Hotels by
        Doubletree(R), Red Lion Hotels(R) and other brands, as well as
        management services for other non-Doubletree brand hotels. Doubletree is
        the manager of all of the 12 Current Hotels operated under the
        Doubletree Guest Suites brand.
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   11
 
     -  ITT Sheraton Corporation is the owner of the Sheraton brand and one of
        the world's largest hotel companies, with more than 430 hotels in over
        60 countries. This newest strategic alliance, coupled with the purchase
        of six Sheraton hotels this year (including a total of four non-suite
        hotels), provided the Company with its initial entry into the upscale,
        full-service, non-suite hotel market and should provide the Company with
        opportunities for future growth.
 
     The strength of the Company's strategic relationships with the foregoing
brand owners/managers are evidenced by their (i) significant equity investments
in 15 of the Company's hotels, (ii) agreements to make subordinated loans to the
Lessee (in support of the Lessee's obligations under certain Percentage Leases
with respect to certain hotels), (iii) subordination of certain customary fees
to the Lessee's obligations under applicable Percentage Leases, (iv) grants of
certain performance-based termination rights by the managers to the Lessees, and
(v) in one case, guarantee of a $25 million loan to the Company.
 
GROWTH STRATEGY
 
   
     Beginning with the acquisition of the 18 Crown Sterling Suites(R) hotels
("CSS Hotels"), from the fourth quarter of 1995 through September 30, 1997, the
Company has acquired interests in 58 hotels containing an aggregate of 14,587
suites/rooms for approximately $1.4 billion, resulting in an increase in its
portfolio of suites/rooms by more than 500%. The Company converted the 18 CSS
Hotels to Embassy Suites hotels (16 hotels) and Doubletree Guest Suites hotels
(two hotels), investing over $50 million in the complete renovation and upgrade
of such hotels. As a consequence, revenue per available room/suite ("RevPAR") of
the CSS Hotels for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased
approximately 22.0% over the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Additionally,
for the 13 original hotels acquired by the Company prior to the acquisition of
the CSS Hotels, the Company achieved a 6.6% increase in RevPAR for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 over the comparable period in 1996, from $79.39
to $84.61.
    
 
     The Company intends to continue to focus its acquisition strategy with
respect to individual hotels primarily upon the purchase of full-service,
upscale hotels (both all-suite and non-suite) that will fit within one of the
Company's premium brand owner/manager alliances with Promus, Doubletree and
Sheraton. The Company believes that it has benefitted, and will continue to
benefit, from its strong relationships with its brand owner/managers. The
Company also may construct additional suites/rooms and meeting space at certain
of its hotels if market and other conditions warrant.
 
CAPITAL STRATEGY
 
   
     The Company intends to maintain a conservative capital structure (as
evidenced by the current debt limitation policy of the Board of Directors
described below) that enhances its access to the capital markets on favorable
terms and promotes future earnings growth. Since the IPO, FelCor has completed
five public offerings of its capital stock, raising gross proceeds of more than
$1 billion, including one public offering of convertible preferred stock that
raised $151.3 million in gross proceeds. In addition, FelCor has reduced its
payout ratio (distributions as a percentage of Funds From Operations) from 80%
for the year ended December 31, 1995 to 68% for the twelve month period ended
September 30, 1997.
    
 
   
     The Board of Directors of FelCor ("Board of Directors") has adopted a
policy which limits the Company's indebtedness to not more than 40% of its
investment in hotel assets, at cost. This policy may be modified by the Board of
Directors at any time. At September 30, 1997, the Company had a $550 million
unsecured revolving line of credit ("Line of Credit"), under which it had
borrowed $296 million, an unsecured term loan of $25 million (guaranteed by
Promus) ("Renovation Loan"), the proceeds of which were used to finance the cost
of renovations to the CSS Hotels, and approximately $1 million of other
unsecured indebtedness. The Company also had, at September 30, 1997, an $85
million secured term loan ("Term Loan") that has been repaid from the proceeds
of the Private Placement, and an additional $12 million in secured debt. At
September 30, 1997, after giving effect to the Private Placement and the
application of the proceeds therefrom, the total Indebtedness of the Company
would have been 26% of Adjusted Total Assets and its ratio of EBITDA to interest
paid for the 12 months ended September 30, 1997 would have been 4.8 to 1. The
Company believes that its current debt limitation policy, its preference for
unsecured debt and its
    
 
                                        4
<PAGE>   12
 
success in raising equity capital for expansion, demonstrate the Company's
commitment to the maintenance of a conservative but flexible capital structure.
 
                                HOTEL PORTFOLIO
 
CURRENT HOTELS
 
   
     FelCor was organized as a REIT in July 1994. At such time, the Company
acquired six Embassy Suites hotels (the "Initial Hotels") through a merger with
entities organized in 1991. Subsequent to its formation, the Company has
completed the acquisition of interests in 65 additional hotels through September
30, 1997. Of the Current Hotels, the Company owns 100% equity interests in 53
hotels, a 97% interest in a partnership that owns one hotel, a 90% interest in
partnerships that own three hotels and a 50% interest in separate partnerships
that own 14 hotels. The following table provides certain information regarding
the Current Hotels:

RECENT ACQUISITIONS
 
     During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company acquired two additional
hotels with an aggregate of 447 suites and rooms for approximately $42.3
million. One is a traditional 309-room Sheraton hotel in Burlington, Vermont,
which includes a conference center offering more than 30,000 square feet of
meeting space. The other is a 138-suite Doubletree Guest Suites hotel in Dayton,
Ohio. The addition of these hotels brings the Company's total hotel portfolio to
73 hotels with an aggregate of 17,933 suites and rooms located in 27 states.
 
OTHER POTENTIAL HOTEL TRANSACTIONS
 
     The Company is in various stages of evaluation and negotiation with respect
to a number of other available hotel transactions which, if the Company were to
elect to pursue all of such transactions, could require an additional investment
by the Company of more than $300 million. Due to the preliminary status of such
negotiations and evaluations, no assurance can be given that the Company will
elect to pursue, or succeed in the completion of, any of such transactions.

have been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, will not bear
legends restricting the transfer thereof, and (ii) holders of the New Notes will
not be, and upon consummation of the Exchange Offer, holders of the Old Notes
will no longer be, entitled to any rights under the Registration Rights
Agreement intended for the holders of unregistered securities, except in limited
circumstances. See "The Exchange Offer -- Termination of Certain Rights." The
Exchange Offer shall be deemed consummated upon the occurrence of the delivery
by FelCor LP to the Registrar under the Indenture of the New Notes in the same
aggregate principal amount and maturities as the aggregate principal amount and
maturities of Old Notes that are duly tendered by holders thereof pursuant to
the Exchange Offer. See "The Exchange Offer -- Termination of Certain Rights,"
"-- Procedures for Tendering Old Notes" and "Description of the Notes and
Guarantees."

Change of Control.............   Upon a Change of Control (as defined herein),
                                 each holder of the New Notes will have the
                                 right to require FelCor LP to purchase such
                                 holder's New Notes at a price equal to 101% of
                                 the principal amount thereof plus accrued

                                 There can be no assurance that FelCor LP will
                                 have the financial resources necessary to
                                 purchase the New Notes upon a Change of
                                 Control. See "Description of the Notes and
                                 Guarantees -- Repurchase of Notes upon a Change
                                 of Control."
 
Ranking.......................   The Indebtedness evidenced by the New Notes
                                 will be unsecured, senior obligations of FelCor
                                 LP, and will rank pari passu in right of
                                 payment with all other unsecured Senior
                                 Indebtedness thereof, including, without
                                 limitation, the obligations of FelCor LP under
                                 the Line of Credit. As unsecured Senior
                                 Indebtedness of FelCor LP and the Guarantors,
                                 the New Notes will be effectively subordinated
                                 to all secured Indebtedness thereof and to the
                                 Indebtedness of the non-guarantor Subsidiaries.
                                 As of September 30, 1997, after giving effect
                                 to the Private Placement and the applica-

                                 tion of the proceeds therefrom, the total
                                 Indebtedness of FelCor LP and the Guarantors
                                 would have been approximately $428 million,
                                 including $12 million of secured Indebtedness.
                                 Although FelCor LP and the Guarantors have no
                                 immediate plans to incur additional
                                 Indebtedness (other than pursuant to the Line
                                 of Credit or in connection with hotel
                                 acquisitions), it is likely they will do so in
                                 the future. The non-guarantor Subsidiaries had
                                 no Indebtedness at September 30, 1997 and have
                                 no present intention to incur any Indebtedness.
                                 There is currently no outstanding indebtedness
                                 of FelCor LP or the Guarantors that is
                                 subordinated in right of payment to the New
                                 Notes. See "Capitalization" and "Description of
                                 Certain Indebtedness."
 
   
Guarantees....................   All payments with respect to the New Notes will
                                 be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed
                                 by FelCor and by certain wholly owned
                                 Subsidiaries of FelCor LP that are obligors on
                                 other Indebtedness of FelCor or FelCor LP which
                                 is pari passu with or subordinated to the New
                                 Notes. At present, the Subsidiary Guarantors
                                 consist of FelCor/CSS Hotels, L.L.C.,
                                 FelCor/LAX Hotels, L.L.C., FelCor Eight Hotels,
                                 L.L.C., FelCor CSS Holdings, L.P., FelCor/St.
                                 Paul Holdings, L.P. and FelCor/LAX Holdings,
                                 L.P., each of which is a guarantor with respect
                                 to the Line of Credit. See "Description of the
                                 Notes and Guarantees -- Guarantees."
    
 
Limitations on Incurrence of
  Indebtedness................   The Indenture contains certain covenants
                                 limiting the incurrence of Indebtedness:
 
                                 (1) FelCor LP, FelCor and the Restricted
                                     Subsidiaries (as defined herein) will not
                                     incur any Indebtedness if, after giving
                                     effect thereto, the aggregate principal
                                     amount of their outstanding Indebtedness is
                                     greater than 60% of Adjusted Total Assets
                                     (as defined herein). After giving effect to
                                     the application of the proceeds of the
                                     Private Placement, Indebtedness of FelCor
                                     LP, FelCor and the Restricted Subsidiaries
                                     would have been approximately 26% of
                                     Adjusted Total Assets as of September 30,
                                     1997.
 
                                 (2) FelCor LP, FelCor and the Restricted
                                     Subsidiaries will not incur any Secured
                                     Debt or Subsidiary Debt (each as defined
                                     herein) if, after giving effect thereto,
                                     the aggregate principal amount of their
                                     outstanding Secured Debt and Subsidiary
                                     Debt is greater than 40% of their Adjusted
                                     Total Assets. After giving effect to the
                                     application of the proceeds of the Private
                                     Placement, the Secured Debt and Subsidiary
                                     Debt of FelCor LP, FelCor and the
                                     Restricted Subsidiaries would have been
                                     less than 1% of the Adjusted Total Assets
                                     as of September 30, 1997.
 
                                 (3) FelCor LP, FelCor and the Restricted
                                     Subsidiaries will not incur any
                                     Indebtedness if, after giving effect to the
                                     incurrence of such Indebtedness, their
                                     Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined herein)
                                     would be less than 2.0 to 1. After giving
                                     effect to the application of the proceeds
                                     of the Private Placement, their

<PAGE>   18
 
                                     Interest Coverage Ratio would have been 4.8
                                     to 1 for the 12 months ended September 30,
                                     1997.
 
                                 (4) FelCor LP, FelCor and the Restricted
                                     Subsidiaries will maintain Total
                                     Unencumbered Assets (as defined herein) of
                                     not less than 150% of the aggregate
                                     outstanding principal amount of their
                                     Unsecured Indebtedness (as defined herein)
                                     on a consolidated basis. After giving
                                     effect to the application of the proceeds
                                     of the Private Placement, Total
                                     Unencumbered Assets would have been 398% of
                                     such Unsecured Indebtedness as of September
                                     30, 1997.
 
Certain Other Covenants.......   The Indenture contains certain other covenants
                                 for the benefit of the holders of the Notes
                                 which, among other things, restrict the ability
                                 of FelCor LP, FelCor and the Restricted
                                 Subsidiaries to: make certain distributions,
                                 investments and other restricted payments;
                                 create restrictions on the ability of
                                 Restricted Subsidiaries to make certain
                                 payments; issue or sell stock of Restricted
                                 Subsidiaries; enter into transactions with
                                 affiliates; create liens; sell assets; enter
                                 into certain sale-leaseback transactions; and,
                                 with respect to FelCor LP and FelCor,
                                 consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially
                                 all of their assets. See "Description of the
                                 Notes and Guarantees -- Covenants." However, in
                                 the event, and only for so long as, the Notes
                                 are rated Investment Grade (as defined herein)
                                 the covenants described under "Description of
                                 the Notes and

                                 Liens," "-- Limitation on Sale-Leaseback
                                 Transactions," "-- Limitation on Restricted
                                 Payments," "-- Limitation on Dividend and other
                                 Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted

                                 will be inapplicable.
 
Absence of a Public Market for
the New Notes.................   The New Notes are a new issue of securities
                                 with no established trading market.
                                 Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to
                                 the development or liquidity of any market for
                                 the New Notes. The Initial Purchasers have
                                 advised FelCor LP that they currently intend to
                                 make a market in the New Notes. However, the
                                 Initial Purchasers are not obligated to do so,
                                 and any market making with respect to the New
                                 Notes may be discontinued at any time without
                                 notice. FelCor LP does not intend to apply for
                                 listing of the New Notes on any securities
                                 exchange.

             SUMMARY HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
     The following tables set forth summary historical and pro forma
consolidated financial information for FelCor LP and FelCor. The following
information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements and notes thereto for FelCor LP and FelCor and Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which
are included herein. In the opinion of management, the financial data as of
September 30, 1996 and 1997 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
1997 include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the information set
forth therein.
 
     The pro forma operations and other data for the year ended December 31,
1996 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 have been prepared as if
the purchase of each of the hotels acquired prior to September 30, 1997, the
Series A Preferred Stock offering in the second quarter of 1996, the Common
Stock offerings in the first and second quarters of 1997, and the $300 million
senior unsecured debt placement had been consummated on January 1, 1996. The pro
forma balance sheet data has been prepared as if the $300 million senior
unsecured debt placement had been consummated on September 30, 1997. The pro
forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual
financial position and results of operations of FelCor LP or FelCor would have
been as of and for the periods indicated, nor does it purport to represent the
future financial position and results of operations of FelCor LP or FelCor.

(1) The pro forma financial information does not purport to represent what the
    financial position or results of operations of FelCor LP or FelCor actually
    would have been if the purchases of each of the hotels acquired in 1996 and
    1997 (through September 30, 1997), the Series A Preferred Stock offering,
    the Common Stock offerings in the first and second quarters of 1997, and the
    $300 million in long term senior unsecured debt had, in fact, occurred on
    such dates, or to project their financial position or results of operations
    at any future date or for any future period.
 
(2) Represents lease payments from the Lessee to FelCor LP calculated on a pro
    forma basis by applying the contractual or anticipated rent provisions of
    the Percentage Leases to the historical suite and food and beverage revenues
    of the Current Hotels.
 
   
(3) The White Paper on Funds from Operations approved by the Board of Governors
    of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") in
    March 1995 defines Funds from Operations as net income (loss) (computed in
    accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring
    and sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and
    amortization and after comparable adjustments for the Company's portion of
    these items related to unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The
    Company believes that Funds from Operations is helpful to investors as a
    measure of the performance of an equity REIT because, along with cash flow
    from operating activities, financing
    
                                       13

    activities and investing activities, it provides investors with an
    indication of the ability of the Company to incur and service debt, to make
    capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs. The Company computes
    Funds from Operations in accordance with standards established by NAREIT
    which may not be comparable to Funds from Operations reported by other REITs
    that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition
    or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the
    Company. Funds from Operations does not represent cash generated from
    operating activities determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an
    alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an
    indication of the Company's financial performance or to cash flow from
    operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of
    the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the
    Company's cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions.
    Funds from Operations may include funds that may not be available for
    management's discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve
    funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions, and other
    commitments and uncertainties.
 
     The computation of Funds from Operations for FelCor LP and FelCor yields
     the same results. The following is a reconciliation between net income and
     Funds from Operations.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     An investment in the Notes involves a significant degree of risk. In
addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus, prospective
investors should carefully consider the following factors in evaluating the
Exchange Offer.
 
RISKS OF LEVERAGE; FLOATING RATE DEBT; INABILITY TO RETAIN EARNINGS
 
   
     At September 30, 1997, after giving effect to the $300 million senior
unsecured debt placement and the application of the proceeds therefrom, the
Company's outstanding Indebtedness would have been approximately $428 million,
including approximately $91 million under the Line of Credit which bears
interest at floating rates. Since the Company intends to continue to acquire
additional hotels, and FelCor must distribute annually at least 95% of its
taxable net income to maintain its REIT status, the Company may borrow
additional funds to make investments or distributions. The Board of Directors
has the discretion to permit the Company to incur debt, subject to the current
policy of the Board of Directors limiting indebtedness to not more than 40% of
the Company's investment in hotel properties, at cost, on a consolidated basis,
after giving effect to the Company's use of proceeds from any indebtedness. The
Company has obtained the Line of Credit to provide, as necessary, funds for
investments in additional hotel properties, working capital and cash to make
distributions. The Company's use of the Line of Credit for working capital,
distributions and general corporate purposes is limited to 10% of the amount
available thereunder. The majority of the Company's floating rate debt bears
interest at LIBOR (5.656% at September 30, 1997) plus an amount between 0.45%
and 1.5%.
    
 
     There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet its present
or future debt service obligations and, to the extent that it cannot, it risks
the loss of certain of its assets to foreclosure. Changes in economic conditions
could result in higher interest rates which could increase debt service
requirements on the Company's floating rate debt. Adverse economic conditions
could cause the terms on which borrowings become available to be unfavorable. In
such circumstances, if the Company is in need of capital to repay indebtedness
in accordance with its terms or otherwise, it could be required to liquidate one
or more investments in hotel properties at times which may not permit
realization of the maximum return on such investments.
 
   
     In order to qualify as a REIT, FelCor generally is required each year to
distribute to its shareholders at least 95% of its net taxable income (excluding
any net capital gain). In addition, FelCor is subject to a 4% nondeductible
excise tax on the amount, if any, by which certain distributions paid by it with
respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (i) 85% of its ordinary
income, (ii) 95% of its capital gain net income for that year, and (iii) any
undistributed taxable income from prior periods. FelCor intends to continue to
make distributions to its shareholders to comply with the 95% distribution
requirement and to avoid the nondeductible excise tax. FelCor's income consists
primarily of its share of the income of FelCor LP, and FelCor's cash available
for distribution consists primarily of its share of cash distributions from
FelCor LP. Differences in timing between taxable income and cash available for
distribution due to the seasonality of the hospitality industry could require
the Company to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet the 95% distribution
requirement and to avoid the nondeductible excise tax. In such a case, the
Company also would be required to borrow funds to make payments of principal and
interest on Indebtedness.
    
 
DEPENDENCE ON LESSEE'S HOTEL OPERATIONS
 
     The Company's revenues consist primarily of lease revenue under the
Percentage Leases. The obligations of the Lessee under the Percentage Leases are
unsecured. The Lessee's only assets are cash, receivables, inventory, supplies
and prepaid expenses needed in the operation of the Current Hotels, the
franchise licenses for the Current Hotels, its rights and benefits under the
Percentage Leases and the management contracts relating to such hotels and,
subject to certain limitations, its right to borrow on a subordinated basis an
aggregate of up to approximately $15.4 million from its equity owners partners
and managers of certain hotels. At September 30, 1997, the Lessee had a deficit
in total shareholders' equity of approximately $8.0 million. Consequently, both
the Company and the Lessee are substantially dependent upon the operations of
the Current Hotels. See "-- Hotel Industry Risks."
 
                                       16
<PAGE>   24
 
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
 
   
     Mr. Feldman and Mr. Corcoran, who are officers and directors of FelCor, are
also officers and directors of the Lessee. All of the voting interests in the
Lessee (constituting a 50% equity interest) are beneficially owned by Messrs.
Feldman and Corcoran, and the non-voting interests (constituting the remaining
50% equity interest) are owned beneficially by the children of Mr. Mathewson, a
major initial investor in the Company and a director of FelCor.
    
 
  General
 
   
     Because of the direct and indirect ownership interests of Messrs. Feldman,
Corcoran and Mathewson in, and their positions with, the Company and the Lessee,
there are inherent conflicts of interest in connection with the Company's
purchase of the Initial Hotels, in which such persons held an interest, and in
the ongoing lease and operation of the Company's hotels. Accordingly, the
interests of the Company's equity owners may not have been, and in the future
may not be, solely reflected in all decisions made or actions taken by such
officers and directors. In an effort to address one of the primary continuing
conflicts, Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran have entered into an agreement with the
Company to utilize any amounts distributed to them from the Lessee, in excess of
their tax liability for the earnings of the Lessee, to purchase from the Company
additional shares of Common Stock (or Units) at the then current market price.
    
 
  No Arms-Length Bargaining on Percentage Leases
 
   
     The terms of the Percentage Leases were not negotiated on an arms-length
basis and, accordingly, may not reflect fair market values or terms. Management
of the Company believes, however, that the terms of such agreements are fair to
the Company and are upon terms as favorable to the Company as could be obtained
from a financially responsible unrelated third party. The lease payments under
the Percentage Leases have been, and will be, calculated with reference to
historical financial data and the projected operating and financial performance
of the hotels. The terms of the Percentage Leases are believed by management of
the Company to be typical of provisions found in other leases entered into in
similar transactions. The Percentage Leases are approved by FelCor's
"Independent Directors," being those directors who are not officers or employees
of FelCor or affiliates of any subsidiary or lessee thereof. The Company does
not own any interest in the Lessee. All of the voting Class A membership
interest in the Lessee (representing a 50% equity interest) is owned
beneficially by Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran and all of the non-voting Class B
membership interest in the Lessee (representing the remaining 50% equity
interest) is held by RGC Leasing, Inc., a Nevada corporation owned by the
children of Mr. Mathewson, a director of FelCor. As a result, such persons may
have a conflict of interest with the Company in the performance of their
management services to the Company in connection with the Percentage Leases.
    
 
  Adverse Tax Consequences to Certain Affiliates on a Sale of Initial Hotels
 
     Certain affiliates of the Company may have unrealized gain in their
investments in the six Initial Hotels acquired by the Company at its inception
on July 28, 1994. A subsequent sale of such hotels by the Company, although not
restricted by agreement, may cause adverse tax consequences to such persons.
Therefore, the interests of the Company and certain of its affiliates, including
Messrs. Feldman, Corcoran and Mathewson, could be different in connection with
the disposition of any of such hotels. However, decisions with respect to the
disposition of all hotel properties in which the Company invests will be made by
a majority of the Board of Directors, which majority must include a majority of
the Independent Directors when the disposition involves any of the Initial
Hotels.
 
ABSENCE OF PUBLIC MARKET
 
     The New Notes are new issues of securities, have no established trading
market and may not be widely distributed. The Company does not intend to list
the New Notes on any national securities exchange or to seek the admission
thereof to trading in the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotation System. The Company has been advised by the Initial Purchasers that
they presently intend to make a market in the New Notes. However, the Initial
Purchasers are not obligated to do so and any market making activities with
respect to the New Notes may be discontinued at any time without notice. In
addition, such market
 
                                       17
<PAGE>   25
 
making activity will be subject to the limitations imposed by the Exchange Act
and may be limited during the Exchange Offer and at certain other times. No
assurance can be given that an active public or other trading market will
develop for the New Notes or as to the liquidity of any trading market for the
New Notes. If a trading market does not develop or is not maintained, holders of
the New Notes may experience difficulty in reselling the New Notes or may be
unable to sell them at all. If a market for the New Notes develops, any such
market may be discontinued at any time. If a public trading market develops for
the New Notes, future trading prices of the New Notes will depend on many
factors, including, among other things, prevailing interest rates, the Company's
results of operations and the market for similar securities. Depending on
prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities and other facts,
including the financial condition of the Company, the New Notes may trade at a
discount from their principal amount.
 
RISK OF FRAUDULENT TRANSFER LIABILITY
 
     The management of FelCor believes that the indebtedness represented by the
Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees was incurred for proper purposes and in good
faith, and that, based on present forecasts, asset valuations and other
financial information, the Company is solvent, has sufficient capital for
carrying on its businesses and is able to pay its debts as they mature.
Notwithstanding management's belief, if a court of competent jurisdiction in a
suit by an unpaid creditor or a representative of creditors (such as a trustee
in bankruptcy or a debtor-in-possession) were to find that either FelCor, FelCor
LP or the Subsidiary Guarantors did not receive fair consideration or reasonably
equivalent value for issuing the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees and, at the
time of the incurrence of indebtedness represented by the Notes or the
Subsidiary Guarantees, such entity was insolvent, was rendered insolvent by
reason of such incurrence, was engaged in a business or transaction for which
its remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital, intended to hinder,
delay or defraud its creditors, such court could avoid such indebtedness or
subordinate such indebtedness to other existing and future indebtedness of such
entity. The measure of insolvency for purposes of the foregoing will vary
depending upon the law of the relevant jurisdiction. Generally, however, an
entity would be considered insolvent for purposes of the foregoing if the sum of
an entity's debts is greater than all of its property at a fair valuation, or if
the present fair saleable value of the entity's assets is less than the amount
that will be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts as
they become absolute and matured.
 
RESTRICTIVE DEBT COVENANTS
 
     The terms of the Line of Credit and Indenture contain certain restrictive
covenants, including, among others, covenants which may prohibit or
significantly restrict the ability of FelCor, FelCor LP and certain of their
subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, make investments, engage in transactions
with shareholders and affiliates, incur liens, create restrictions on the
ability of certain subsidiaries to pay dividends or make certain payments to the
Company, merge or consolidate with any other person or sell, assign, transfer,
lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of
such entities. In addition, the Company is required under the Line of Credit to
maintain certain specified financial ratios. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to maintain such ratios or that such covenants will not
adversely affect the Company's ability to finance its future operations or
capital needs or to engage in other business activities that may be in the
interest of the Company. The breach of any of these covenants or the inability
of the Company to comply with the required financial ratios could result in a
default under the Line of Credit or the Indenture. In the event of any such
default, all amounts borrowed under the Line of Credit or the Indenture,
together with accrued interest, could be declared to be due and payable. If the
Indebtedness under the Line of Credit or the Indenture were to be accelerated,
there can be no assurance that the assets of the Company would be sufficient to
repay such Indebtedness in full. See "Description of Certain Indebtedness" and
"Description of the Notes and Guarantees."
 
HOTEL INDUSTRY RISKS
 
  Operating Risks
 
     The Company's hotels are subject to all operating risks common to the hotel
industry. These risks include, among other things, intense competition from
other hotels; over-building in the hotel industry which
 
                                       18
<PAGE>   26
 
has adversely affected occupancy, ADR and RevPAR in the past; increases in
operating costs due to inflation and other factors, which increases have not
always been, and may not necessarily in the future be, offset by increased
suite/room rates; dependence on business and commercial travelers and tourism;
increases in energy costs and other expenses of travel; and adverse effects of
general and local economic conditions. Such factors could adversely affect the
Lessee's ability to make lease payments and, consequently, the Company's ability
to make any required payments of principal and interest on indebtedness.
Further, annual adjustments to the base rent and the thresholds for computation
of percentage rent, based upon a formula taking into account changes in the U.S.
Consumer Price Index ("CPI"), would (in the absence of offsetting increases in
suite revenue and in the event of any decrease in suite revenues) result in
decreased revenues to the Company under the Percentage Leases and decreased
amounts available for required payments of principal and interest on
indebtedness.
 
  Competition
 
     Competition for Guests; Operations. The hotel industry is highly
competitive. Each of the Company's hotels experiences competition primarily from
other upscale hotels in its immediate vicinity, but also competes with other
hotel properties in its geographic market. Some of the competitors of the
Company's hotels have substantially greater marketing and financial resources
than the Company and the Lessee. A number of additional hotel rooms are in
development, have been announced or have recently been completed in a number of
the Company's markets, and additional hotel rooms may be developed in the
future. Such additional hotel rooms could have an adverse effect on the revenues
of the Company's hotels in such markets.
 
     Competition for Acquisitions. The Company may be competing for investment
opportunities with entities which have substantially greater financial resources
than the Company. These entities may generally be able to accept more risk than
the Company prudently can manage. Competition may generally reduce the number of
suitable investment opportunities offered to the Company and increase the
bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell.
 
  Seasonality of Hotel Business
 
     The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. Generally, hotel revenues are
greater in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters.
Through diversity in the geographic location and in the primary customer base of
the Company's hotels, the Company may be able to lessen, but not eliminate, the
effects of seasonality. Accordingly, seasonality can be expected to cause
quarterly fluctuations in the Company's lease revenue, to the extent it receives
percentage rent.
 
  Investment Concentration in Single Industry
 
     The Company's current strategy is to acquire interests exclusively in hotel
properties. The Company will not seek to invest in assets selected to reduce the
risks associated with investments in the hotel industry, and will be subject to
risks inherent in concentrating investments in a single industry. Therefore, the
adverse effect on the Company's lease revenue and amounts available for required
payments of principal and interest on indebtedness and to make distribution to
shareholders resulting from a downturn in the hotel industry will be more
pronounced than if the Company had diversified its investments outside of the
hotel industry. In addition, the Company's hotels are concentrated in the Upper
Upscale category of the hotel industry, particularly the all-suite segments
therein.
 
  Emphasis on Embassy Suites Hotels; Market Concentration
 
     Fifty-one of the Company's 71 Current Hotels are operated under, and one
was converted by year end to, the Embassy Suites brand. Accordingly, the Company
is subject to risks inherent in concentrating the Company's investments in the
Embassy Suites brand, such as a reduction in business following adverse
publicity related to the brand, which could have an adverse effect on the
Company's lease revenues and amounts available for required payments of
principal and interest on indebtedness and to make distributions to
shareholders.
 
     The Current Hotels are located in 26 states; however, almost one-half of
such hotels are located in three states, with 11 hotels located in each of
Florida and California and nine hotels located in Texas. Therefore,
 
                                       19
<PAGE>   27
 
adverse events or conditions which affect those areas particularly (such as
natural disasters or adverse changes in local economic conditions) could have a
more pronounced negative impact on the operations of the Company and amounts
available for required payments of principal and interest on indebtedness than
events affecting other areas.
 
RISKS OF OPERATING HOTELS UNDER FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS
 
   
     At September 30, 1997, fifty-one of the Current Hotels were being operated
under, and one was converted by year end to, the Embassy Suites brand. Of the 19
remaining Current Hotels, 12 are operated as Doubletree Guest Suites hotels,
under management contracts with Doubletree, six are operated as Sheraton hotels,
under management contracts with Sheraton, and one is, and may continue to be,
operated under a franchise license as a Hilton Suites hotel. No assurance can be
provided that the Company will not be required to make and fund significant
additional improvements to the Current Hotels in the future to obtain or
maintain its franchise licenses. Failure to complete improvements, when
required, in a manner satisfactory to the franchisor could result in the failure
to issue, or the cancellation, of one or more franchise licenses. In addition,
the Company may desire to operate additional hotels acquired by it under
franchise licenses from Promus or another franchisor, and such franchisors may
require that significant capital expenditures be made to such additional hotels
as a condition of granting such franchise licenses.
    
 
   
     The continuation of franchise licenses for the Current Hotels is subject to
the maintenance of specified operating standards and other terms and conditions.
Promus periodically inspects its licensed properties to confirm adherence to its
maintenance and operating standards. Under each Percentage Lease, the Company is
obligated, among other things, to pay the costs of maintaining the structural
elements of each hotel and to set aside as a reserve 4% of hotel suite revenues
per month, on a cumulative basis, and to fund from the reserve or from other
sources capital expenditures (subject to approval by the Board of Directors) for
the periodic replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment
required for the retention of such franchise licenses. During the period from
the closing of FelCor's initial public offering to December 31, 1996, the
Company made, and in the future may be obligated or deem it advisable to make,
capital investments in the Current Hotels in excess of 4% of the suite revenues
thereof. Should the Company be required or elect to do so in the future, such
investments may necessitate the use of borrowed funds or the reduction of
distributions. The Lessee is responsible for routine maintenance and repair
expenditures with respect to the Current Hotels. The failure to maintain the
standards or adhere to the other terms and conditions of the Embassy Suites or
other franchise licenses could result in the loss or cancellation of such
franchise licenses. It is possible that a franchisor could condition the
continuation of a franchise license upon the completion of substantial capital
improvements, which the Board of Directors may determine to be too expensive or
otherwise unwarranted in light of general economic conditions or the operating
results or prospects of the affected hotel. In that event, the Board of
Directors may elect to allow the franchise license to lapse, in which event the
Company will be obligated to indemnify the Lessee against any loss or liability
incurred by it as a consequence of such decision. In any case, if a franchise is
terminated, the Company and the Lessee may seek to obtain a suitable replacement
franchise, or to operate the affected hotel independent of a franchise license.
The loss of any franchise license could have a material adverse effect upon the
operations or the underlying value of the hotel covered by such license because
of the loss of associated name recognition, marketing support and centralized
reservation systems provided by the franchisor. The loss of a number of the
franchise licenses for the Current Hotels could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's revenues under the Percentage Leases and the Company's cash
available to make required payments of principal and interest on indebtedness
and to make distributions to its shareholders.
    
 
OPERATIONAL RISKS OF RAPID GROWTH
 
   
     The Company's acquisition of interests in 58 hotels between late 1995 and
September 30, 1997, has resulted in a substantial increase in the number and
geographic dispersion of the hotels owned by the Company and leased to the
Lessee. As a result, FelCor has added five senior management personnel as well
as additional accounting and administrative personnel between mid-1995 and
September 30, 1997. To the extent FelCor is unable to retain or hire experienced
personnel to manage the Company's business and assets, its operations could be
adversely affected. Continued growth may result in increased demands upon, or
additions
    
 
                                       20
<PAGE>   28
 
   
to, FelCor staff. The increased demand upon the time of such employees,
particularly if additional qualified staff cannot be obtained, could adversely
affect the operations and revenues of the Company.
    
 
RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
 
     The Company's future success, including particularly the implementation of
the Company's acquisition growth strategy, is substantially dependent on the
active participation of Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran. The loss of the services
of both these individuals could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT RISKS
 
     The Company's investments are subject to varying degrees of risk generally
incident to the ownership of real property, including, in addition to the risks
discussed below, adverse changes in general or local economic conditions, zoning
laws, traffic patterns and neighborhood characteristics, tax rates, governmental
rules and fiscal policies, and by civil unrest, acts of war, and other adverse
factors which are beyond the control of the Company.
 
  Illiquidity of Real Estate
 
     Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. The ability of the Company
to vary its portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions
will be limited. Also, no assurances can be given that the market value of any
of the Current Hotels will not decrease in the future. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to dispose of an investment when it finds
disposition advantageous or necessary or that the sale price realized in any
disposition will recoup or exceed the amount of the Company's investment
therein.
 
  Uninsured and Underinsured Losses
 
   
     Each of the Current Hotels is covered by comprehensive policies of
insurance, including liability, fire and extended coverage. Management believes
such specified coverage is of the type and amount customarily obtained by owners
of real property assets. However, there are certain types of losses, generally
of a catastrophic nature, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and floods, that may
be uninsurable or not economically insurable. Eleven of the Current Hotels are
located in California, which is subject to relatively higher seismic risks.
Although each of such hotels was constructed under the more recent and stringent
post-1984 building codes that were intended to reduce the likelihood or extent
of damage from seismic activity, no assurance can be given that an earthquake
would not cause substantial damage and losses. Additionally, 16 of the Current
Hotels are located in the coastal areas of Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, South
Carolina or Texas and may, therefore, be particularly susceptible to potential
damage from hurricanes or high-wind activity. The Company presently maintains
and intends to continue to maintain earthquake insurance on each of the Current
Hotels located in California and wind damage insurance on its hotels located in
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina and Texas, to the extent
practicable. The Board of Directors may exercise discretion in determining
amounts, coverage limits and the deductibility provisions of insurance, with a
view to maintaining appropriate insurance coverage on the Company's investments
at a reasonable cost and on suitable terms. This may result in insurance
coverage that, in the event of a substantial loss, would not be sufficient to
pay the full current market value or current replacement cost of the Company's
lost investment. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances,
environmental considerations, and other factors also might make it impractical
to use insurance proceeds to replace the property after such property has been
damaged or destroyed. Under such circumstances, the insurance proceeds received
by the Company might not be adequate to restore its economic position with
respect to such property.
    
 
  Environmental Matters
 
     Under various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be
liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances
on, under or in such property. Such laws often impose liability whether or not
the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such
hazardous or toxic substances. Liability also may extend to persons holding a
security interest in the property, under certain limited circumstances. In
addition, the presence of contamination from hazardous or toxic substances, or
the failure to properly remediate such
                                       21
<PAGE>   29
 
   
contaminated property, may adversely affect the owner's ability to dispose of
such property, to fully utilize such property without restriction or to borrow
using such property as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or
treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may also be liable for the costs of
removal or remediation of such substances at the disposal or treatment facility,
whether or not such facility is or ever was owned or operated by such person.
Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose
liability for release of hazardous or toxic substances, including the release of
asbestos-containing materials ("ACMs") into the air, and third parties may seek
recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury or
property damage associated with such releases, including exposure to released
ACMs. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which
property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may
require expenditures. Environmental laws provide for sanctions in the event of
noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain
circumstances, by private parties. In connection with the ownership of the
Current Hotels and any subsequently acquired hotels, the Company may be
potentially liable for such costs. The cost of defending against claims of
liability, of compliance with environmental regulatory requirements or of
remediating a contaminated property could materially adversely affect the
business, assets or results of operations of the Company and, consequently,
amounts available for required payments of principal and interest on
indebtedness and to make distributions to the Company's equity owners.
    
 
     Phase I environmental audits from independent environmental engineers were
obtained with respect to substantially all of the Current Hotels prior to the
acquisition thereof by the Company. The principal purpose of Phase I audits is
to identify indications of potential environmental contamination for which the
Current Hotels may be responsible and, secondarily, to assess, to a limited
extent, the potential for environmental regulatory compliance liabilities. The
Phase I audits of the Current Hotels were designed to meet the requirements of
the then current industry standards governing Phase I audits, and consistent
with those requirements, none of the audits involved testing of groundwater,
soil or air. Accordingly, they do not represent evaluations of conditions at the
studied sites that would be revealed only through such testing. In addition,
their assessment of environmental regulatory compliance issues was general in
scope and was not a detailed determination of the Current Hotels' complete
compliance status. Similarly, the audits did not involve comprehensive analysis
of potential off-site liability. The Phase I audit reports have not revealed any
environmental liability that management believes would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, assets or results of operations, nor is the
Company aware of any such liability. Nevertheless, it is possible that these
reports do not reveal all environmental liabilities or that there are material
environmental liabilities of which the Company is unaware.
 
  Compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act
 
   
     Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"), all public
accommodations are required to meet certain federal requirements related to
access and use by disabled persons. While management of the Company believes
that, based upon an examination thereof and consultation with professionals, the
Current Hotels are substantially in compliance with these requirements, a
determination that the Company is not in compliance with the ADA could result in
the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. If the
Company were required to make substantial modifications at the Current Hotels to
comply with the ADA, the Company's ability to make required payments of
principal and interest on indebtedness and to make distributions to its equity
owners could be adversely affected.
    
 
  Increases in Property Taxes
 
   
     Each Current Hotel is subject to real and personal property taxes. The real
and personal property taxes on hotel properties in which the Company invests may
increase as property tax rates change and as the properties are assessed or
reassessed by taxing authorities. If property taxes increase, the Company's
ability to make required payments of principal and interest on indebtedness and
to make distributions to its equity owners could be adversely affected.

                               THE EXCHANGE OFFER
 
PURPOSE AND EFFECT
 
   
     The Old Notes were sold by FelCor LP to the Initial Purchasers on October
1, 1997, pursuant to the Placement Agreement. The Initial Purchasers
subsequently resold the Old Notes to Qualified Institutional Buyers in
compliance with Rule 144A and to a limited number of institutional Accredited
Investors that, prior to their purchase of Old Notes, delivered to the Initial
Purchasers a letter containing certain representations and agreements. FelCor
LP, FelCor and the Initial Purchasers also entered into the Registration Rights
Agreement, pursuant to which FelCor LP agreed, with respect to the Old Notes and
subject to the Company's determination that the Exchange Offer is permitted
under applicable law, to cause to be filed a registration statement with the
Commission under the Securities Act concerning the Exchange Offer, to use its
best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by
the Commission, and to cause the Exchange Offer to be consummated on or prior to
April 1, 1998. FelCor LP will keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not
less than 20 business days and not more than 30 business days. This Exchange
Offer is intended to satisfy the Company's exchange offer obligations under the
Registration Rights Agreement.
    
 
CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO EXCHANGE OLD NOTES
 
     Following the expiration of the Exchange Offer, holders of Old Notes not
tendered, or not properly tendered, will not have any further registration
rights and such Old Notes will continue to be subject to the existing
restrictions on transfer thereof. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for a
holder's Old Notes could be adversely affected upon expiration of the Exchange
Offer if such holder elects not to participate in the Exchange Offer.
 
TERMS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER
 
     FelCor LP hereby offers, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth herein and in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, to exchange (i)
$1,000 in principal amount of the New 7 3/8% Notes for each $1,000 in principal
amount of the outstanding Old 7 3/8% Notes and (ii) $1,000 in principal amount
of the New 7 5/8% Notes for each $1,000 in principal amount of the outstanding
Old 7 5/8% Notes. Global New Notes will be exchanged for Global Old Notes and
Certificated New Notes will be exchanged for Certificated Old Notes. FelCor LP
will accept for exchange any and all Old Notes that are validly tendered on or
prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Tenders of the
Old Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the Expiration Date. The Exchange Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum
principal amount of Old Notes being tendered for exchange. However, the Exchange
Offer is subject to the terms and provisions of the Registration Rights
Agreement. See "-- Conditions of the Exchange Offer."
 
     Old Notes may be tendered only in multiples of $1,000. Subject to the
foregoing, holders of Old Notes may tender less than the aggregate principal
amount represented by the Old Notes held by them, provided that they
appropriately indicate this fact on the Letter of Transmittal accompanying the
tendered Old Notes.
 
     As of the date of this Prospectus, $175 million in aggregate principal
amount of the Old 7 3/8% Notes and $125 million in aggregate principal amount of
Old 7 5/8% Notes, is outstanding. As of October 28, 1997, (i) there was one
registered holder of the Old 7 3/8% Notes, Cede & Co., which held the Old 7 3/8%
Notes for 28 of its participants and (ii) there were six registered holders of
the Old 7 5/8% Notes, Cede & Co., which held $122 million in principal amount of
the Old 7 5/8% Notes for 27 of its participants, and five institutional
Accredited Investors holding an aggregate of $3 million in principal amount of
the Old 7 5/8% Notes. Solely for reasons of administration, FelCor LP has fixed
the close of business on January   , 1998, as the record date (the "Record
Date") for purposes of determining the persons to whom this Prospectus and the
Letter of Transmittal initially will be mailed. Only a holder of the Old Notes
(or such holder's legal representative or attorney-in-fact) may participate in
the Exchange Offer. There will be no fixed record date for determining holders
of the Old Notes entitled to participate in the Exchange Offer. FelCor LP
believes that, as of the date
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   31
 
of this Prospectus, no such holder is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under
the Securities Act) of FelCor LP.
 
     FelCor LP shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Old Notes when,
as and if FelCor LP has given oral or written notice thereof to the Exchange
Agent. The Exchange Agent will act as agent for the tendering holders of Old
Notes and for the purposes of receiving the New Notes from FelCor LP.
 
     If any tendered Old Notes are not accepted for exchange because of an
invalid tender, the occurrence of certain other events set forth herein or
otherwise, certificates for any such unaccepted Old Notes will be returned,
without expense, to the tendering holder thereof as promptly as practicable
after the Expiration Date.
 
EXPIRATION DATE; EXTENSIONS; AMENDMENTS
 
     The Expiration Date shall be             , 1998, at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, unless FelCor LP, in its sole discretion, extends the Exchange Offer,
in which case the Expiration Date shall be the latest date and time to which the
Exchange Offer is extended, but shall not be later than             , 1998.
 
     In order to extend the Exchange Offer, FelCor LP will notify the Exchange
Agent of any extension by oral or written notice and will make a public
announcement thereof, each prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next
business day after the previously scheduled Expiration Date.
 
   
     FelCor LP reserves the right, in its sole discretion, (i) to delay
accepting any Old Notes, (ii) to extend the Exchange Offer, (iii) if any of the
conditions set forth below under "-- Conditions of the Exchange Offer" shall not
have been satisfied, to terminate the Exchange Offer, by giving oral or written
notice of such delay, extension, or termination to the Exchange Agent, and (iv)
to amend the terms of the Exchange Offer in any manner. If the Exchange Offer is
amended in a manner determined by FelCor LP to constitute a material change,
FelCor LP will promptly disclose such amendments by means of a prospectus
supplement that will be distributed to the registered holders of the Old Notes.
Modification of the Exchange Offer, including, but not limited to, (i) extension
of the period during which the Exchange Offer is open and (ii) satisfaction of
the conditions set forth below under "-- Conditions of the Exchange Offer" may
require that at least five (5) business days remain in the Exchange Offer.
    
 
CONDITIONS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER
 
     The Exchange Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of
the Old Notes being tendered for exchange. However, the Exchange Offer is
conditioned upon the declaration by the Commission of the effectiveness of the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement of which this Prospectus constitutes a
part.
 
ACCRUED INTEREST
 
     The New 7 3/8% Notes will bear interest at a rate equal to 7 3/8% per annum
and the New 7 5/8% Notes will bear interest at a rate equal to 7 5/8% per annum,
which interest shall accrue from October 1, 1997 or from the most recent
Interest Payment Date with respect to the Old Notes to which interest was paid
or duly provided for. See "Description of the Notes and Guarantees -- General."
 
PROCEDURES FOR TENDERING OLD NOTES
 
   
     The tender of a holder's Old Notes as set forth below and the acceptance
thereof by FelCor LP will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering
holder and FelCor LP upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Prospectus and in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal. Except as set
forth below, a holder who wishes to tender Old Notes for exchange pursuant to
the Exchange Offer must deliver such Old Notes, together with a properly
completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, including all other documents
required by such Letter of Transmittal, to the Exchange Agent at the address set
forth under "-- The Exchange Agent; Assistance" and on the back cover page of
this Prospectus prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.
THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF OLD NOTES, LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER
REQUIRED DOCUMENTS IS AT THE ELEC-
    
                                       24
<PAGE>   32
 
TION AND RISK OF THE HOLDER. IF SUCH DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT
REGISTERED MAIL, PROPERLY INSURED, WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, BE USED.
INSTEAD OF DELIVERY BY MAIL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE HOLDER USE AN OVERNIGHT
OR HAND DELIVERY SERVICE. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO
ASSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.
 
     Each signature on a Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the
case may be, must be guaranteed unless the Old Notes surrendered for exchange
pursuant hereto are tendered (i) by a registered holder of the Old Notes who has
not completed either the box entitled "Special Exchange Instructions" or the box
entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" in the Letter of Transmittal, or (ii)
by an Eligible Institution (as defined under "The Exchange Offer -- Procedures
for Tendering Old Notes"). In the event that a signature on a Letter of
Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, is required to be
guaranteed, such guarantee must be by a firm which is a member of a registered
national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in
the United States or otherwise be an "eligible guarantor institution" within the
meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act (collectively, "Eligible
Institutions"). If the Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than
the registered holder of the Old Notes, the Old Notes surrendered for exchange
must either (i) be endorsed by the registered holder, with the signature thereon
guaranteed by an Eligible Institution, or (ii) be accompanied by a bond power,
in satisfactory form as determined by FelCor LP in its sole discretion, duly
executed by the registered holder, with the signature thereon guaranteed by an
Eligible Institution. The term "registered holder" as used herein with respect
to the Old Notes means any person in whose name the Old Notes are registered on
the books of the Registrar.
 
     All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of
receipt), acceptance and withdrawal of Old Notes tendered for exchange will be
determined by FelCor LP in its sole discretion, which determination shall be
final and binding. FelCor LP reserves the absolute right to reject any and all
Old Notes not properly tendered and to reject any Old Notes FelCor LP's
acceptance of which might, in the judgment of FelCor LP or its counsel, be
unlawful. FelCor LP also reserves the absolute right to waive any defects or
irregularities or conditions of the Exchange Offer as to particular Old Notes
either before or after the Expiration Date (including the right to waive the
ineligibility of any holder who seeks to tender Old Notes in the Exchange
Offer). The interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer
(including the Letter of Transmittal and the instructions thereto) by FelCor LP
shall be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or
irregularities in connection with tenders of Old Notes for exchange must be
cured within such period of time as FelCor LP shall determine. FelCor LP will
use reasonable efforts to give notification of defects or irregularities with
respect to tenders of Old Notes for exchange but shall not incur any liability
for failure to give such notification. Tenders of the Old Notes will not be
deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been cured or waived.
 
     If any Letter of Transmittal, endorsement, bond power, power of attorney or
any other document required by the Letter of Transmittal is signed by a trustee,
executor, corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative
capacity, such person should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by
FelCor LP, proper evidence satisfactory to FelCor LP, in its sole discretion, of
such person's authority to so act must be submitted.
 
     Any beneficial owner of the Old Notes (a "Beneficial Owner") whose Old
Notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust
company or other nominee and who wishes to tender Old Notes in the Exchange
Offer should contact such registered holder promptly and instruct such
registered holder to tender on such Beneficial Owner's behalf. If such
Beneficial Owner wishes to tender directly, such Beneficial Owner must, prior to
completing and executing the Letter of Transmittal and tendering Old Notes, make
appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the Old Notes in such
Beneficial Owner's name. Beneficial Owners should be aware that the transfer of
registered ownership may take considerable time.
 
     By tendering, each registered holder will represent to FelCor LP that,
among other things (i) the New Notes to be acquired in connection with the
Exchange Offer by the holder and each Beneficial Owner of the Old Notes are
being acquired by the holder and each Beneficial Owner in the ordinary course of
business of
 
                                       25
<PAGE>   33
 
the holder and each Beneficial Owner, (ii) the holder and each Beneficial Owner
are not participating, do not intend to participate, and have no arrangement or
understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the New
Notes, (iii) the holder and each Beneficial Owner acknowledge and agree that any
person participating in the Exchange Offer for the purpose of distributing the
New Notes must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements
of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction of the
New Notes acquired by such person and cannot rely on the position of the Staff
of the Commission set forth in "no-action" letters that are discussed herein
under "-- Resales of the New Notes," (iv) that if the holder is a broker-dealer
that acquired Old Notes as a result of market making or other trading
activities, it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of New
Notes acquired in the Exchange Offer, (v) the holder and each Beneficial Owner
understand that a secondary resale transaction described in clause (iii) above
should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling
security holder information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K of the
Securities Act, and (vi) neither the holder nor any Beneficial Owner is an
"affiliate," as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of FelCor LP
except as otherwise disclosed to FelCor LP in writing.
 
GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURES
 
     Holders who wish to tender their Old Notes and (i) whose Old Notes are not
immediately available or (ii) who cannot deliver their Old Notes or any other
documents required by the Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent prior to
the Expiration Date, may tender their Old Notes according to the guaranteed
delivery procedures set forth in the Letter of Transmittal. Pursuant to such
procedures: (i) such tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution
and a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (as defined in the Letter of Transmittal)
must be signed by such holder, (ii) on or prior to the Expiration Date, the
Exchange Agent must have received from the holder and the Eligible Institution a
properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (by facsimile
transmission, mail or hand delivery) setting forth the name and address of the
holder, the certificate number or numbers of the tendered Old Notes, and the
principal amount of tendered Old Notes, stating that the tender is being made
thereby and guaranteeing that, within five (5) business days after the date of
delivery of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, the tendered Old Notes, a duly
executed Letter of Transmittal and any other required documents will be
deposited by the Eligible Institution with the Exchange Agent, and (iii) such
properly completed and executed documents required by the Letter of Transmittal
and the tendered Old Notes in proper form for transfer must be received by the
Exchange Agent within five (5) business days after the Expiration Date. Any
Holder who wishes to tender Old Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery
procedures described above must ensure that the Exchange Agent receives the
Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and Letter of Transmittal relating to such Old
Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.
 
ACCEPTANCE OF OLD NOTES FOR EXCHANGE; DELIVERY OF NEW NOTES
 
     Upon satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions to the Exchange Offer,
FelCor LP will accept any and all Old Notes that are properly tendered in the
Exchange Offer prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.
The New Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be delivered promptly
after acceptance of the Old Notes. For purposes of the Exchange Offer, FelCor LP
shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Old Notes, when, as, and if
FelCor LP has given oral or written notice thereof to the Exchange Agent.
 
     In all cases, issuances of New Notes for Old Notes that are accepted for
exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be made only after timely receipt
by the Exchange Agent of such Old Notes, a properly completed and duly executed
Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents; provided, however, that
FelCor LP reserves the absolute right to waive any defects or irregularities in
the tender or conditions of the Exchange Offer. If any tendered Old Notes are
not accepted for any reason, such unaccepted Old Notes will be returned without
expense to the tendering holder thereof as promptly as practicable after the
expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer.

WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS
 
   
     Tenders of the Old Notes may be withdrawn by delivery of a written notice
to the Exchange Agent, at its address set forth on the back cover page of this
Prospectus, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
Expiration Date. Any such notice of withdrawal must (i) specify the name of the
person having deposited the Old Notes to be withdrawn (the "Depository"), (ii)
identify the Old Notes to be withdrawn (including the certificate number or
numbers and principal amount of such Old Notes, as applicable), (iii) be signed
by the holder in the same manner as the original signature on the Letter of
Transmittal by which such Old Notes were tendered (including any required
signature guarantees) or be accompanied by a bond power in the name of the
person withdrawing the tender, in satisfactory form as determined by FelCor LP
in its sole discretion, duly executed by the registered holder, with the
signature thereon guaranteed by an Eligible Institution together with the other
documents required upon transfer by the Indenture, and (iv) specify the name in
which such Old Notes are to be re-registered, if different from the Depository,
pursuant to such documents of transfer. Any questions as to the validity, form
and eligibility (including time of receipt) of such notices will be determined
by FelCor LP, in its sole discretion. The Old Notes so withdrawn will be deemed
not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the Exchange
Offer. Any Old Notes which have been tendered for exchange but which are
withdrawn will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to such holder as
soon as practicable after withdrawal. Properly withdrawn Old Notes may be
retendered by following one of the procedures described under "The Exchange
Offer -- Procedures for Tendering Old Notes" at any time on or prior to the
Expiration Date.

FEES AND EXPENSES
 
     All expenses incident to FelCor LP's consummation of the Exchange Offer and
compliance with the Registration Rights Agreement will be borne by FelCor LP,
including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees (including
fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or Blue Sky laws), (ii)
printing expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for the New Notes
in a form eligible for deposit with DTC and of printing prospectuses), (iii)
messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of
counsel for FelCor LP, (v) fees and disbursements of independent certified
public accountants, (vi) rating agency fees, and (vii) internal expenses of
FelCor LP (including all salaries and expenses of officers and employees of
FelCor LP performing legal or accounting duties).
 
     FelCor LP has not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the
Exchange Offer and will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or others for
soliciting acceptance of the Exchange Offer. FelCor LP, however, will pay the
Exchange Agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse
it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.
 
                                       27
<PAGE>   35
 
     FelCor LP will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange
of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. If, however, a transfer tax is
imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the
Exchange Offer, then the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on
the registered holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering
holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption is not
submitted with the Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will
be billed directly to such tendering holder.
 
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
 
     The New Notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the Old Notes,
as reflected in FelCor LP's accounting records on the date of the exchange.
Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized by FelCor LP for accounting
purposes. The expenses of the Exchange Offer will be amortized over the term of
the New Notes.
 
RESALES OF THE NEW NOTES
 
   
     Based on an interpretation by the Staff of the Commission set forth in
"no-action" letters issued to third parties, FelCor LP believes that the New
Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer to a holder in exchange for Old
Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by such holder
(other than (i) a broker-dealer who purchased Old Notes directly from FelCor LP
for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or any other available
exemption under the Securities Act, or (ii) a person that is an affiliate of
FelCor LP within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) without
compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act, provided that such holder is acquiring the New Notes in the
ordinary course of business and is not participating, and has no arrangement or
understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the New
Notes. The Company has not requested or obtained an interpretive letter from the
Staff of the Commission with respect to this Exchange Offer, and the Company and
the holders are not entitled to rely on interpretive advice provided by the
Staff to other persons, which advice was based on the facts and conditions
represented in such letters. However, the Exchange Offer is being conducted in a
manner intended to be consistent with the facts and conditions represented in
such letters. If any holder acquires New Notes in the Exchange Offer for the
purpose of distributing or participating in a distribution of the New Notes,
such holder cannot rely on the position of the Staff of the Commission
enunciated in Morgan Stanley & Co., Incorporated (available June 5, 1991) and
Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available April 13, 1989), or interpreted in
the Commission's letter to Shearman & Sterling (available July 2, 1993), or
similar "no-action" or interpretive letters and must comply with the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in
connection with a secondary resale transaction, unless an exemption from
registration is otherwise available. Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes
for its own account in exchange for Old Notes, where such Old Notes were
acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market making or other trading
activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection
with any resale of such New Notes. See "Plan of Distribution."
    
 
   
     It is expected that the New Notes will be freely transferable by the
holders thereof, subject to the limitations described in the immediately
preceding paragraph. Sales of New Notes acquired in the Exchange Offer by
holders who are "affiliates" of FelCor LP within the meaning of the Securities
Act will be subject to certain limitations on resale under Rule 144 of the
Securities Act. Such persons will only be entitled to sell New Notes in
compliance with the volume limitations set forth in Rule 144, and sales of New
Notes by affiliates will be subject to certain Rule 144 requirements as to the
manner of sale, notice and the availability of current public information
regarding FelCor LP. The foregoing is a summary only of Rule 144 as it may apply
to affiliates of FelCor LP. Any such persons must consult their own legal
counsel for advice as to any restrictions that might apply to the resale of
their Notes.

            SELECTED HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
     The following tables set forth selected historical and pro forma financial
information for FelCor LP and FelCor.
 
     With respect to each of FelCor LP and FelCor, the following tables set
forth (i) selected historical operating and other financial information for the
period from July 28, 1994 (inception of operations) to December 31, 1994 and the
years December 31, 1995 and 1996 and the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and 1997, (ii) selected historical balance sheet data as of December 31, 1994,
1995 and 1996, and September 30, 1996 and 1997, (iii) selected pro forma
operating and other financial information for the year ended December 31, 1996
and the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and (iv) selected pro forma balance
sheet data as of September 30, 1997.
 
     The selected historical financial information for each of FelCor LP and
FelCor as of and for the period from July 28, 1994 (inception of operations) to
December 31, 1994 and the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 has been
derived from the historical financial statements of FelCor LP or FelCor audited
by Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., independent accountants, whose reports with respect
thereto are set forth elsewhere herein. The selected historical financial data
as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 have been
derived from the unaudited financial statements of FelCor LP and FelCor, which
have been prepared by management on the same basis as the audited financial
statements, and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments
consisting of normal recurring accruals that are considered necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for such periods. Such results of operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of
results to be anticipated for the entire year.
 
     The pro forma operating and other information is presented as if the
purchase of each of the hotels acquired in 1996 and 1997 (through September 30,
1997), the Series A Preferred Stock offering in the second quarter of 1996, the
Common Stock offerings in the first and second quarters of 1997, and the $300
million senior unsecured debt placement had been consummated on January 1, 1996
and, therefore, incorporates certain assumptions that are included in the notes
to the pro forma financial statements that are included in the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements herein. The pro forma balance sheet data is
presented as if the $300 million senior unsecured debt placement had been
consummated on September 30, 1997. The pro forma financial information is not
necessarily indicative of what the actual financial position and results of
operations of FelCor LP or FelCor would have been as of and for the periods
indicated, nor does it purport to represent the future financial position and
results of operations of FelCor LP or FelCor.
 
   
     The selected combined historical financial data for the predecessor of
FelCor LP and FelCor (the "Initial Hotels") is presented for the years ending
December 31, 1992, 1993 and the period ending July 27, 1994 and represents the
operations of the six hotels acquired by the Company upon the completion of
FelCor's initial public offering of common stock ("IPO") in July 1994. The
Initial Hotels data is derived by combining the selected combined historical
financial data of the Tulsa Embassy Suites hotel (the "Tulsa Hotel"), five
additional hotels for periods prior to their acquisition by a FelCor affiliate
(the "E-5 Hotels") and the six hotels comprising the Tulsa Hotel and the E-5
Hotels for the period between their acquisition by a FelCor affiliate and
FelCor's IPO (the "FelCor Hotels") and represents the selected combined
historical financial data of all six initial hotels for the entire periods
presented. The Tulsa Hotel includes the operations of the Tulsa Hotel for
periods prior to acquisition by a FelCor affiliate on December 29, 1992, the E-5
Hotels includes the operations of five hotels prior to acquisition by a FelCor
affiliate on July 15, 1993 and the FelCor Hotels includes the operations of all
six hotels from date of acquisition by the FelCor affiliate. The selected
combined historical financial data for the E-5 Hotels and the FelCor Hotels have
been derived from the historical financial statements and notes thereto of the
E-5 Hotels and the FelCor Hotels, respectively, audited by Coopers and Lybrand
L.L.P., independent accountants. The selected combined historical financial data
for the Tulsa Hotel was derived from unaudited internal statements.

  (1) The pro forma financial information does not purport to represent what the
      financial position or results of operations of FelCor LP or FelCor
      actually would have been if the purchases of each of the hotels acquired
      in 1996 and 1997 (through September 30, 1997), the Series A Preferred
      Stock offering, the Common Stock offerings in the first and second
      quarters of 1997, and the $300 million senior unsecured debt placement
      had, in fact, occurred on such dates, or to project their financial
      position or results of operations at any future date or for any future
      period.
 
  (2) With respect to the pro forma financial information, represents lease
      payments from the Lessee to FelCor LP calculated on a pro forma basis by
      applying the contractual or anticipated rent provisions of the Percentage
      Leases to the historical suite and food and beverage revenues of the
      Current Hotels.
 
  (3) Pro forma general and administrative expenses represent executive and
      other compensation, legal, audit, and other expenses. These amounts are
      based on historical general and administrative expenses as well as
      probable 1997 expenses.
 
  (4) Represents annual dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock of $1.95 per
      share multiplied by 6,050,000 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
      Stock.
 
  (5) Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income applicable
      to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares and
      equivalents outstanding. Net income per unit is computed by dividing net
      income applicable to unitholders by the weighted average number of
      partnership units outstanding. Common share and unit equivalents that have
      a dilutive effect represent restricted shares issued to certain officers
      and directors. For the periods presented, the common share and unit
      equivalents had an immaterial dilutive effect.
 
   
  (6) The White Paper on Funds from Operations approved by the Board of
      Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
      ("NAREIT") in March 1995 defines Funds from Operations as net income
      (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses)
      from debt restructuring and sales of properties, plus real estate related
      depreciation and amortization and after comparable adjustments for the
      Company's portion of these items related to unconsolidated partnerships
      and joint ventures. The Company believes that Funds from Operations is
      helpful to investors as a measure of the performance of an equity REIT
      because, along with cash flow from operating activities, financing
      activities and investing activities, it provides investors with an
      indication of the ability of the Company to incur and service debt, to
      make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs. The Company
      computes Funds from Operations in accordance with standards established by
      NAREIT which may not be comparable to Funds from Operations reported by
      other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current
      NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition
      differently than the Company. Funds from Operations does not represent
      cash generated from operating activities determined by GAAP and should not
      be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance
      with GAAP) as an indication of the Company's financial performance or to
      cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP)
      as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds
      available to fund the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make
      cash distributions. Funds from Operations may include funds that may not
      be available for management's discretionary use due to functional
      requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property
      acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties.

      The computation of Funds from Operations for FelCor LP and FelCor yields
      the same results. The following is a reconciliation between net income and

  (7) EBITDA is computed by adding net income, minority interest in FelCor LP,
      interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization
      expense, extraordinary expenses and cash distributions paid by
      unconsolidated partnerships and deducting extraordinary income and income

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
OVERVIEW
 
     FelCor is a self-administered REIT that at September 30, 1997, owned an
approximate 92.7% general partner interest in FelCor LP. At September 30, 1997,
the Company owned interests in 71 hotels with an aggregate of 17,486 rooms and
suites ("Hotels"). For additional background relating to the Company and the
definitions of certain capitalized terms used herein, reference is made to Note
1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FelCor appearing elsewhere
herein.
 
     The principal factors affecting the Company's results of operations are:
continued growth in the number of hotels through acquisitions; improvements in
the suite revenues measured by RevPAR and the status of renovations to hotels
acquired. Improvements in suite revenue significantly impact the Company because
the Company's principal source of revenues is lease payments by the Lessee under
the Percentage Leases. The Percentage Leases are computed as a percentage of
suite revenues, food and beverage revenues and food and beverage rents of the
Hotels. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995, the portion of the Percentage Lease revenue derived
from suite revenues was 97.3%, 97.2% and 97.6%, respectively.
 
     At September 30, 1997, the Company owned interests in 71 hotels, an
increase of 28 hotels over year end 1996 and an increase of 51 hotels over year
end 1995.
 
     During 1996 and 1997, the Company substantially completed major renovations
on the 18 CSS Hotels acquired in late 1995 and early 1996. While the renovations
adversely impacted the suite revenue for these hotels in 1996, RevPAR for those
hotels during the first nine months of 1997 improved 22.0% over the same period
last year.
 
   
     Actual historical results of operations, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and
the period from July 28, 1994 (inception of operations) through December 31,
1994 for FelCor LP are summarized as follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
   
  FELCOR LP -- ACTUAL
    
 
   
     Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
    
 
   
     Revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, FelCor LP
had revenues of $128.7 million and $75.0 million, respectively, consisting of
Percentage Lease revenues of $122.7 million and $72.6 million, income in
unconsolidated partnerships of $5.8 million and $1.4 million and other revenue
(consisting primarily of interest income) of $283,000 and $937,000,
respectively. Percentage Lease revenue is computed as a percentage of suite
revenue, food and beverage revenues and food and beverage rents of the Hotels.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, 97.3% of Percentage Lease revenue
was derived from suite revenue. A more detailed discussion of hotel suite
revenue begins at "The Hotels -- Actual" section of this Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
    
 
   
     The increase in Percentage Lease revenue is attributed primarily to the
increased number of hotels owned at September 30, 1997 compared to the same
period in 1996 and increased suite revenue at the comparable hotels (those
hotels owned for the entire nine months in both 1996 and 1997). The increase in
the number of hotels accounted for approximately $43.0 million of the increase
(86%) while Percentage Lease revenue for the nineteen comparable hotels
increased by $7.1 million (14%).
    
 
   
     Suite revenue for the Original Hotels and the CSS Hotels increased 9.3% and
21.4%, respectively, for this nine month period.
    
 
   
     The increase in income from unconsolidated partnerships is primarily
attributed to the increase in unconsolidated partnership hotels from five hotels
at September 30, 1996 to 14 at September 30, 1997.
    
 
   
     Expenses. Total expenses increased $40.8 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from $35.3 million to $76.1 million over the same period in
1996. The primary components of the dollar increase are: depreciation; taxes,
insurance and other; and interest expense. The primary reason for this increase
is related to the increased number of hotels owned by the Company. Those
expenses that made up the majority of the increase, as a percentage of total
revenue, were depreciation (27.9% of total revenue for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to 23.8% in the same period 1996), and interest
expense (15.6% of total revenue in 1997 compared to 8.4% in 1996).
    
 
   
     Depreciation, as a percentage of total revenue, increased primarily as a
result of the major renovation projects which were placed in service and started
depreciating in late 1996 or early 1997.
    
 
                                       38
<PAGE>   46
 
   
     The increased interest expense, as a percentage of total revenue, is
reflective of the additional borrowings during the end of 1996 and first nine
months of 1997 to finance hotel acquisitions and the renovation program.
    
 
   
     Preferred distributions increased from $4.8 million for the nine months in
1996 to $8.8 million for the same period in 1997. This increased because the
preferred units, which were issued in May 1996, accrued a full nine months of
distributions in 1997.
    
 
   
     Net income applicable to unitholders for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 and 1996 was $43.8 million and $32.6 million respectively.
    
 
   
     Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
    
 
   
     Revenues. For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, FelCor LP had
revenues of $100.9 million and 26.0 million, respectively, consisting primarily
of Percentage Lease revenues of $98.0 million and $23.8 million.
    
 
   
     The 288% increase in total revenue is primarily attributable to the
Company's acquisition and subsequent leasing, pursuant to Percentage Leases, of
36 hotels acquired during 1995 and 1996. There were seven hotels which were
owned for all of 1996 and 1995. Percentage Lease revenues for these hotels
increased 13.9% for the year ended December 31, 1996 over the same period in
1995 (an increase of $2.7 million). All of these hotels experienced increases in
RevPAR, ranging from 2.3% to 12.1% over the prior year.
    
 
   
     Management believes that the hotels it acquires will generally experience
increases in suite revenue (and accordingly, provide the Company with increases
in Percentage Lease revenues) after the completion of the renovation and upgrade
programs; however, as individual hotels undergo such renovations, their
performance has been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by such
temporary factors as suites out of service and disruptions of hotel operations.
See "-- The Hotels -- Actual."
    
 
   
     Expenses. Total expenses increased by $41.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996 from $10.7 million in 1995 to $52.1 million in 1996. The
primary components of this increase were: depreciation; taxes, insurance and
other; and interest. The primary reason for the increases are attributed to the
additional hotels acquired in 1996 and 1995.
    
 
   
     Depreciation increased as a percentage of total revenue from 20% in 1995 to
26% in 1996. The relative increase in depreciation is primarily a result of
capital expenditures during 1995 and 1996 and the resultant depreciation as well
as a decrease in long lived fixed assets relative to total fixed assets (long
lived fixed assets at December 31, 1996 made up 81.7% of total fixed assets and
at December 31, 1995 84.7% of total fixed assets).
    
 
   
     Taxes, insurance and other increased as a percentage of total revenue from
10% in 1995 to 14% in 1996. The largest single component in this category is
real and personal property taxes. In many instances upon purchase of a hotel,
the hotel is reassessed for tax purposes resulting in increased property tax
expenses.
    
 
   
     Interest expense increased as a percentage of total revenue from 8% in 1995
to 10% in 1996. This relative increase is attributed to the increased use of
debt to finance acquisitions, the extensive renovations in 1996 and the
assumption of capital leases, for hotels purchased in late 1995 and during 1996.
    
 
   
     In the third quarter of 1996, FelCor LP recorded an extraordinary charge
for the write off of deferred financing fees of $2.4 million. This extraordinary
write off resulted from the early retirement of debt.
    
 
   
    Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 1995 and the Period from July 28,
    1994 (Inception of Operations) through December 31, 1994
    
 
   
     Percentage Lease revenue increased from $6.0 million in 1994 to $23.8
million in 1995, primarily because of the partial year of operations in 1994 and
the increase in the number of hotels in which the Company owned an interest
(from seven to 20). Net income as a percent of total revenues increased from
54.7% in 1994 to 59.0% in 1995, primarily as a result of the decline in
depreciation, as a percentage of total revenues, from 23.8% in 1994 to 20.1% in
1995. The decrease in depreciation, as a percentage of total revenues, resulted
    
 
                                       39
<PAGE>   47
 
   
primarily from the relative increase in Percentage Lease revenue to depreciation
with respect to the seven hotels acquired in 1994 and a decrease in the
percentage of long lived fixed assets relative to total fixed assets.
    
 
   
  FELCOR -- ACTUAL
    
 
     Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
 
   
     Revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, FelCor had
revenues of $128.7 million and $75.0 million, respectively, consisting of
Percentage Lease revenues of $122.7 million and $72.6 million, income in
unconsolidated partnerships of $5.8 million and $1.4 million and other revenue
(consisting primarily of interest income) of $283,000 and $937,000,
respectively. Percentage Lease revenue is computed as a percentage of suite
revenue, food and beverage revenues and food and beverage rents of the Hotels.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, 97.3% of Percentage Lease revenue
was derived from suite revenue. A more detailed discussion of hotel suite
revenue begins at "The Hotels -- Actual" section of this Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
    
 
     The increase in Percentage Lease revenue is attributed primarily to the
increased number of hotels owned at September 30, 1997 compared to the same
period in 1996 and increased suite revenue at the comparable hotels (those
hotels owned for the entire nine months in both 1996 and 1997). The increase in
the number of hotels accounted for approximately $43.0 million of the increase
(86%) while Percentage Lease revenue for the nineteen comparable hotels
increased by $7.1 million (14%).
 
     Suite revenue for the Original Hotels and the CSS Hotels increased 9.3% and
21.4%, respectively, for this nine month period.
 
     The increase in income from unconsolidated partnerships is primarily
attributed to the increase in unconsolidated partnership hotels from five hotels
at September 30, 1996 to 14 at September 30, 1997.
 
   
     Expenses. Total expenses increased $40.7 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from $39.9 million to $80.6 million over the same period in
1996. The primary components of the dollar increase are: depreciation; taxes,
insurance and other; and interest expense. The primary reason for this increase
is related to the increased number of hotels owned by the Company. Those
expenses that made up the majority of the increase, as a percentage of total
revenue, were depreciation (27.9% of total revenue for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to 23.8% in the same period 1996), and interest
expense (15.6% of total revenue in 1997 compared to 8.4% in 1996).
    
 
     Depreciation, as a percentage of total revenue, increased primarily as a
result of the major renovation projects which were placed in service and started
depreciating in late 1996 or early 1997.
 
     The increased interest expense, as a percentage of total revenue, is
reflective of the additional borrowings during the end of 1996 and first nine
months of 1997 to finance hotel acquisitions and the renovation program.
 
     Minority interest in FelCor LP decreased as a percentage of total revenue
because of the additional 14.2 million shares of common stock issued during
1997, which decreases the Unitholders' interest in the operations of FelCor LP.
 
     Preferred dividends increased from $4.8 million for the nine months in 1996
to $8.8 million for the same period in 1997. This increased because the
preferred stock, which was issued in May 1996, accrued a full nine months of
dividends in 1997.
 
     Net income applicable to common shareholders for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 was $39.2 million and $28.0 million respectively.
 
     Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
 
   
     Revenues. For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, FelCor had
revenues of $100.9 million and 26.0 million, respectively, consisting primarily
of Percentage Lease revenues of $98.0 million and $23.8 million.

     The 288% increase in total revenue is primarily attributable to the
Company's acquisition and subsequent leasing, pursuant to Percentage Leases, of
36 hotels acquired during 1995 and 1996. There were seven hotels which were
owned for all of 1996 and 1995. Percentage Lease revenues for these hotels
increased 13.9% for the year ended December 31, 1996 over the same period in
1995 (an increase of $2.7 million). All of these hotels experienced increases in
RevPAR, ranging from 2.3% to 12.1% over the prior year.
 
     Management believes that the hotels it acquires will generally experience
increases in suite revenue (and accordingly, provide the Company with increases
in Percentage Lease revenues) after the completion of the renovation and upgrade
programs; however, as individual hotels undergo such renovations, their
performance has been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by such
temporary factors as suites out of service and disruptions of hotel operations.
See "-- The Hotels -- Actual."
 
     Expenses. Total expenses increased by $43.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996 from $13.8 million in 1995 to $57.7 million in 1996. The
primary components of this increase were: depreciation; taxes, insurance and
other; and interest. The primary reason for the increases are attributed to the
additional hotels acquired in 1996 and 1995.
 
     Depreciation increased as a percentage of total revenue from 20% in 1995 to
26% in 1996. The relative increase in depreciation is primarily a result of
capital expenditures during 1995 and 1996 and the resultant depreciation as well
as a decrease in long lived fixed assets relative to total fixed assets (long
lived fixed assets at December 31, 1996 made up 81.7% of total fixed assets and
at December 31, 1995 84.7% of total fixed assets).
 
     Taxes, insurance and other increased as a percentage of total revenue from
10% in 1995 to 14% in 1996. The largest single component in this category is
real and personal property taxes. In many instances upon purchase of a hotel,
the hotel is reassessed for tax purposes resulting in increased property tax
expenses.
 
     Interest expense increased as a percentage of total revenue from 8% in 1995
to 10% in 1996. This relative increase is attributed to the increased use of
debt to finance acquisitions, the extensive renovations in 1996 and the
assumption of capital leases, for hotels purchased in late 1995 and during 1996.
 
   
     In the third quarter of 1996, FelCor recorded an extraordinary charge for
the write off of deferred financing fees of $2.4 million. This extraordinary
write off resulted from the early retirement of debt.
    
 
    Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 1995 and the Period from July 28,
    1994 (Inception of Operations) through December 31, 1994
 
     Percentage Lease revenue increased from $6.0 million in 1994 to $23.8
million in 1995, primarily because of the partial year of operations in 1994 and
the increase in the number of hotels in which the Company owned an interest
(from seven to 20). Income before minority interest as a percent of total
revenues increased from 54.7% in 1994 to 59.0% in 1995, primarily as a result of
the decline in depreciation, as a percentage of total revenues, from 23.8% in
1994 to 20.1% in 1995. The decrease in depreciation, as a percentage of total
revenues, resulted primarily from the relative increase in Percentage Lease
revenue to depreciation with respect to the seven hotels acquired in 1994 and a
decrease in the percentage of long lived fixed assets relative to total fixed
assets.
 
  FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
 
     The Company considers funds from operations to be a key measure of a REIT's
performance and should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to,
net income and cash flow as a measure of the Company's operating performance and
liquidity.
 
   
     The White Paper on Funds from Operations approved by the Board of Governors
of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") in March
1995 defines Funds from Operations as net income (loss) (computed in accordance
with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of
properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after
comparable adjustments for the Company's portion of these items related to
unconsolidated partnerships and joint
    
 
                                       41

ventures. The Company believes that Funds from Operations is helpful to
investors as a measure of the performance of any equity REIT because, along with
cash flow from operating activities, financing activities and investing
activities, it provides investors with an indication of the ability of the
Company to incur and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to fund
other cash needs. The Company computes Funds from Operations in accordance with
standards established by NAREIT which may not be comparable to Funds from
Operations reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance
with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT
definition differently than the Company. Funds from Operations does not
represent cash generated from operating activities determined by GAAP and should
not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with
GAAP) as an indication of the Company's financial performance or to cash flow
from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of
the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the
Company's cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. Funds
from Operations may include funds that may not be available for management's
discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital
expenditures and property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties.
 
     The computation of Funds from Operations for FelCor LP and FelCor yields
the same results. The following is a reconciliation between net income and Funds
from Operations.

     Suite revenue from the 71 Hotels, included without regard to ownership,
increased 8.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from the same period
of 1996. The Original Hotels increased 9.3%, the CSS Hotels increased 21.4%, the
1996 Acquisition Hotels increased 7.3% and the 1997 Acquisition Hotels increased
1.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period
of 1996.
 
     The Original Hotels were owned by the Company throughout all of the first
nine months of both 1997 and 1996. Suite revenue for these hotels increased $5.5
million over the same period in 1996. This improvement in suite revenue resulted
from increased ADR of 7.0%. The hotels in this group recorded increases in ADR
ranging from 2.5% to 12.5%. The increases in ADR at these hotels are attributed
to the strength of the markets that these hotels are in as well as aggressive
rate management.
 
     For the first nine months of 1997 compared to the first nine months of 1996
the CSS Hotels experienced an increase in ADR of 12.1% to $115.67 and a 6.1
percentage point increase in occupancy to 74.5%. The strength of the improvement
in the CSS Hotels is partially reflective of the $54 million suite renovation
program that was completed in the first quarter of 1997. This program made
substantial upgrades and improvements to these former CSS Hotels. This group of
hotels were also converted to the Embassy Suites (16) or Doubletree Guest Suites
(2) brand during 1996. The increase in both occupancy and ADR is also
attributable in part, to the stronger marketing presence of the Embassy Suites
and Doubletree Guest Suites brands.
 
     The 1996 Acquisition hotels increased ADR by 5.3% to $118.69 and occupancy
increased 1.6 percentage points which resulted in suite revenue increases for
these hotels of $4.7 million in the first nine months of 1997 compared to the
same period in 1996. Some of the 1996 Acquisition Hotels benefitted from suite
renovations completed in 1996 or during the first quarter of 1997. The Company
has committed to reserving 4% of suite revenue for ongoing capital replacements
and improvements for all of its hotels, in addition to making repair and
maintenance expenditures and any necessary renovations for hotels acquired.
Typically, the Lessee spends 5% to 6% of suite revenue for repair and
maintenance expenditures annually.
 
     The 1997 Acquisition hotels collectively, increased ADR by 4.8% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period of 1996.
Certain of the individual 1997 Acquisition hotels, however, had decreases in ADR
and/or occupancy for such comparable periods. These decreases are primarily the
result of temporary declines attributed to disruptions from the rebranding,
repositioning and/or renovation of certain hotels and, in the case of those
hotels located in Atlanta, Georgia, decreased demand in 1997 compared to 1996
due to the 1996 Summer Olympics which were held in Atlanta.

     Comparison of the Hotels' Suite Revenue for the Years Ended December 31,
     1996 and 1995
 
     The following table presents comparative information with respect to suite
revenue, occupancy, ADR and revenue per available suite for the six Initial
Hotels, the seven Pre-CSS Hotels, the 18 CSS Hotels and the 12 1996
Acquisitions, regardless of ownership. The following figures reflect the adverse
impact of the loss of nearly 173,000 available suite nights (approximately 5.5%
of total available suite nights for the year) as a result of the temporary
removal of suites from service for renovation and upgrading during 1996. The
variance for suite revenue and RevPAR for the Hotels, as set forth above, do not
agree primarily because the leap year in 1996 added one additional day.

     Pro forma revenues for the 43 hotels that the Company owned at December 31,
1996, increased 5.3% over 1995. The majority of the increase came from the
Pre-CSS Hotels (10.4%) and the Initial Hotels (9.0%). The CSS Hotels had only a
slight increase in suite revenue (3.4%) as did the 1996 Acquisitions (4.0%)
primarily as a result of the commencement of major renovations in the CSS Hotels
and some of the 1996 Acquisitions. As a result of these renovations, the Company
lost nearly 173,000 available suite nights, or 5.5% of the total available suite
nights for the year.
 
     The Initial Hotels and the Pre-CSS Hotels experienced increases in both
occupied suites, as a percentage of available suites (including those
temporarily out of service for renovation) and ADR over the prior year. The CSS
Hotels increased ADR by 5.7% but dropped in occupancy by 1.8 percentage points.
Similarly the 1996 Acquisitions increased ADR by 6.7% but dropped in occupancy
by 2.2 percentage points.
 
     The CSS Hotels revenues were adversely affected by the suites taken out of
service during 1996 for renovation. During 1996 the Company took more than
153,000 suite nights out of service in the CSS Hotels for renovation, this
represents more than 9% of the total available suite nights for these hotels.
This renovation adversely impacted the ADR at the hotels because of the
disruptions caused by the renovation and the occupancy was adversely impacted by
reducing the number of suites actually available. During the fourth quarter of
1996, the 10 CSS Hotels where renovations had been substantially completed by
early in the fourth quarter experienced an increase in suite revenue in excess
of 15% compared to the same period in 1995. Management believes that similar
increases in suite revenue should occur in 1997 for the CSS Hotels as the
renovations had been substantially completed by year end 1996.
 
     The Company expects that the Initial Hotels and the Pre-CSS Hotels should
continue increased suite revenue growth in 1997. The CSS Hotels should start to
benefit from the extensive renovation that was substantially completed in 1996,
and show solid revenue growth in 1997. The 1996 Acquisitions should also start
to benefit from renovations (many of which began in 1996) and show improving
suite revenue during 1997.
 
  THE LESSEE -- ACTUAL
 
     Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
 
     Total revenues increased from $194.4 million in the first nine months of
1996 to $380.7 million for the same period of 1997. The primary reasons for this
increase are the number of hotels operated by the Lessee which increased from 41
hotels at September 30, 1996 to 71 hotels at September 30, 1997 and the
increases in revenues at the hotels owned in both the first nine months of 1997
and 1996. Percentage Lease expense, property operating costs, and other hotel
expenses increased in the first nine months of 1997 compared to the same period
of 1996 and relate primarily to the increased number of hotels operated by the
Lessee. The increase in percentage lease expense is also attributable in part to
the increase in the suite revenues. The Lessee had net losses of $1.6 and $2.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Except as otherwise noted, each of such hotels is operated as an Embassy Suites
hotel.
 
     Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
 
     For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Lessee had revenues of
$269.2 million and $72.6 million respectively, consisting primarily of suite
revenues of $234.5 million and $65.6 million.
 
                                       47
<PAGE>   55
 
     The 271% increase in total revenue is primarily attributable to the
increase in number of hotels leased, from 20 hotels at December 31, 1995 to 43
hotels at December 31, 1996. There were seven hotels which were leased for all
of 1996 and 1995. Suite revenues for these hotels increased 9.0% for the year
ended December 31, 1996 over the same period in 1995 (an increase of $4.3
million). All of these hotels experienced increases in suite revenue, ranging
from 2.6% to 12.5% over the prior year.
 
     The Lessee recorded a net loss of $5.4 million for 1996, compared to a net
loss of $240,000 for 1995. The increased loss is reflected in the relative
increase in Percentage Lease expenses, from 37.1% of total revenue in 1995 to
40.1% of total revenue in 1996. Since Percentage Lease expense is principally
computed as a percentage of suite revenue, the losses of suite revenue from the
renovation and conversion of the CSS hotels (through suites taken out of service
and disruptions from the renovation) resulted in a larger portion of the
Percentage Lease expense to be fixed in nature and therefore increased as a
percentage of total revenue. The Lessee also incurred approximately $2.2 million
in one-time conversion costs related to the CSS Hotels.
 
     Year Ended December 31, 1995
 
   
     For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Lessee had suite revenue of $65.5
million. The Percentage Lease payments, hotel expenses and operating expenses
were $26.9 million, $18.5 million and $26.6 million respectively, and net loss
was $240,000. The Lessee distributed approximately $200,000 to two of its
shareholders in 1995 and these shareholders purchased shares of Common Stock of
FelCor in an amount equal to such distributions.
    
 
     Period from July 28, 1994 (Inception of Operations) through December 31,
     1994
 
   
     For the period July 28, 1994 (inception of operations) through December 31,
1994 the Lessee had suite revenue of $16.1 million. The Percentage Lease
payments, hotel expenses and operating expenses were $6.0 million, $4.7 million
and $7.3 million, respectively, and net income was $109,000. The Lessee
distributed approximately $443,000 to its shareholders in 1994 and these
shareholders purchased shares of common stock of FelCor in an amount equal to
such distributions.
    
 
     Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 1995 and the Period from July 28,
     1994 (Inception of Operations) through December 31, 1994
 
     Total revenues increased 297% from 1994 to 1995, primarily because of the
partial year of operations in 1994 and the increase in the number of hotels
leased (from seven to 20). The Lessee recorded a net loss of $240,000 for 1995,
compared to net income of $109,000 in 1994, primarily as a result of the
relative increase in Percentage Lease payments, as a percentage of total
revenues, from 33.0% in 1994 to 37.1% in 1995, offset (in part) by a decline in
all other expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, from 66.4% in 1994 to
63.2% in 1995.
 
RENOVATIONS AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
 
     The Company believes that one factor that differentiates it from many other
hotel companies is its commitment to make the necessary capital expenditures on
its hotels to maintain them and improve them to the Company's high standards.
This is approached in three ways: annual investments of a minimum of 4% of suite
revenue for capital improvements; an aggressive renovation and upgrade program
for hotels acquired to bring them up to Company standards; and the construction
of additional suites, meeting rooms and public areas where market conditions
indicate.
 
  Renovations
 
     The Company committed approximately $70 million during 1996 to the upgrade
and renovation of the CSS Hotels and the wholly owned 1996 Acquisitions. At
September 30, 1997, the Company had spent approximately $57 million on the CSS
Hotels renovations and upgrades. Additionally, in 1996 the Company spent
approximately $3 million on renovations to hotels owned prior to the purchase of
the CSS Hotels.
 
                                       48
<PAGE>   56
 
  Room Additions
 
     In 1996, the Company completed the addition of an aggregate of 48 suites at
its hotels in Flagstaff, Arizona and New Orleans, Louisiana at an approximate
cost of $5.3 million, and at July 1, 1997, the Company added a net of 129
suites, additional meeting rooms and other public area upgrades at its Boston --
Marlborough, Massachusetts hotel with a completion cost of approximately $15.8
million. Additionally, an aggregate of 224 additional suites are currently in
the process of development at three of the Company's existing hotels at an
aggregate estimated cost of approximately $20.5 million.
 
  Capital Improvements
 
     It is the Company's policy to invest approximately 4% of suite revenue on
annual capital improvements at its hotels. These investments are in addition to
the previously discussed renovations and room additions. During 1996 the Company
spent approximately $9.2 million on these type capital expenditures totaling
4.3% of suite revenue of company owned hotels. These investments also are in
addition to the 5% to 6% of suite revenue spent by the Lessee for repair and
maintenance expenditures annually.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     The Company's principal source of cash to meet its cash requirements,
including repayments of Indebtedness, is its cash flow from the Percentage
Leases. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, cash flow provided by
operating activities, consisting primarily of Percentage Lease revenue, was
$74.6 million and funds from operations assuming the conversion of preferred
stock, which is the sum of net income, minority interest, and depreciation of
real property (including furniture and equipment), was $95.5 million. The
Lessee's obligations under the Percentage Leases are unsecured. The Lessee's
ability to make lease payments under the Percentage Leases and the Company's
liquidity, including repayments of Indebtedness, are substantially dependent on
the ability of the Lessee to generate sufficient cash flow from the operation of
the Hotels.
 
     At September 30, 1997, the Lessee had paid all amounts then due FelCor LP
under the Percentage Leases. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
the Lessee realized a net loss of $1.6 million. The Lessee's accumulated
shareholders' deficit of $8.0 million at September 30, 1997 resulted primarily
from losses during 1996 as a consequence of the one-time costs of converting the
CSS Hotels to the Embassy Suites and Doubletree Guest Suites brands and the
substantial number of suite nights lost during 1996 due to renovation. It is
anticipated that a substantial portion of any future profits of the Lessee will
be retained until a positive shareholders' equity is restored. Although it is
currently anticipated that the Lessee will sustain a loss during 1997, it is
anticipated that its future earnings will be sufficient to enable it to continue
to make its lease payments under the Percentage Leases when due.
 
     Minority equity interest in two of DJONT's consolidated subsidiaries,
relating to an aggregate of 15 Hotels, are held by unrelated third parties that
also own an equity interest in such Hotels. Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran, such
unrelated third party owners, and the managers of certain of the Hotels have
agreed, directly or through their affiliates, to make loans to the Lessee of up
to an aggregate of approximately $15.4 million, to the extent necessary to
enable the Lessee to pay rent and other obligations due under the respective
Percentage Leases relating to a total of 32 of the Hotels. Amounts so borrowed
by the Lessee, if any, will be subordinate in right of repayment to the prior
payment in full of rent and other obligations due under the Percentage Leases to
such Hotels. No loans were outstanding under such agreements at September 30,
1997.
 
     The Company intends to acquire additional hotels and may incur indebtedness
to make such acquisitions, or to meet distribution requirements imposed on a
REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, to the extent that working capital and
cash flow from the Company's investments are insufficient to make such
distributions.
 
   
     At September 30, 1997, the Company had $18.9 million of cash and cash
equivalents and had utilized $296 million of the amount available under the
Company's $550 million unsecured revolving Line of Credit. On October 1, 1997,
FelCor LP placed $300 million in long term senior unsecured private placement
debt.
    
 
                                       49
<PAGE>   57
 
   
This senior unsecured private placement debt, bears interest at 7 3/8% for the
notes due 2004, and 7 5/8% for notes due 2007.
    
 
     To manage the relative mix of its debt between fixed and variable rate
instruments, the Company has entered into two separate interest rate swap
agreements. These interest rate swap agreements modify a portion of the interest
characteristics of the Company's outstanding debt without an exchange of the
underlying principal amount and effectively convert variable rate debt to a
fixed rate. The fixed rates to be paid, the effective fixed rate, and the
initial variable rate to be received by the Company at September 30, 1997 are
summarized in the following table:

     After application of the $300 million senior unsecured privately placed
debt, and taking into consideration the $75 million in interest rate swaps, the
Company has reduced its variable rate debt to about 10% of total debt
outstanding. The fixed rate debt held by the Company bears interest at a
weighted average rate of 7.6%.
 
     The differences to be paid or received by the Company under the terms of
the interest rate swap agreements are accrued as interest rates change and
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense by the Company pursuant to the
terms of its interest rate agreement and will have a corresponding effect on its
future cash flows. Agreements such as these contain a credit risk that the
counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreement. The Company
minimizes that risk by evaluating the creditworthiness of its counterparties,
which are limited to major banks and financial institutions, and does not
anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.
 
   
     To provide for additional flexibility, FelCor has registered up to an
aggregate of $1.0 billion in common stock, preferred stock, debt securities
and/or common stock warrants pursuant to two shelf registration statements. One
shelf registration statement, for $500 million, was declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission during 1996 and the second shelf registration
statement, for $500 million, was declared effective during the second quarter of
1997. The terms and conditions of the stock or debt securities issued thereunder
are determined by FelCor based upon market conditions at the time of issuance. A
total of 6,050,000 shares of preferred stock at $25.00 per share were issued in
the second quarter of 1996 and 3,000,000 shares of common stock at $35.50 were
issued during the first quarter of 1997 pursuant to the shelf registration
declared effective in 1996 leaving approximately $242.3 million available under
that shelf registration. With regard to the shelf registration declared
effective in 1997, FelCor issued 11,200,000 shares of common stock at $36.625
leaving approximately $89.8 million available under that shelf registration. On
October 22, 1997 a Special Meeting of Shareholders approved an amendment to
FelCor's Charter increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from
50 million shares to 100 million shares. The amendment was adopted by the
affirmative vote of shareholders owning more than 77% of the shares of common
stock outstanding at the close of business on September 8, 1997.
    
 
     The Company completed construction and placed into service on July 1, 1997,
129 net additional suites, meeting rooms and other public area upgrades at its
Boston -- Marlborough, Massachusetts hotel at a cost of $15.9 million. The
Company is constructing an additional 67 suites at its Jacksonville, Florida
hotel and 67 additional suites at its Orlando (North), Florida hotel at an
aggregate projected cost of $10.2 million with an expected completion in early
1998.
 
     The Company's cash flow from financing activities of approximately $571.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 resulted from the
following: The sale of an aggregate of 14.2 million shares of common stock with
net proceeds of $448.0 million; (3.0 million shares in the first quarter of 1997
at $35.50 per share and 11.2 million shares at September 30, 1997 at $36.625)
net of 1.2 million shares of common stock repurchased from Promus; net
borrowings under the Company's line of credit of $180.1 million; distributions

paid to common shareholders, preferred shareholders and limited partners of
$57.0 million; and proceeds from the exercise of stock options by former
employees of $592,000.
 
IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
 
     The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to the define the applicable year. Any computer
program that has date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the
year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage
in similar normal business activities.
 
     The Company has recently assessed its internal computer systems and
believes that the current systems used will properly utilize dates beyond
December 31, 1999. The Company has been informed that companies that manage the
hotels owned by the Company are in the process of studying the Year 2000 issue,
including inquiries of their vendors. Upon the completion of the management
companies' study, which is expected in late 1998, the Company will determine the
extent to which the Company is vulnerable to third parties' failure to remediate
their own Year 2000 issues and the costs associated with resolving this issue.
 
INFLATION
 
     Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates
periodically to reflect the effects of inflation. Competitive pressures may,
however, limit the Lessee's ability to raise room rates.
 
SEASONALITY
 
     The Hotels' operations historically have been seasonal in nature,
reflecting higher occupancy rates primarily during the first three quarters of
each year. This seasonality can be expected to cause fluctuations in the
Company's quarterly lease revenue, particularly during the fourth quarter, to
the extent that it receives Percentage Rent. To the extent cash flow from
operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal
fluctuations in lease revenue, the Company expects to utilize other cash on hand
or borrowings under the Line of Credit to make distributions to its shareholders
or to make payments on the Notes.
 
RECENTLY ISSUED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
     During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"), No.
129 "Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure" ("SFAS 129"), No. 130
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), and No. 131 "Disclosures About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"), all of which
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
 
     SFAS 128 specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure
requirements for earnings per share. SFAS 129 establishes standards for
disclosing information about an entity's capital structure such as information
about securities, liquidation preference of preferred stock and redeemable
stock. SFAS 130 specifies the presentation and disclosure requirements for
reporting comprehensive income which includes those items which have been
formerly reported as a component of shareholders' equity. SFAS 131 establishes
the disclosure requirements for reporting segment information.
 
     Management believes that, when adopted, SFAS 128, 129, 130 and 131 will not
have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

THE INDUSTRY
 
     The United States hotel industry has experienced significant improvement in
the past five years. According to Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. Hospitality
Directions, after a period of extended unprofitability in the late 1980's and
early 1990's, lodging industry profit has increased every year from 1992 through
1996. The industry downturn in the late 1980's resulted primarily from an
increase in the supply of new hotel rooms that significantly outpaced growth in
demand. The industry began to turn around in 1991, and the percentage growth in
room demand exceeded the percentage growth in room supply from 1992 through
1996. As a result, according to Smith Travel Research, for All Upscale U.S.
Hotels (including both Upscale and Upper Upscale Hotels), occupancy increased
from 61.7% in 1991 to 68.4% in 1996, and ADR increased from $65.89 in 1991 to
$85.54 in 1996.
 
     Smith Travel Research classifies the hotel industry into six distinct
categories: Budget, Economy, Midscale, Midscale with Food & Beverage, Upscale
and Upper Upscale. All of the Company's properties are operated under brands
that are included in the Upper Upscale category. This category has experienced
relatively low levels of new construction.
 
     The following table contains information with respect to average occupancy,
ADR and RevPAR for the Current Hotels, all Embassy Suites hotels, all upscale
U.S. hotels and all U.S. hotels for the periods indicated.

BACKGROUND
 
     FelCor was formed as a Delaware corporation on May 16, 1994 and was
reincorporated as a Maryland corporation on June 23, 1995. FelCor is a self
administered equity REIT formed for the purpose of acquiring and holding
interests in hotel properties.
 
     In connection with the formation of FelCor, FelCor LP acquired the six
Initial Hotels through a merger with entities organized in 1991 and controlled
by Hervey A. Feldman and Thomas J. Corcoran, Jr. The consideration for the
acquisition consisted of (i) 1,695,146 Units, then representing approximately
26.5% of the equity interests in FelCor LP and (ii) the assumption and payment
of mortgage indebtedness and other obligations relating to the Initial Hotels of
approximately $76.0 million. The Units are exchangeable, subject to certain
limitations, for a like number of shares of the Common Stock of FelCor or for
cash, at the option of FelCor.
 
   
     To enable FelCor to qualify as a REIT, neither FelCor nor FelCor LP can
operate the hotels in which they invest. Accordingly, FelCor LP leases all of
the hotels owned by it to the Lessee, pursuant to the Percentage Leases. The
Lessee is a Delaware limited liability company, 25% of which is beneficially
owned by each of Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran, the Chairman of the Board and the
President of FelCor, respectively, and 50% of which is owned by RGC Leasing,
Inc., a Nevada corporation owned by the children of Charles N. Mathewson, a
major initial investor in the Company and a director of FelCor. It is
anticipated that additional hotels acquired by the Company will be leased to the
Lessee upon similar terms. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions"
for additional information regarding the interests of affiliates arising out of
the acquisition of the Initial Hotels, the Percentage Leases and certain other
transactions.
    
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
  Overview
 
     The Company's primary business objectives are to (i) focus on selection of
sound hotel investments, (ii) add value to its hotels through active asset
management and the strategic investment of capital, and (iii) build solid
working relationships with, and be the "owner-of-choice" for, selected premium,
full-service hotel brand owners/managers who are willing to commit to the
on-going success of the hotels they license/ manage for the Company. The Company
seeks to increase operating cash flow and, enhance its value through both
internal growth and acquisitions. The Company's internal growth strategy is to
utilize its asset management expertise to improve the quality of its hotels by
renovating, upgrading and repositioning, thereby improving the revenue
performance of the hotels, and to participate, through the Percentage Leases, in
any growth in revenues at its hotels. The Company's acquisition growth strategy
remains focused primarily upon the purchase of additional existing and a limited
number of newly developed hotels that meet the Company's investment criteria.
 
  Strategic Relationships
 
     The Company currently maintains strategic brand owner/manager relationships
with Promus, Doubletree and Sheraton. Promus and Doubletree have recently
completed the merger of their companies. The combined company will constitute
the lodging industry's third largest entity based on annual revenue. The Company
believes that this merger will increase the Company's flexibility in branding
its all suite hotels to capitalize on local market conditions and brand
representation. ITT Corporation, the parent of ITT Sheraton Corporation, has
announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to merge with Starwood
Lodging.
 
     - Promus Hotel Corporation is the largest operator of full-service,
       all-suite hotels in the United States. Promus is also the owner of the
       Embassy Suites brand and the manager of 50 of the Company's Current
       Hotels. In addition, based on the closing price of the Common Stock on
       the NYSE on September 30, 1997, Promus owned more than $55 million of the
       aggregate Common Stock of FelCor and Units of FelCor LP. The relationship
       with Promus has provided the foundation for the Company's historical
       growth.
 
                                       53
<PAGE>   61
 
     - Doubletree Hotels Corporation is the owner of the nation's second largest
       full-service, all-suite hotel brand, Doubletree Guest Suites. Doubletree
       provides hotel owners with management and franchise services under its
       Doubletree Hotels, Doubletree Guest Suites, Club Hotels by Doubletree,
       Red Lion Hotels and other brands, as well as management services for
       other non-Doubletree brand hotels. Doubletree is the manager of all of
       the 12 Current Hotels operated under the Doubletree Guest Suites brand.
 
     - ITT Sheraton Corporation is the owner of the Sheraton brand and one of
       the world's largest hotel companies, with more than 430 hotels in over 60
       countries. This newest strategic alliance, coupled with the purchase of
       six Sheraton hotels this year (including a total of four non-suite
       hotels), provided the Company with its initial entry into the upscale,
       full-service, non-suite hotel market and should provide the Company with
       opportunities for future growth.
 
     The strength of the Company's strategic relationships with the foregoing
brand owners/managers are evidenced by their (i) significant equity investments
in 15 of the Company's hotels, (ii) agreements to make subordinated loans to the
Lessee (in support of the Lessee's obligations under certain Percentage Leases
with respect to certain hotels), (iii) subordination of certain customary fees
to the Lessee's obligations under applicable Percentage Leases, (iv) grants of
certain performance-based termination rights by the managers to the Lessees, and
(v) in one case, guarantee of a $25 million loan to the Company.
 
  Internal Growth Strategy
 
   
     Beginning with the acquisition of the CSS Hotels, from the fourth quarter
of 1995 through September 30, 1997, the Company has acquired interests in 58
hotels containing an aggregate of 14,587 suites/rooms for approximately 1.4
billion, resulting in an increase in its portfolio of suites/rooms by more than
500%. The Company converted the 18 CSS Hotels to Embassy Suites hotels (16
hotels) and Doubletree Guest Suites hotels (two hotels), investing over $50
million in the complete renovation and upgrade of such hotels. As a consequence,
RevPAR of the CSS Hotels for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased
approximately 22.0% over the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Additionally,
for the 13 original hotels acquired by the Company prior to the acquisition of
the CSS Hotels, the Company achieved a 6.6% increase in RevPAR for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 over the comparable period in 1996, from $79.39
to $84.61.
    
 
  Acquisition Growth Strategy
 
     At present, the Company intends to continue to focus its acquisition
strategy with respect to individual hotels primarily upon the purchase of
full-service, upscale hotels (both all-suite and non-suite) that will fit within
one of the Company's three premium brand/owner/manager alliances with Promus,
Doubletree and Sheraton. The Company believes that it has benefitted, and will
continue to benefit, from its strong relationships with its brand
owner/managers. The Company also may construct additional suites/rooms and/ or
meeting space at certain of its hotels if market and other conditions warrant.
An aggregate of 224 additional suites are currently in the process of
development at three of the Company's existing hotels at an aggregate estimated
cost of approximately $20.5 million.
 
  Capital Strategy
 
   
     The Company intends to maintain a conservative capital structure (as
evidenced by the current debt limitation policy of the Board of Directors
described below) that enhances its access to the capital markets on favorable
terms and promotes future earnings growth. Since the IPO, FelCor has completed
five public offerings of its capital stock, raising gross proceeds of more than
$1 billion, including one public offering of convertible preferred stock that
raised $151.3 million in gross proceeds. In addition, FelCor has reduced its
payout ratio (distributions as a percentage of Funds From Operations) from 80%
for the year ended December 31, 1995 to 68% for the 12 month period ended
September 30, 1997.
    
 
   
     The Board of Directors has adopted a policy which limits the Company's
indebtedness to not more than 40% of its investment in hotel assets, at cost.
This policy may be modified by the Board of Directors at any
    
                                       54
<PAGE>   62
 
   
time. At September 30, 1997, the Company had the $550 million unsecured
revolving Line of Credit, under which it had borrowed $296 million, the
unsecured Renovation Loan of $25 million (guaranteed by Promus), the proceeds of
which were used to finance the cost of renovations to the CSS Hotels, and
approximately $1 million of other unsecured indebtedness. The Company also had
at September 30, 1997, the $85 million secured Term Loan that was repaid from
the proceeds of the Private Placement, and an additional $12 million in secured
debt. At September 30, 1997, after giving effect to the Private Placement and
the application of the proceeds therefrom, the total Indebtedness of the Company
would have been 26% of total assets and its ratio of EBITDA to interest paid for
the twelve months ended September 30, 1997 would have been 5.9 to 1. The Company
believes that its current debt limitation policy, its preference for unsecured
debt and its success in raising equity capital for expansion, demonstrate the
Company's commitment to the maintenance of a conservative but flexible capital
structure.
    
 
HOTEL PORTFOLIO
 
  Current Hotels
 
     Subsequent to the Company's formation and the concurrent acquisition of the
Initial Hotels, the Company completed the acquisition of interests in 65
additional hotels through September 30, 1997. Of the Current Hotels, the Company
owns 100% equity interests in 53 hotels, a 97% interest in the partnership that
owns one hotel, a 90% interest in partnerships that own three hotels, and a 50%
interest in separate partnerships that own 14 hotels. At September 30, 1997, 51
of the Current Hotels were operated as Embassy Suites hotels, 12 as Doubletree
Guest Suites hotels, six as Sheraton hotels, one as a Hilton Suites hotel, and
one hotel was in the process of being converted to the Embassy Suites brand. The
Current Hotels are located in 26 states. The following table provides certain
information regarding the Current Hotels:

     Of the 1997 Acquisitions, nine consist of 50% interests in unconsolidated
partnerships owning an aggregate of eight Embassy Suites hotels, bringing to 12
the number of hotels owned by joint ventures with Promus, and three consist of
90% interests in consolidated partnerships, in which Doubletree holds the
remaining 10% interest, owning an aggregate of three Doubletree Guest Suites
hotels. Of the remaining hotels acquired in 1997, three are Embassy Suites
hotels, seven are Doubletree Guest Suites hotels (including three that were
converted from other brands), and six are Sheraton hotels.
 
  Recent Acquisitions
 
     During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company acquired two additional
hotels with an aggregate of 447 suites and rooms for approximately $42.3
million. One is a traditional 309-room Sheraton Hotel in Burlington, Vermont,
which includes a conference center offering more than 30,000 square feet of
meeting space. The other is a 138-suite Doubletree Guest Suites hotel in Dayton,
Ohio. The addition of these hotels brings the Company's total hotel portfolio to
73 hotels with an aggregate of 17,933 suites and rooms located in 27 states.
 
  Other Potential Hotel Transactions
 
     The Company is in various stages of evaluation and negotiation with respect
to a number of other available hotel transactions which, if the Company were to
elect to pursue all of such transactions, could require an additional investment
by the Company of more than $300 million. Due to the preliminary status of such
negotiations and evaluations, no assurance can be given that the Company will
elect to pursue, or succeed in the completion of, any of such transactions.
 
  Hotel Renovation and Conversion
 
     The Company believes that its commitment to make the necessary capital
expenditures to upgrade and maintain its hotel properties in accordance with its
high standards differentiates it from many other hotel companies. Typically, the
Company renovates or upgrades hotels acquired by it and, in many instances,
incurs the cost of converting such hotels into national brands, like Embassy
Suites, Doubletree Guest Suites or Sheraton. The Company made capital
expenditures of approximately $52.2 million during 1996, in the conversion and
upgrade of hotels acquired by it through December 31, 1996. The majority of such
expenditures were made in connection with the complete renovation and upgrading
of the 18 CSS Hotels. The Company has incurred additional conversion and upgrade
costs of approximately $17.6 million during the first six months of 1997 with
respect to various renovation and upgrade projects. Significant additional
conversion and upgrade costs may be incurred by the Company with respect to any
additional hotels acquired by it.
 
     In addition to the conversion and upgrade costs typically incurred by the
Company in connection with newly acquired hotels, the Company is required under
the Percentage Leases to provide a capital replacement reserve, consisting of 4%
of suite revenues (on a cumulative basis), for recurring capital improvements
and replacements at its hotels. In addition to the capital expenditures made, as
described above, for the conversion and upgrade of newly acquired hotels, the
Company spent approximately $9.2 million (approximately 4.3% of suite revenues)
during 1996, and approximately $3.9 million (approximately 2.4% of suite
revenues) during the six months ended June 30, 1997, on recurring capital
replacements. In addition to such capital expenditures by the Company, the
Lessee also spent approximately $14.5 million (approximately 6.2% of suite
revenues) during 1996, and approximately $11.1 million (approximately 5.5% of
suite revenues) during the six months ended June 30, 1997, on routine
maintenance and repair of its hotels, for which the Lessee is responsible under
the Percentage Leases.

     During 1996 and the first six months of 1997, the Company completed the
construction of 17 additional suites at its Flagstaff hotel, 31 additional
suites at its New Orleans hotel, and a net of 129 suites, additional meeting
rooms and other public area improvements to its Boston-Marlborough hotel at an
aggregate cost of approximately $21.2 million. Additionally, an aggregate of 224
additional suites are currently in the process of development at three of the
Company's existing hotels, at an estimated cost of approximately $20.5 million.
 
  Embassy Suites Hotels
 
     At September 30, 1997, fifty-one of the Current Hotels were, and one was in
the process of conversion to, Embassy Suites hotels operating under franchise
licenses from Promus. Embassy Suites hotels are upscale, full-service, all-suite
hotels designed to attract frequent business travelers, leisure travelers and
weekend guests. Embassy Suites consistently achieves one of the highest guest
satisfaction ratings in the industry. Among the services and amenities typically
offered by Embassy Suites hotels are: two-room suites, with each suite
containing two telephones, a mini-refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave oven,
wet bar, and two color televisions; complimentary, full, cooked-to-order
breakfast every morning; complimentary cocktails during two hours every evening
(subject to local laws and regulations) in an atrium environment; fitness
center, indoor heated pool, sauna, whirlpool and steam room; guest laundry and
valet services; and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Restaurant, banquet, in-room
dining and lounge services are available to guests at customary rates. Embassy
Suites hotels are constructed, maintained and operated in accordance with a
comprehensive set of building, maintenance, operational, recordkeeping and
reservation system guidelines designed to ensure a uniformly high level of
service, appearance and quality. The Embassy Suites system was among the first
hotel chains to offer guests an unconditional 100% satisfaction guarantee.
 
   
     Embassy Suites, the predecessor-in-interest to Promus, was organized in
1983, and the first Embassy Suites hotel was opened in Overland Park, Kansas in
1984. Mr. Feldman, Chairman of the Board of FelCor, served as the founding
President and Chief Executive Officer of Embassy Suites from 1983 until 1990,
and as its Chairman of the Board from 1990 until January 1992. In March 1984,
Embassy Suites, Inc. acquired the 24 hotel Granada Royale Hometel(R) chain, and
converted its hotels to the Embassy Suites system during 1985. By the spring of
1986, Embassy Suites hotels were located in 20 states, making it a national
upscale all-suite chain and the largest upscale all-suite operator in the United
States. The Embassy Suites chain has continued to grow through franchising, new
hotel development and the acquisition and conversion of all-suite hotels from
other brands. From 30 hotels in 10 states at December 31, 1984, the Embassy
Suites chain has grown to 137 hotels in 35 states, the District of Columbia,
Canada, Colombia, Puerto Rico, and Thailand at August 31, 1997, making it the
largest U.S. full-service, all-suite hotel chain. Of the 137 Embassy Suites
hotels in operation at August 31, 1997, a total of 76 were being operated by
Promus as owner, lessee or manager.
    
 
  Doubletree Guest Suites Hotels
 
     Twelve of the Current Hotels are Doubletree Guest Suites hotels. The
Doubletree Guest Suites all-suite hotels comprise one of the largest all-suite
hotel chains in the United States as measured by number of suites and system
revenues. Doubletree's all-suite hotels are targeted at business travelers and
families who have a need or desire for greater space than typically is provided
at most traditional hotels. The total guest room revenue for the year ended
December 31, 1996 for Doubletree's all-suite hotels was derived approximately
45% from business travelers, 29% from group meetings and 26% from leisure
travelers.
 
     As of June 30, 1997, Doubletree's all-suite hotels included 42 Doubletree
Guest Suites hotels in 18 states and the District of Columbia, with a total of
8,987 guest rooms. The hotels range in size from 55 to 460 guest suites. Suite
rates generally range from $60 to $250 per night. Each guest suite has a
separate living room and dining/work area, with a color television, refrigerator
and wet bar.
 
     Doubletree is one of the largest full-service hotel operating companies in
the United States. As of June 30, 1997, Doubletree and its affiliates managed,
leased, or franchised 255 hotels with an aggregate of 58,578 rooms in 40 states,
the District of Columbia, Mexico, and the Caribbean. This represents a 6% and 5%
increase in number of hotels and aggregate room count, respectively, for the
first half of 1997. Doubletree provides hotel owners with management and
franchise services under its Doubletree Hotels, Doubletree Guest
 
                                       57

Suites, Club Hotels by Doubletree, Red Lion Hotels and other brands. As of June
30, 1997, Doubletree's portfolio of hotels included 101 Doubletree Hotels, 42
Doubletree Guest Suites hotels, 19 Club Hotels by Doubletree, 16 Red Lion Hotels
and 77 hotels operated by Doubletree under third party brand names or as
independent hotels.
 
  Sheraton Hotels
 
     Two of the Current Hotels are Sheraton Suites hotels. Sheraton Suites
hotels typically offer two-room suites, each with a wet bar, refrigerator,
microwave, coffee maker and two televisions. Restaurant, lounge, swimming pool
and fitness center facilities are also typically available to guests. Four of
the Current Hotels are full-service upscale Sheraton hotels. While each of these
hotels offers some suite accommodations, the substantial percentage of the
accommodations are non-suite rooms. Sheraton hotels generally offer numerous
amenities and facilities, such as multiple restaurants, banquet and meeting
space, recreational facilities (including indoor and/or outdoor pools and
fitness centers) and business centers.
 
     Sheraton Hotels, including Sheraton Suites, are part of Sheraton Hotels &
Resorts, the upscale brand segment operated and franchised by ITT Sheraton
Corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ITT Corporation. ITT Sheraton
Corporation owns, leases, manages and/or franchises over 430 luxury, upscale and
mid-scale hotels, having over 135,000 guest rooms, in over 60 countries. In the
upscale segment, which includes Sheraton hotels, Sheraton owns, leases, manages
and franchises approximately 290 properties with approximately 105,000 rooms.
Sheraton's origins date back to 1937 and its history includes many firsts in the
hospitality industry, including the first hotel chain to be listed on the NYSE,
the first chain to centralize and automate the reservations function and the
first to develop a toll-free 800-number system for direct consumer access.
 
  Other All-Suite Hotels
 
     The Company also owns one Hilton Suites hotel. Hilton Suites is one of the
brands operated and franchised by Hilton Hotels Corporation. Hilton Suites
hotels provide a private bedroom and separate living room with amenities that
include a second television with a video cassette player, wet bar with
microwave, mini-refrigerator and coffee maker. In addition, a complimentary
prepared-to-order breakfast and evening beverage reception are offered daily.
 
HOTEL OPERATIONS
 
     At September 30, 1997, 50 of the Current Hotels were being managed by
Promus, 12 were being managed by Doubletree, six were being managed by Sheraton
and three were being managed by independent professional management companies.
 
     During 1996, the ADR at the Current Hotels increased by approximately 7.2%
which, when combined with a decline in occupancy of approximately 0.4 percentage
points, resulted in an increase in RevPAR of 6.5%. These figures reflect the
adverse impact of the loss of nearly 173,000 available suite nights
(approximately 2.7% of total available suite nights for the year) as a result of
the temporary removal of suites from service for renovation and upgrading during
1996. The performance of the CSS Hotels and certain of the other hotels acquired
during 1996, which underwent substantial renovation and upgrading during the
year, substantially offset the improved performance of the other Current Hotels,
which experienced an increase in RevPAR during 1996 of approximately 8.5% over
1995.

</TABLE>
 
  Lease Terms
 
     Each of the Current Hotels is leased to the Lessee pursuant to a Percentage
Lease generally having a term of 10 years and providing for rent equal to the
greater of Base Rent or Percentage Rent. The terms of each Percentage Lease are
approved by FelCor's Independent Directors, including the Percentage Rent terms
that are typically 17% of suite revenue up to a tier amount (the "Suite Revenue
Breakpoint") and 65% of suite revenue in excess of the Suite Revenue Breakpoint.
Each Percentage Lease also requires the Lessee to pay as rent 5% of the food and
beverage revenues from each Current Hotel in which the restaurant and bar
operations are conducted directly by the Lessee and 98% of the food and beverage
rent revenues from each Current Hotel in which the restaurant and bar operations
are subleased by the Lessee to an unrelated third party.
 
     The amount of Base Rent and of the Suite Revenue Breakpoint in each
Percentage Lease formula is subject to adjustment, annually, based upon a
formula taking into account changes in the Consumer Price Index over the
preceding two years; however, the adjustment in any year may not exceed 7%. An
adjustment of 0.73% was effective January 1, 1996 for the 10 hotels acquired by
the Company prior to July 1, 1995 and an adjustment of 1.42% will be effective
January 1, 1997 for the 37 Current Hotels acquired prior to July 1, 1996.
 
                                       64
<PAGE>   72
 
The adjustment is calculated at the beginning of each calendar year, for those
hotels acquired prior to July 1 of the preceding year.
 
     Maintenance and Modifications. Under the Percentage Leases, the Company is
required to maintain the underground utilities and the structural elements of
the improvements, including exterior walls (excluding plate glass) and the roof
of each leased hotel. In addition, the Percentage Leases obligate the Company to
fund periodic improvements (in addition to maintenance of structural elements)
to the buildings and grounds comprising the leased hotels, and the periodic
repair, replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment in
the leased hotels, when and as required to meet the requirements of the
applicable franchise licenses, and to establish and maintain a reserve, which is
available to the Lessee for such purposes, in an amount equal to 4% of hotel
suite revenues, on a cumulative basis. The Company's obligation is not limited
to the amount in such reserve. Otherwise, the Lessee is required, at its
expense, to maintain the leased hotels in good order and repair, except for
ordinary wear and tear, and to make nonstructural repairs, whether foreseen or
unforeseen, ordinary or extraordinary, which may be necessary and appropriate to
keep the leased hotels in good order and repair.
 
     Insurance and Property Taxes. The Company is responsible for paying real
estate and personal property taxes and property and casualty insurance premiums
on the leased hotels (except to the extent that personal property associated
with the leased hotels is owned by the Lessee). The Lessee is required to pay
for all liability insurance on the leased hotels, which must include extended
coverage, comprehensive general public liability, workers' compensation and
other insurance appropriate and customary for properties similar to the leased
hotels.
 
     Indemnification. Under each of the Percentage Leases, the Lessee will
indemnify, and will be obligated to hold harmless, the Company from and against
all liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses) incurred by, imposed upon or asserted against the Company on account
of, among other things, (i) any accident or injury to person or property on or
about the leased hotels, (ii) any misuse by the Lessee or any of its agents of
the leased hotels, (iii) any environmental liability resulting from conditions
disclosed in the environmental audits received by the Company before it acquired
the leased hotels or caused or resulting thereafter from any action or
negligence of the Lessee, (iv) taxes and assessments in respect of the leased
hotels (other than real estate and personal property taxes and any income taxes
of the Company on income attributable to the leased hotels), (v) the sale or
consumption of alcoholic beverages on or in the real property or improvements
thereon, or (vi) any breach of the Percentage Leases by the Lessee; provided,
however, that such indemnification will not be construed to require the Lessee
to indemnify the Company against its own grossly negligent acts or omissions or
willful misconduct.
 
     Assignment and Subleasing. The Lessee is not permitted to sublet all or
substantially all of any one or more of the leased hotels or to assign its
interest under any of the Percentage Leases, other than to an affiliate of the
Lessee, without the prior written consent of the Company. The Lessee may,
however, sublet space to operators of gift shops, restaurants, lounges or other
amenities at the leased hotels. No assignment or subletting will release the
Lessee from any of its obligations under the Percentage Leases.
 
     Damage to Current Hotels. In the event of damage to or destruction of any
leased hotel covered by insurance which renders the leased hotel unsuitable for
the Lessee's use and occupancy, the Lessee is generally obligated to repair,
rebuild, or restore the leased hotel or offer to acquire the leased hotel on the
terms set forth in the applicable Percentage Lease. If the Lessee rebuilds the
leased hotel, the Company is obligated to disburse to the Lessee, from time to
time and upon satisfaction of certain conditions, any insurance proceeds
actually received by the Company as a result of such damage or destruction, and
any excess costs of repair or restoration will be paid by the Lessee. If the
Lessee decides not to rebuild and the Company rejects the Lessee's mandatory
offer to purchase the leased hotel on the terms set forth in the Percentage
Lease, the Percentage Lease will terminate and the insurance proceeds will be
retained by the Company. If the Company accepts the Lessee's offer to purchase
the leased hotel, the Percentage Lease will terminate and the Lessee will be
entitled to the insurance proceeds. In the event that damage to or destruction
of a leased hotel which is covered by insurance does not render the leased hotel
wholly unsuitable for the Lessee's use and occupancy, the Lessee generally will
be obligated to repair or restore the leased hotel. In the
 
                                       65
<PAGE>   73
 
event of material damage to or destruction of any leased hotel which is not
covered by insurance, the Lessee is obligated to either repair, rebuild, or
restore the leased hotel or offer to purchase the leased hotel on the terms and
conditions set forth in the Percentage Lease. The Percentage Lease shall remain
in full force and effect during the first three months of any period required
for repair or restoration of any damaged or destroyed leased hotel, after which
time, rent will be equitably abated.
 
     Condemnation of Current Hotels. In the event of a total condemnation of a
leased hotel, the relevant Percentage Lease will terminate as of the date of
taking, and the Company and the Lessee will be entitled to their shares of the
condemnation award in accordance with the provisions of the Percentage Lease. In
the event of a partial taking which does not render the leased hotel unsuitable
for the Lessee's use, the Lessee shall restore the untaken portion of the leased
hotel to a complete architectural unit and the Company shall contribute to the
cost of such restoration that part of the condemnation award specified for
restoration.
 
     Events of Default. Events of Default under the Percentage Leases include,
among others, the following:
 
          (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default under any other lease
     between the Company and the Lessee or any affiliate of the Lessee;
 
          (ii) the failure by the Lessee to pay Base Rent when due and the
     continuation of such failure for a period of 10 days thereafter;
 
          (iii) the failure by the Lessee to pay the excess of Percentage Rent
     over Base Rent within 90 days after the end of the calendar year in which
     such payment was due;
 
          (iv) the failure by the Lessee to observe or perform any other term of
     a Percentage Lease and the continuation of such failure for a period of 30
     days after receipt by the Lessee of notice from the Company thereof, unless
     such failure cannot be cured within such period and the Lessee commences
     appropriate action to cure such failure within said 30 days and thereafter
     acts, with diligence, to correct such failure within such time as is
     necessary;
 
          (v) if the Lessee shall file a petition in bankruptcy or
     reorganization pursuant to any federal or state bankruptcy law or any
     similar federal or state law, or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or shall
     make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall admit in writing
     its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or if a
     petition or answer proposing the adjudication of the Lessee as a bankrupt
     or its reorganization pursuant to any federal or state bankruptcy law or
     any similar federal or state law shall be filed in any court and the Lessee
     shall be adjudicated a bankrupt and such adjudication shall not be vacated
     or set aside or stayed within 60 days after the entry of an order in
     respect thereof, or if a receiver of the Lessee or of the whole or
     substantially all of the assets of the Lessee shall be appointed in any
     proceeding brought by the Lessee or if any such receiver, trustee or
     liquidator shall be appointed in any proceeding brought against the Lessee
     and shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within 60 days after such
     appointment;
 
          (vi) if the Lessee voluntarily discontinues operations of a leased
     hotel for more than 30 days, except as a result of damage, destruction, or
     condemnation; or
 
          (vii) if the franchise agreement with respect to a leased hotel is
     terminated by the franchisor as a result of any action or failure to act by
     the Lessee or its agents.
 
     If an Event of Default occurs and continues beyond any curative period, the
Company has the option of terminating the Percentage Lease or any or all other
Percentage Leases by giving the Lessee 10 days' prior written notice of the date
for termination of the Percentage Lease and, unless such Event of Default is
cured prior to the termination date set forth in said notice, the specified
Percentage Leases shall terminate on the date specified in the Company's notice
and the Lessee is required to surrender possession of the affected leased
hotels.
 
     Termination of Percentage Leases on Disposition of the Current Hotels. In
the event the Company enters into an agreement to sell or otherwise transfer a
leased hotel, the Company has the right to terminate the Percentage Lease with
respect to such leased hotel upon 90 days' prior written notice upon either (i)
paying
                                       66
<PAGE>   74
 
the Lessee the fair market value of the Lessee's leasehold interest in the
remaining term of the Percentage Lease to be terminated or (ii) offering to
lease to the Lessee a substitute hotel on terms that would create a leasehold
interest in such hotel with a fair market value equal to or exceeding the fair
market value of the Lessee's remaining leasehold interest under the Percentage
Lease to be terminated. The Company also is obligated to pay, or reimburse the
Lessee for, (x) any assignment fees, termination fees or other liabilities
arising under any franchise license agreement solely as a result of the
assignment or termination of such franchise license agreement in connection with
the Company's sale of a leased hotel and termination of the Percentage Lease
with respect thereto and (y) any termination fees payable under any restaurant
sublease solely as a result of the termination thereof upon termination of the
Percentage Lease with respect thereto.
 
     Other Lease Covenants. The Lessee has agreed that during the term of the
Percentage Leases it will maintain a ratio of total debt to consolidated net
worth (as defined in the Percentage Leases) of less than or equal to 50%,
exclusive of capitalized leases. In addition, the Lessee has agreed that it will
not pay fees to any affiliate of the Lessee.
 
     Breach by Company. If the Company fails to cure a breach on its part under
a Percentage Lease, the Lessee may purchase the relevant leased hotel from the
Company for a purchase price equal to the leased hotel's then fair market value.
Upon notice from the Lessee that the Company has breached the Lease, the Company
has 30 days to cure the breach or proceed to cure the breach, which period may
be extended in the event of certain specified, unavoidable delays.
 
     Inventory. The initial standard inventory of goods and supplies necessary
for the operation of the leased hotels has been acquired by the Lessee. The
Lessee is required to purchase, at its expense, any and all replacements and
additions to such inventory as may be necessary for the continued operation of
the leased hotels and, upon the termination of the applicable Percentage Lease,
to surrender such leased hotel to the Company.
 
SEASONALITY
 
   
     The Current Hotels' operations historically have been seasonal in nature,
reflecting higher occupancy rates primarily during the first three quarters of
each year. This seasonality can be expected to cause fluctuations in the
Company's quarterly lease revenue, particularly during the fourth quarter, to
the extent that it receives Percentage Rent. To the extent cash flow from
operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal
fluctuations in lease revenue, the Company expects to utilize other cash on hand
or borrowings under the Line of Credit to make distributions to its equity
owners.
    
 
COMPETITION
 
     The hotel industry is highly competitive. Each of the Company's hotels is
located in a developed area that includes other hotel properties and competes
for guests primarily with other upscale hotels in its immediate vicinity and
secondarily with other full service hotel properties in its geographic market.
An increase in the number of competitive hotel properties in a particular area
could have a material adverse effect on the occupancy, ADR and RevPAR of the
Company's hotels in that area. The Company believes that brand recognition,
location, the quality of the hotel and services provided, and price are the
principal competitive factors affecting the Company's hotels.
 
     The Company competes for investment opportunities with other entities, some
of which have substantially greater financial resources than the Company. These
larger entities may be able to accept more risk than the Company can prudently
manage. An increase in the number of purchasers for upscale hotel properties may
reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to the Company
and may increase the bargaining power of owners seeking to sell their hotels.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
     Under various federal, state and local laws and regulations, an owner or
operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of
certain hazardous or toxic substances on such property. Such
 
                                       67
<PAGE>   75
 
laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner or operator
knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances
on the property. Furthermore, a person that arranges for the disposal or
treatment of, or transports for disposal or treatment, a hazardous or toxic
substance at any property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation
of hazardous or toxic substances released into the environment at or from that
property. The costs of removal or remediation of such substances may be
substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to promptly
remediate such substances, may adversely affect the owner's ability to fully
utilize such property without restriction, to sell such property or to borrow
using such property as collateral. In connection with the ownership and
operation of the Company's hotels, FelCor, FelCor LP and the Lessee, as the case
may be, may be potentially liable for any such costs.
 
     Phase I environmental audits, by independent environmental engineers, are
customarily obtained with respect to hotels, prior to the acquisition thereof by
the Company. The principal purpose of Phase I audits is to identify indications
of potential environmental contamination for which such hotels may be
responsible and, secondarily, to assess, to a limited extent, the potential for
environmental regulatory compliance liabilities. The Phase I audits of the
Current Hotels were designed to meet the requirements of the then current
industry standards governing Phase I audits, and consistent with those
requirements, none of the audits involved testing of groundwater, soil or air.
Accordingly, they do not represent evaluations of conditions at the studied
sites that would be revealed only through such testing. In addition, their
assessment of environmental regulatory compliance issues was general in scope
and was not a detailed determination of the Current Hotels' complete compliance
status. Similarly, the audits did not involve comprehensive analysis of
potential off-site liability. The Phase I audit reports did not reveal any
environmental liability that management believes would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, assets or results of operations, nor is the
Company aware of any such liability. Nevertheless, it is possible that these
reports do not reveal all environmental liabilities or that there are material
environmental liabilities of which the Company is unaware.
 
     No assurances can be given that (i) future or amended laws, ordinances or
regulations or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies of
existing environmental requirements, will not impose any material environmental
liability or (ii) the environmental condition of the Current Hotels will not be
affected by changes (of which the Company is unaware) occurring subsequent to
the date of such audits, by the condition of properties in the vicinity of such
hotels (such as the presence of leaking underground storage tanks) or by third
parties unrelated to the Company.
 
     The Company believes that its Current Hotels are in compliance, in all
material respects, with all federal, state and local ordinances and regulations
regarding hazardous or toxic substances and other environmental matters, the
violation of which would have a material adverse effect on FelCor, FelCor LP or
the Lessee. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of
any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic
substances or other environmental matters in connection with any of its present
or former properties.
 
TAX STATUS
 
   
     FelCor has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), commencing with its
initial taxable year ending December 31, 1994. As a REIT, FelCor (subject to
certain exceptions) will not be subject to federal income taxation, at the
corporate level, on its taxable income that is distributed to the shareholders
of FelCor. A REIT is subject to a number of organizational and operational
requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 95%
of its taxable income. FelCor may, however, be subject to certain state and
local taxes on its income and property. In connection with FelCor's election to
be taxed as a REIT, FelCor's Charter imposes restrictions on the transfer of
shares of Common Stock. FelCor has adopted the calendar year as its taxable
year.
    
 
EMPLOYEES
 
   
     Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran have each entered into employment agreements
with FelCor, pursuant to which they have agreed to devote substantially all of
their time to the business of the Company through 1999. In addition, FelCor had
28 other employees at September 30, 1997. All persons employed in the day-to-day
    
 
                                       68
<PAGE>   76
 
operation of the Company's Current Hotels are employees of the management
companies engaged by the Lessee to operate such hotels.
 
PERSONNEL AND OFFICE SHARING ARRANGEMENTS
 
   
     The Company shares executive offices with the Lessee and FelCor, Inc., a
corporation owned by Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran. Each entity bears an
allocated share of the costs thereof, including but not limited to rent,
salaries of all personnel (other than Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran, who are
compensated solely by FelCor), office supplies and telephones. Such allocations
of shared costs are subject to the approval of a majority of the Independent
Directors of FelCor. During 1996, approximately $807,000 (approximately 38% of
all allocable expenses) was borne by the Company under this arrangement.
    
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     The Company's Current Hotels are subject to various claims arising in the
ordinary course of business. These claims, exclusive of potential third party
recoveries, are not considered to be material. Furthermore, such claims are
substantially covered by insurance. Management does not believe that any claims
known to it (individually or in the aggregate) will have a material adverse
effect on the Company, without regard to any potential recoveries from insurers
or other third parties.
 
                                   MANAGEMENT
 
DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
 
   
     The Board of Directors currently consists of seven members, four of whom
are not officers or employees of FelCor or any subsidiary or lessee thereof
("Independent Directors"). The Board of Directors is divided into three classes
who serve staggered three-year terms with the term of each director expiring at
the annual meeting of shareholders held three years after his election.
    
 
   
     Set forth below is certain information regarding the directors and
executive officers of FelCor. Executive officers of FelCor constitute all of the
managers and officers of the Subsidiary Guarantors and serve in such capacities
without additional compensation.

                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
     FelCor and FelCor LP have entered into a number of transactions with the
Lessee and certain other affiliates. Mr. Feldman and Mr. Corcoran, who are
officers and directors of FelCor, control and are also officers and directors of
the Lessee.
 
THE PERCENTAGE LEASES
 
   
     The Company and the Lessee have entered into the Percentage Leases, each
with a minimum term of ten years, relating to each hotel owned by the Company.
The Company anticipates that similar Percentage Leases will be executed with
respect to any additional hotel properties acquired by it in the future.
Pursuant to the terms of the Percentage Leases, the Lessee is required to pay
the greater of Base Rent or Percentage Rent and certain other additional
charges, and is entitled to all profits from the operation of the hotels after
the payment of operating, management and other expenses. The terms of the
Percentage Leases were not negotiated on an arms-length basis and, accordingly,
may not reflect fair market values or terms. Management of the Company believes,
however, that the terms of such agreements are fair to the Company and are upon
terms as favorable to the Company as could be obtained from a financially
responsible unrelated third party. Lease rent paid by the Lessee under the
Percentage Leases totaled approximately $108 million for the year ended December
31, 1996 and approximately $158 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1997. The Lessee is a Delaware limited liability company, all of the voting
Class A membership interest in which (representing a 50% equity interest) is
beneficially owned one half by Mr. Feldman and one half by Mr. Corcoran. All of
the non-voting Class B membership interest in the Lessee (representing the
remaining 50% equity interest) is owned by RGC Leasing, Inc., a Nevada
corporation owned by the children of Charles N. Mathewson. See "Risk
Factors -- Conflicts of Interest -- No Arms-Length Bargaining on Percentage
Leases.")
    
 
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
   
     FelCor has entered into the Employment Agreements with each of Messrs.
Feldman and Corcoran that will continue in effect until December 31, 1999 and
automatically be renewed for successive one year terms, unless otherwise
terminated. Pursuant to such Employment Agreements, Mr. Feldman serves as
Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Corcoran serves as President and Chief Executive
Officer, of FelCor. Each was paid a base salary of $5,000 per month through
1994, $10,000 per month in 1995 and $10,270 in 1996. Effective January 1, 1997,
Mr. Feldman is entitled to receive $12,500 per month and Mr. Corcoran is
entitled to receive $16,667 per month. Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran have agreed
to devote substantially all of their time to the business of the Company. The
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may provide for additional
compensation as a bonus should it determine, in its discretion, based on merit,
the Company's anticipated financial performance and other criteria, that such
additional compensation is appropriate. FelCor maintains a comprehensive medical
plan for the benefit of Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran and their dependents.
    
 
OPTION AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
 
     In 1994, the Company was granted a two-year option to purchase, at fair
market value, and a right of first refusal with respect to an Embassy Suites
hotel located in St. Louis, Missouri that was developed by a FelCor
 
                                       73
<PAGE>   81
 
   
Affiliate and opened for business on December 21, 1994 under the management of
Promus. In anticipation of the December 21, 1996 expiration date of such option
and right of first refusal, the Independent Directors of FelCor, following an
inspection of the hotel and a thorough consideration of all matters deemed
relevant by them determined, at a meeting held at such hotel in June 1996, that
it would be in the best interests of the Company and its equity owners to allow
this option and right of first refusal to expire unexercised. Such decision was
based, in part, upon the fact that the Company had other purchase opportunities,
that the option was only exercisable at fair market value and that the hotel
offered little opportunity for the Company to benefit from additional capital
expenditures, or changes in brand or management. Accordingly, this option and
right of first refusal was not exercised and expired by its terms on December
21, 1996.
    
 
SHARING OF OFFICES AND EMPLOYEES
 
   
     The Company shares the executive offices and certain employees with FelCor,
Inc. and the Lessee, and each company bears its share of the costs thereof,
including an allocated portion of the rent, salaries of certain personnel (other
than Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran, whose salaries are borne solely by FelCor),
office supplies, telephones and depreciation of office furniture, fixtures and
equipment. Any such allocation of shared expenses to the Company must be
approved by a majority of the Independent Directors. During 1996, the Company
paid approximately $807,000 (approximately 38%) of the allocable expenses under
this arrangement.
    
 
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTOR FOR SPECIAL SERVICES
 
   
     In connection with the Company's acquisition, during February 1997, of
interests in 10 hotels at an aggregate cost of approximately $139 million
(including the Company's share of certain assumed indebtedness), Mr. Richard S.
Ellwood, an Independent Director, was paid a one-time fee in the amount of
$200,000 for his services in facilitating this transaction.
    
 
                      DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
 
     The Company's indebtedness consists primarily of the outstanding Old Notes,
amounts borrowed under the Line of Credit, and the Renovation Loan. In addition,
the Company has assumed certain other indebtedness and capitalized lease
obligations in connection with the purchase of certain of the Current Hotels. As
of September 30, 1997, after giving effect to the Private Placement and the
application of the proceeds therefrom, the Company's total Indebtedness would
have been approximately $428 million, of which $300 million would have been
outstanding under the Notes, $91 million would have been outstanding under the
Line of Credit, $25 million would have been outstanding under the Renovation
Loan and $12 million would have been outstanding under other Indebtedness.
 
     Line of Credit. In September 1996, the Company obtained the Line of Credit,
originally a $250 million unsecured revolving credit facility from a group of
lenders co-arranged by The Chase Manhattan Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association. As subsequently amended and restated, the Line of Credit has been
increased to $550 million. The Line of Credit has a term of three years ending
October 1, 2000. Borrowings under the Line of Credit bear interest, at the
Company's option, (i) at a base rate ("Base Rate") equal to the higher of the
base rate announced from time to time by The Chase Manhattan Bank or 0.5% plus
the Federal funds rate, in either case plus an applicable margin of 0% to 0.25%,
or (ii) at a Eurodollar rate ("Eurodollar Rate") based upon the 30, 60, or 90
day or 6-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.00% to 1.75%. The applicable
margin varies depending upon the Company's long-term senior unsecured implied
debt rating or its leverage ratio and, at September 30, 1997, was 0.0% in the
case of Base Rate borrowings and 1.4% in the case of Eurodollar Rate borrowings.
The weighted average interest rate in effect for borrowings under the Line of
Credit was 7.22% at September 30, 1997. Up to 10% of the amount available under
the Line of Credit may be used for general corporate or working capital
purposes. The total amount available under the Line of Credit is limited to 50%
of the aggregate value of the Company's eligible hotels, which generally
includes hotels that are unencumbered. The Company's availability under the Line
of Credit, as of September 30, 1997, was $550 million, of which $296 million had
been borrowed.

million plus (b) 50% of the aggregate net proceeds received by the Company after
June 30, 1997 in connection with any offering of stock or stock equivalents.
FelCor and FelCor LP shall ensure that at the end of each fiscal quarter at
least 50% of the aggregate Adjusted NOI generated by all hotels during the
preceding four fiscal quarters shall be generated by hotels wholly owned or
leased by FelCor or FelCor LP or its wholly owned subsidiaries; provided that,
for hotels owned or leased for less than four fiscal quarters only the Adjusted
NOI generated by such hotels since the date of acquisition of such hotel shall
be included in calculating such aggregate Adjusted NOI. In addition, FelCor and
FelCor LP shall not, during each fiscal quarter on a consolidated basis permit
(a) Total Indebtedness to exceed 50% of Total Value or (b) Total Secured

     Renovation Loan. The Renovation Loan is a $25 million loan facility which
was used by the Company to fund a portion of the renovation cost of the CSS
Hotels that were converted to Embassy Suites hotels. The facility is guaranteed
by Promus, bears interest at LIBOR plus 45 basis points, requires quarterly
principal payments of $1.25 million beginning in June 1999 and matures in June

     Interest Rate Swaps. During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company entered
into two separate interest rate swap agreements to manage the relative mix of
its debt between fixed and variable rate instruments. These interest rate swap
agreements modify a portion of the interest characteristics of the Company's
outstanding debt without an exchange of the underlying principal amount and
effectively convert variable rate

debt to a fixed rate. The fixed rates to be paid, the effective fixed rate, and
the variable rate to be received by the Company at September 30, 1997 are
summarized in the following table:

     The differences to be paid or received by the Company under the terms of
the interest rate swap agreements are accrued as interest rates change and
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense by the Company pursuant to the
terms of its interest rate agreement and will have a corresponding effect on its
future cash flows. Agreements such as these contain a credit risk that the
counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreement. The Company
minimizes that risk by evaluating the creditworthiness of its counterparties,
which are limited to major banks and financial institutions, and does not
anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.
 
                    DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES AND GUARANTEES
 
     Except as otherwise indicated below, the following summary of the material
provisions of the Indenture applies to both the Old Notes and the New Notes. As
used herein, the term "Notes" shall mean the Old Notes and the New Notes, unless
otherwise indicated.
 
     The form and terms of the New Notes are substantially identical to the form
and terms of the Old Notes, except that the exchange of the New Notes pursuant
to the Exchange Offer will be registered under the Securities Act and,
therefore, the New Notes will not bear any legends restricting transfer thereof.
The New Notes will evidence the same debt as the Old Notes and will be treated
as a single class under the Indenture with any Old Notes that remain
outstanding. Each series of New Notes will be issued solely in exchange for an
equal principal amount of the corresponding series of Old Notes. As of the date
hereof, $175 million in aggregate principal amount of Old 7 3/8% Notes and $125
million aggregate principal amount of Old 7 5/8% Notes, is outstanding. See "The
Exchange Offer." The following summary of certain provisions of the Indenture, a
copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of
which this Prospectus is a part, does not purport to be complete and is subject
to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the
Indenture, including the definitions of certain terms therein and those terms
made a part thereof by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. Whenever
particular defined terms of the Indenture not otherwise defined herein are
referred to, the definitions ascribed to such terms in the Indenture are
incorporated herein by reference. For definitions of certain capitalized terms
used in the following summary, see "-- Certain Definitions."
 
GENERAL
 
     The Old Notes are, and the New Notes will be, unsecured senior obligations
of FelCor LP. The 7 3/8% Notes will be initially limited to $175 million in
aggregate principal amount and will mature on October 1, 2004. The 7 5/8% Notes
will be initially limited to $125 million in aggregate principal amount and will
mature on October 1, 2007. Each of the 7 3/8% Notes will initially bear interest
at 7 3/8% per annum, and each of the 7 5/8% Notes will initially bear interest
at 7 5/8% per annum, in each case, from October 1, 1997 or from the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable
semiannually (to Holders of record at the close of business on the September 15
or the March 15 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date) on October 1
and April 1 of each year, commencing April 1, 1998.
 
     Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes is payable, and
the Notes may be exchanged or transferred, at the office or agency of FelCor LP
in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York (which initially will be the
corporate trust office of the Trustee at First Chicago Trust Company of New
York, 14 Wall Street, Suite 4607, New York, New York 10005, as agent for the
Trustee); provided that, at the option of
 
                                       77
<PAGE>   85
 
FelCor LP, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at
their addresses as they appear in the Security Register.
 
     The Notes will be issued only in fully registered form, without coupons, in
denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and any integral multiple thereof.
See "-- Book-Entry; Delivery and Form." No service charge will be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but FelCor LP may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other similar governmental
charge payable in connection therewith.
 
     Subject to the covenants described below under "Covenants" and applicable
law, FelCor LP may issue additional Notes under the Indenture. The Notes offered
hereby and any additional notes subsequently issued under the Indenture would be
treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture.
 
GUARANTEES AND SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS
 
   
     The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured
senior basis by FelCor and by the Subsidiary Guarantors. At present, the
Subsidiary Guarantors consist of FelCor/CSS Hotels, L.L.C., FelCor/LAX Hotels,
L.L.C., FelCor Eight Hotels, L.L.C., FelCor/CSS Holdings, L.P., FelCor/St. Paul
Holdings, L.P. and FelCor/LAX Holdings, L.P., each of which is a guarantor with
respect to the Line of Credit. The guarantees will be unconditional regardless
of the enforceability of the Notes and the Indenture. FelCor currently conducts
no other business and has no significant assets other than its general
partnership interest in FelCor LP. None of the three Subsidiary Guarantors that
is a limited liability company owns directly any hotel properties or engages in
any business other than the ownership of partnership and membership interests in
other entities. The three Subsidiary Guarantors that are limited partnerships
own directly an aggregate of 18 of the Current Hotels and own general partner
interests in a partnership that owns directly one additional hotel in which the
Company has an interest. FelCor LP and certain of the Subsidiary Guarantors have
additional subsidiaries, none of which subsidiaries is material to FelCor LP.
    
 
     Each future Restricted Subsidiary that subsequently guarantees Indebtedness
of FelCor LP or FelCor which is pari passu with or subordinate in right of
payment to the Notes will be required to execute a Subsidiary Guarantee. See
"Limitation on Issuances of Guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries."
 
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
 
     Each series of Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part
from time to time, at the option of FelCor LP, at a redemption price equal to
the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes and (ii) the sum
of the present values of the remaining payments of principal and interest
thereon from the redemption date to the applicable maturity date discounted, in
each case, to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points,
plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.
 
     "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per
annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable
Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as
a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for
such redemption date.
 
     "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to
the remaining term of the Note to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the
time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in
pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of such Note. "Independent Investment Banker" means one of the
Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Trustee after consultation with
FelCor LP.
 
     "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date, (i)
the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third
business day preceding such redemption date, as set forth in the daily
statistical release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York and designated "Composite
                                       78
<PAGE>   86
 
3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities" or (ii) if such release (or
any successor release) is not published or does not contain such prices on such
business day, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations actually
obtained by the Trustee for such redemption date. "Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any
redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked
prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage
of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference
Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third business day preceding such redemption
date.
 
     "Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated, NationsBanc Capital Markets, Inc. and Salomon Brothers Inc and
their respective successors; provided, that if any of the foregoing shall cease
to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a "Primary
Treasury Dealer"), FelCor LP shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury
Dealer.
 
     Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but no more than
60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed.
 
     Unless FelCor LP defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after
the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions
thereof called for redemption.
 
SINKING FUND
 
     There will be no sinking fund payments for the Notes.
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
     In connection with the original issuance and sale of the Old Notes, the
Initial Purchasers and their assignees became entitled to the benefits of the
Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement,
FelCor LP and FelCor have agreed to use their best efforts, at their cost, to
file and cause to become effective a registration statement with respect to a
registered offer to exchange each series of Notes for an issue of senior notes
of FelCor LP ("Exchange Notes") with terms identical to such Notes (including
the guarantee by FelCor and the Subsidiary Guarantors), except that the Exchange
Notes will not bear legends restricting the transfer thereof. Upon such
registration statement being declared effective, FelCor LP shall offer the
Exchange Notes in return for surrender of the Notes. Such offer shall remain
open for not less than 20 business days after the date notice of the Exchange
Offer is mailed to Holders. For each Note surrendered to FelCor LP under the
Exchange Offer, the Holder will receive an Exchange Note of equal principal
amount. Interest on each Exchange Note shall accrue from the last Interest
Payment Date on which interest was paid on the Notes so surrendered or, if no
interest has been paid on such Notes, from the Closing Date. In the event that
applicable interpretations of the staff of the Commission do not permit FelCor
LP and FelCor to effect the Exchange Offer, or under certain other
circumstances, FelCor LP and FelCor shall, at their cost, use their best efforts
to cause to become effective a shelf registration statement ("Shelf Registration
Statement") with respect to resales of the Notes and to keep such Shelf
Registration Statement effective until the expiration of the time period
referred to in Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, or such shorter period that
will terminate when all Notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have
been sold pursuant thereto. FelCor LP and FelCor shall, in the event of such a
shelf registration, provide each Holder copies of the prospectus, notify each
Holder when the Shelf Registration Statement for the Notes has become effective
and take certain other actions as are required to permit resales of the Notes. A
Holder that sells its Notes pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement
generally will be required to be named as a selling security holder in the
related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to
certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection
with such sales and will be bound by those provisions of the Registration Rights
Agreement that are applicable to such Holder (including certain indemnification
obligations).
 
     In the event that the Exchange Offer is not consummated and a Shelf
Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to April 1, 1998,
the annual interest rate borne by such Notes will be increased by .5% until the
Exchange Offer is consummated or the Shelf Registration Statement is declared
effective.

RANKING
 
     The indebtedness evidenced by the Notes will be unsecured senior
obligations of FelCor LP, and will rank pari passu in right of payment with
other Senior Indebtedness of FelCor LP, including, without limitation, the
obligations of FelCor LP under the Line of Credit. The Notes will be effectively
subordinated to Secured Indebtedness (as defined herein) of FelCor LP and the
Guarantors and to the Indebtedness of the non-guarantor Subsidiaries. As of
September 30, 1997, after giving effect to the Private Placement and the
application of the proceeds therefrom, the total Indebtedness of FelCor LP and
the Guarantors would have been approximately $428 million (including
approximately $12 million in Secured Indebtedness). Although FelCor LP and the
Guarantors have no immediate plans to incur additional Indebtedness (other than
pursuant to the Line of Credit or in connection with hotel acquisitions), it is
likely they will do so in the future. The non-guarantor Subsidiaries had no
Indebtedness at such date and have no present intention to incur any
Indebtedness. There is currently no outstanding indebtedness of FelCor LP or the
Guarantors that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes.
 
CERTAIN DEFINITIONS
 
     Set forth below is a summary of certain of the defined terms used in the
covenants and other provisions of the Indenture. Reference is made to the
Indenture for the full definition of all terms as well as any other capitalized
term used herein for which no definition is provided.

such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or assumed in connection with an
Asset Acquisition from such Person by a Restricted Subsidiary and not incurred
by such Person in connection with, or in anticipation of, such Person becoming a
Restricted Subsidiary or such Asset Acquisition; provided that Indebtedness of
such Person which is redeemed, defeased, retired or otherwise repaid at the time
of or immediately upon consummation of the transactions by which such Person
becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or such Asset Acquisition shall not be Acquired
Indebtedness.
 
     "Adjusted Consolidated Net Income" means, for any period, the aggregate net
income (or loss) of FelCor, FelCor LP and their respective Restricted
Subsidiaries for such period determined on a consolidated basis in conformity
with GAAP plus the minority interest in FelCor LP, if applicable; provided that
the following items shall be excluded in computing Adjusted Consolidated Net
Income (without duplication): (i) the net income of any Person (other than
FelCor LP, FelCor or a Restricted Subsidiary), except to the extent of the
amount of dividends or other distributions actually paid to FelCor LP, FelCor or
any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries by such Person during such
period; (ii) the net income of any Restricted Subsidiary to the extent that the
declaration or payment of dividends or similar distributions by such Restricted

statute, rule or governmental regulation applicable to such Restricted
Subsidiary; (iii) any gains or losses (on an after-tax basis) attributable to

deducting therefrom (i) all current liabilities of FelCor LP, FelCor and their
respective Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding intercompany items) and (ii) all
goodwill, trade names, trademarks, patents, unamortized debt discount and
expense and other like intangibles, all as set forth on the most recent
quarterly or annual consolidated balance sheet of FelCor LP or FelCor and their
respective Restricted Subsidiaries, prepared in conformity with GAAP and filed

or the dividends or distributions referred to in clause (vii) thereof), and the
Net Cash Proceeds from any issuance of Capital Stock referred to in clauses
(iii) and (iv), shall be included in calculating whether the conditions of
clause (C) of the first paragraph of this "Limitation on Restricted Payments"
covenant have been met with respect to any subsequent Restricted Payments.
 
  Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted
Subsidiaries
 
     Neither FelCor LP nor FelCor will, and neither FelCor LP nor FelCor will
permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, create or otherwise
cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or
restriction of any kind on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (i) pay
dividends or make any other distributions permitted by applicable law on any
Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary owned by FelCor LP or FelCor or any
of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, (ii) pay any Indebtedness owed to
FelCor LP, FelCor or any other Restricted Subsidiary, (iii) make loans or
advances to FelCor LP, FelCor or any other Restricted Subsidiary or (iv)
transfer its property or assets to FelCor LP, FelCor or any other Restricted
Subsidiary.
 
     The foregoing provisions shall not restrict any encumbrances or
restrictions: (i) existing on the Closing Date in the Indenture or in the Line
of Credit, and any extensions, refinancings, renewals or replacements of such
agreements; provided that the encumbrances and restrictions in any such
extensions, refinancings, renewals or replacements are no less favorable in any
material respect to the Holders than those encumbrances or restrictions that are
then in effect and that are being extended, refinanced, renewed or replaced;
(ii) existing under or by reason of applicable law; (iii) existing with respect
to any Person or the property or assets of such Person acquired by FelCor LP,
FelCor or any Restricted Subsidiary, existing at the time of such acquisition
and not incurred in contemplation thereof, which encumbrances or restrictions
are not applicable to any Person or the property or assets of any Person other
than such Person or the property or assets of such Person so acquired; (iv) in
the case of clause (iv) of the first paragraph of this "Limitation on Dividend
and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries" covenant, (A)
that restrict in a customary manner the subletting, assignment or transfer of
any property or asset that is a lease, license, conveyance or contract or
similar property or asset, (B) existing by virtue of any transfer of, agreement
to transfer, option or right with respect to, or Lien on, any property or assets
of FelCor LP, FelCor or any Restricted Subsidiary not otherwise prohibited by
the Indenture or (C) arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business,
not relating to any Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the
aggregate, detract from the value of property or assets of FelCor LP, FelCor or
any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to FelCor LP, FelCor and their
respective Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole; (v) with respect to a
Restricted Subsidiary and imposed pursuant to an agreement that has been entered
into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital
Stock of, or property and assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary; or (vi)
contained in the terms of any Indebtedness or any agreement pursuant to which
such Indebtedness was issued if (A) the encumbrance or restriction applies only
in the event of a payment default or a default with respect to a financial
covenant contained in such Indebtedness or agreement, (B) the encumbrance or
restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes
than is customary in comparable financings (as determined by FelCor LP and
FelCor) and (C) each of FelCor LP and FelCor determines that any such
encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect such Persons' ability to
make principal or interest payments on the Notes. Nothing contained in this
"Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted
Subsidiaries" covenant shall prevent FelCor LP, FelCor or any Restricted
Subsidiary from (1) creating, incurring, assuming or suffering to exist any
Liens otherwise permitted in the "Limitation on Liens" covenant or (2)
restricting the sale or other disposition of property or assets of FelCor LP or
FelCor or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries that secure
Indebtedness of FelCor LP, FelCor or any of their respective Restricted
Subsidiaries.

  Limitation on the Issuance and Sale of Capital Stock of Restricted
Subsidiaries
 
     Neither FelCor LP nor FelCor will sell, and neither FelCor LP nor FelCor
will permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or
indirectly, to issue or sell, any shares of Capital Stock of a Restricted
Subsidiary (including options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of
such Capital Stock) except (i) to FelCor LP, FelCor or a Wholly Owned Restricted
Subsidiary; (ii) issuances of director's qualifying shares or sales to
individuals of shares of Restricted Subsidiaries, to the extent required by
applicable law or to the extent necessary to obtain local liquor licenses; (iii)
if, immediately after giving effect to such issuance or sale, such Restricted
Subsidiary would no longer constitute a Subsidiary and any Investment in such
Person remaining after giving effect to such issuance or sale would have been
permitted to be made under the "Limitation on Restricted Payments" covenant if
made on the date of such issuance or sale or (iv) sales of not greater than 20%
of the Capital Stock of a newly-created Restricted Subsidiary made in connection
with, or in contemplation of, the acquisition or development by such Restricted
Subsidiary of one or more properties to any Person that is, or is an Affiliate
of, the entity that provides, franchise management or other services, as the
case may be, to one or more properties owned by such Restricted Subsidiary.
 
  Limitation on Issuances of Guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries
 
     Neither FelCor LP nor FelCor will permit any of their respective Restricted
Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to Guarantee any Indebtedness of FelCor LP
or FelCor which is pari passu with or subordinate in right of payment to the
Notes ("Guaranteed Indebtedness"), unless (i) such Restricted Subsidiary
simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to the Indenture
providing for a Subsidiary Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) such
Restricted Subsidiary waives and will not in any manner whatsoever claim or take
the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or
subrogation or any other rights against FelCor LP, FelCor or any other
Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary
under its Subsidiary Guarantee; provided that this paragraph shall not be
applicable to any Guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the
time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not Incurred in
connection with, or in contemplation of, such person becoming a Restricted
Subsidiary. If the Guaranteed Indebtedness is (A) pari passu with the Notes,
then the Guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be pari passu with, or
subordinated to, the Subsidiary Guarantee or (B) subordinated to the Notes, then
the Guarantee of such Guarantee Indebtedness shall be subordinated to the
Subsidiary Guarantee at least to the extent that the Guaranteed Indebtedness is
subordinated to the Notes.
 
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsidiary Guarantee by a Restricted
Subsidiary may provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and
unconditionally released and discharged upon (i) any sale, exchange or transfer,
to any Person not an Affiliate of FelCor LP or FelCor, of all of Capital Stock
held by FelCor LP, FelCor and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries in, or
all or substantially all the assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary (which sale,
exchange or transfer is not prohibited by the Indenture) or (ii) the release or
discharge of the Guarantee which resulted in the creation of such Subsidiary
Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such
Guarantee.
 
  Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates
 
     Neither FelCor LP nor FelCor will, and neither FelCor LP nor FelCor will
permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, enter into, renew or extend any transaction (including, without
limitations, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or assets, or the
rendering of any service) with any holder (or any Affiliate of such holder) of
5% or more of any class of Capital Stock of FelCor LP or FelCor or with any
Affiliate of FelCor LP or FelCor or any of their respective Restricted
Subsidiaries, except upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to FelCor
LP, FelCor or such Restricted Subsidiary than could be obtained, at the time of
such transaction or, if such transaction is pursuant to a written agreement, at
the time of the execution of the agreement providing therefor, in a comparable
arm's-length transaction with a Person that is not such a holder or an
Affiliate.
 
                                       95
<PAGE>   103
 
     The foregoing limitation does not limit, and shall not apply to (i)
transactions (A) approved by a majority of the independent directors of FelCor
or (B) for which FelCor LP, FelCor or any Restricted Subsidiary delivers to the
Trustee a written opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm
stating that the transaction is fair to FelCor LP, FelCor or such Restricted
Subsidiary from a financial point of view; (ii) any transaction solely between
FelCor LP or FelCor and any of their respective Wholly Owned Restricted
Subsidiaries or solely between Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries; (iii) the
payment of reasonable and customary fees and expenses to directors of FelCor who
are not employees of FelCor; (iv) any payments or other transactions pursuant to
any tax-sharing agreement between FelCor LP or FelCor and any other Person with
which FelCor LP or FelCor files a consolidated tax return or with which FelCor
LP or FelCor is part of a consolidated group for tax purposes; or (v) any
Restricted Payments not prohibited by the "Limitation on Restricted Payments"
covenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transaction or series of related
transactions covered by the first paragraph of this "Limitation on Transactions
with Affiliates" covenant and not covered by clauses (ii) through (v) of this
paragraph, (a) the aggregate amount of which exceeds $2 million in value or
relates to the leasing of one or more hotel properties to DJONT, must be
approved or determined to be fair in the manner provided for in clause (i)(A) or
(B) above and (b) the aggregate amount of which exceeds $5 million in value,
must be determined to be fair in the manner provided for in clause (i)(B) above.
 
  Limitation on Asset Sales
 
     Neither FelCor LP nor FelCor will, and neither FelCor LP or FelCor will
permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate any Asset
Sale, unless (i) the consideration received by FelCor LP, FelCor or such
Restricted Subsidiary is at least equal to the fair market value of the assets
sold or disposed of and (ii) at least 75% of the consideration received consists
of cash or Temporary Cash Investments; provided, with respect to the sale of one
or more hotel properties that up to 75% of the consideration may consist of
indebtedness of the purchaser of such hotel properties; provided, further, that
such indebtedness is secured by a first priority Lien on the hotel property or
properties sold. In the event and to the extent that the Net Cash Proceeds
received by FelCor LP, FelCor or such Restricted Subsidiary from one or more
Asset Sales occurring on or after the Closing Date in any period of 12
consecutive months exceed 10% of Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets
(determined as of the date closest to the commencement of such 12-month period
for which a consolidated balance sheet of FelCor LP, FelCor and their respective
Restricted Subsidiaries has been filed with the Commission or provided to the
Trustee pursuant to the "Commission Reports and Reports to Holders" covenant),
then FelCor LP or FelCor shall or shall cause the relevant Restricted Subsidiary
to (i) within twelve months after the date Net Cash Proceeds so received exceed
10% of Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (A) apply an amount equal to
such excess Net Cash Proceeds to permanently reduce Senior Indebtedness of
FelCor LP, FelCor, or any Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness of any other
Restricted Subsidiary, in each case owing to a Person other than FelCor LP,
FelCor or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries or (B) invest an equal
amount, or the amount not so applied pursuant to clause (A) (or enter into a
definitive agreement committing to so invest within 12 months after the date of
such agreement), in property or assets (other than current assets) of a nature
or type or that are used in a business (or in a Restricted Subsidiary having
property and assets of a nature or type, or engaged in a business) similar or
related to the nature or type of the property and assets of, or the business of,
FelCor LP or FelCor or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries existing
on the date of such investment and (ii) apply (no later than the end of the
12-month period referred to in clause (i)) such excess Net Cash Proceeds (to the
extent not applied pursuant to clause (i)) as provided in the following
paragraph of this "Limitation on Asset Sales" covenant. The amount of such
excess Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied (or to be committed to be
applied) during such 12-month period as set forth in clause (i) of the preceding
sentence and not applied as so required by the end of such period shall
constitute "Excess Proceeds."
 
     If, as of the first day of any calendar month, the aggregate amount of
Excess Proceeds not previously subject to an Offer to Purchase pursuant to this
"Limitation on Asset Sales" covenant totals at least $10 million, FelCor LP must
commence, not later than the fifteenth Business Day of such month, and
consummate an Offer to Purchase from the Holders on a pro rata basis an
aggregate principal amount of Notes equal to the Excess Proceeds on such date,
at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus, in
each case, accrued interest (if any) to the Payment Date.
                                       96
<PAGE>   104
 
REPURCHASE OF NOTES UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL
 
     FelCor LP must commence, within 30 days of the occurrence of a Change of
Control, and consummate an Offer to Purchase for all Notes then outstanding, at
a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued
interest (if any) to the Payment Date.
 
     There can be no assurance that FelCor LP will have sufficient funds
available at the time of any Change of Control to make any debt payment
(including repurchases of Notes) required by the foregoing covenant (as well as
any covenant that may be contained in other securities of FelCor LP or FelCor
which might be outstanding at the time). The above covenant requiring FelCor LP
to repurchase the Notes will, unless consents are obtained, require FelCor LP to
repay all indebtedness then outstanding which by its terms would prohibit such
Note repurchase, either prior to or concurrently with such Note repurchase.
 
COMMISSION REPORTS AND REPORTS TO HOLDERS
 
     Whether or not FelCor LP or FelCor is then required to file reports with
the Commission, FelCor LP and FelCor shall file with the Commission all such
reports and other information as they would be required to file with Commission
by Sections 13(a) or 15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if they
were subject thereto; provided that, if filing such documents by FelCor LP or
FelCor with the Commission is not permitted under Exchange Act, FelCor LP or
FelCor shall provide such documents to the Trustee and upon written request
supply copies of such documents to any prospective Holder; provided, further,
that if the rules and regulations of the Commission permit FelCor LP and FelCor
to file combined reports or information pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, FelCor LP and FelCor may file combined reports and information. FelCor
LP and FelCor shall supply the Trustee and each Holder or shall supply to the
Trustee for forwarding to each such Holder, without cost to such Holder, copies
of such reports and other information.
 
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
 
     The following events are defined as "Events of Default" in the Indenture:
(a) default in the payment of principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note
when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption
or otherwise; (b) default in the payment of interest on any Note when the same
becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days; (c)
default in the performance or breach of the provisions of the Indenture
applicable to mergers, consolidations and transfers of all or substantially all

consummate an Offer to Purchase in accordance with the "Limitations on Asset
Sales" or "Repurchase of Notes upon a Change of Control" covenants; (d) FelCor
LP or FelCor defaults in the performance of or breaches any other covenant or
agreement of FelCor LP or FelCor in the Indenture or under the Notes (other than
a default specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) above) and such default or breach
continues for a period of 30 consecutive days after written notice by the
Trustee or the Holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes; (e) there occurs with respect to any issue or issues of Indebtedness of
FelCor LP or FelCor or any Significant Subsidiary having an outstanding
principal amount of $10 million or more in the aggregate for all such issues of
all such Persons, whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be
created, (I) an event of default that has caused the holder thereof to declare
such Indebtedness to be due and payable prior to its Stated Maturity and such
Indebtedness has not been discharged in full or such acceleration has not been
rescinded or annulled within 30 days of such acceleration and/or (II) the
failure to make a principal payment at the final (but not any interim) fixed
maturity and such defaulted payment shall not have been made, waived or extended
within 30 days of such payment default; (f) any final judgment or order (not
covered by insurance) for the payment of money in excess of $10 million in the
aggregate for all such final judgments or orders against all such Persons
(treating any deductibles, self-insurance or retention as not covered by
insurance) shall be rendered against FelCor LP or FelCor or any Significant
Subsidiary and shall not be paid or discharged, and there shall be any period of
60 consecutive days following entry of the final judgment or order that causes
the aggregate amount for all such final judgments or orders outstanding and not
paid or discharged against all such Persons to exceed $10 million during which a
stay of enforcement of such final judgment or order, by reason of a pending
appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect; (g) a court having jurisdiction in
the premises enters a decree or order for (A) relief in respect of FelCor LP or
FelCor or any
                                       97
<PAGE>   105
 
Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, (B) appointment of a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar
official of FelCor LP or FelCor or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or
substantially all of the property and assets of FelCor LP or FelCor or any
Significant Subsidiary or (C) the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of
FelCor LP or FelCor or any Significant Subsidiary and, in each case, such decree
or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive
days; or (h) FelCor LP or FelCor or any Significant Subsidiary (A) commences a
voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law
now or hereafter in effect, or consents to the entry of an order for relief in
an involuntary case under such law, (B) consents to the appointment of or taking
possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator
or similar official of FelCor LP or FelCor or Significant Subsidiary or for all
or substantially all of the property and assets of FelCor LP or FelCor or any
Significant Subsidiary or (C) effects any general assignment for the benefit of
its creditors.
 
     If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause
(g) or (h) above that occurs with respect to FelCor LP or FelCor) occurs and is
continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes, then outstanding, by written notice to
FelCor LP and FelCor (and to the Trustee if such notice is given by the
Holders), may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the
principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes to be
immediately due and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal
of, premium, if any, and accrued interest shall be immediately due and payable.
In the event of a declaration of acceleration because an Event of Default set
forth in clause (e) above has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of
acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of
default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (e) shall be
remedied or cured by FelCor LP, FelCor or the relevant Significant Subsidiary or
waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 60 days after the
declaration of acceleration with respect thereto. If an Event or Default
specified in clause (g) or (h) above occurs with respect to FelCor LP or FelCor,
the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes then
outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without
any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by
written notice to FelCor LP, FelCor and to the Trustee, may waive all past
defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its
consequences if (i) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become
due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived and
(ii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction. As to the waiver of defaults, see "-- Modification and
Waiver."
 
     The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or
power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture, that may involve the Trustee
in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be
unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Notes not joining in the giving
of such direction and may take any other action it deems proper that is not
inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of Notes. A Holder
may not pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless; (i)
the Holder gives the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(ii) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (iii) such
Holder or Holders offer the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee
against any costs, liability or expense; (iv) the Trustee does not comply with
the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of
indemnity; and (v) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a
direction that is inconsistent with the request. However, such limitations do
not apply to the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, such Note or to bring suit for
the enforcement of any such payment on or after the due date expressed in the
Notes, which right shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the
Holder.

<PAGE>   106
 
     The Indenture will require certain officers of FelCor LP and FelCor to
certify, on or before a date not more than 90 days after the end of each fiscal
year, that a review has been conducted of the activities of FelCor LP and FelCor
and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries and of their performance under the
Indenture and that FelCor LP and FelCor have fulfilled all obligations
thereunder, or, if there has been a default in fulfillment of any such
obligation, specifying each such default and the nature and status thereof.
FelCor LP and FelCor will also be obligated to notify the Trustee of any default
or defaults in the performance of any covenants or agreements under the
Indenture.
 
CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND SALE OF ASSETS
 
     Neither FelCor LP nor FelCor will merge with or into, or sell, convey,
transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially of its property and
assets (as an entirety or substantially an entirety in one transaction or a
series of related transactions) to, any Person or permit any Person to merge
with or into FelCor LP or FelCor unless: (i) FelCor LP or FelCor shall be the
continuing Person, or the Person (if other than FelCor LP or FelCor) formed by
such consolidation or into which FelCor LP or FelCor is merged or that acquired
or leased such property and assets of FelCor LP or FelCor shall be an entity
organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or
any state or jurisdiction thereof and shall expressly assume, by a supplemental
indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all of the obligations of
FelCor LP or FelCor on the Notes and under the Indenture; (ii) immediately after
giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing; (iii) immediately after giving effect to such
transaction on a pro forma basis FelCor LP or FelCor, or any Person becoming the
successor obligor of the Notes, as the case may be, could Incur at least $1.00
of Indebtedness under paragraphs (a) and (b) of the "Limitation on Indebtedness"
covenant; provided that this clause (iii) shall not apply to a consolidation or
merger with or into a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary with a positive net
worth; provided that, in connection with any such merger or consolidation, no
consideration (other than Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) in the
surviving Person or FelCor LP or FelCor) shall be issued or distributed to the
holders of Capital Stock of FelCor LP or FelCor; and (iv) FelCor LP or FelCor
delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate (attaching the arithmetic
computations to demonstrate compliance with clause (iii)) and an Opinion of
Counsel, in each case stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and
such supplemental indenture complies with this provision and that all conditions
precedent provided for herein relating to such transaction have been complied
with; provided that clause (iii) above does not apply if, in the good faith
determination of the Board of Directors of FelCor LP or FelCor, whose
determination shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution, the principal purpose of
such transaction is to change the state of domicile of FelCor LP or FelCor; and
provided, further, that any such transaction shall not have as one of its
purposes the evasion of the foregoing limitations.
 
DEFEASANCE
 
     Defeasance and Discharge. The Indenture provides that FelCor LP, FelCor and
the Subsidiary Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and will be discharged
from any and all obligations in respect of the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee

federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same
times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had
not occurred, which Opinion of Counsel must be based upon (and accompanied by a
copy of) a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service to the same effect unless
there has been a change in applicable federal income tax law after
                                       99

other things, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal
income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance of certain
covenants and Events of Default and will be subject to federal income tax on the
same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the
case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred.
 
     Defeasance and Certain Other Events of Default. In the event FelCor LP
exercises its option to omit compliance with certain covenants and provisions of
the Indenture with respect to the Notes as described in the immediately
preceding paragraph and the Notes are declared due and payable because of the
occurrence of an Event of Default that remains applicable, the amount of money
and/or U.S. Government Obligations on deposit with the Trustee will be
sufficient to pay amounts due on the Notes at the time of their Stated Maturity
but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the Notes at the time of the
acceleration resulting from such Event of Default. However, FelCor LP, FelCor
and the Subsidiary Guarantors will remain liable for such payments.
 
MODIFICATION AND WAIVER
 
     Subject to certain limited exceptions, modifications and amendments of the
Indenture may be made by FelCor LP, FelCor and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes; provided that no such modification or amendment may, without
the consent of each Holder affected thereby, (i) change the Stated Maturity of
the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Note, (ii) reduce the
principal amount of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Note, (iii) change
the place of payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any
Note, (iv) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment
on or after the Stated Maturity (or, in the case of a redemption, on or after
the Redemption Date) of any Note, (v) reduce the above-stated percentages of
outstanding Notes the consent of whose Holders is necessary to modify or amend
the Indenture, (vi) waive a default in the payment of principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on the Notes, (vii) voluntarily release a Guarantor of the
Notes or (viii) reduce the percentage or aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Notes the consent of whose Holders is necessary for waiver of
compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or for waiver of certain
defaults.

NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OF INCORPORATORS, PARTNERS, STOCKHOLDERS, OFFICERS,
DIRECTORS, OR EMPLOYEES
 
     The Indenture provides that no recourse for the payment of the principal
of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes or for any claim based
thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any
obligation, covenant or agreement of FelCor LP or FelCor in the Indenture, or in
any of the Notes or because of the creation of any Indebtedness represented
thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, partner, stockholder, officer,
director, employee or controlling person of FelCor LP, FelCor or the Subsidiary
Guarantors or of any successor Person thereof. Each Holder, by accepting the
Notes, waives and releases all such liability.
 
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
 
     The Indenture provides that, except during the continuance of a Default,
the Trustee will not be liable, except for the performance of such duties as are
specifically set forth in such Indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Trustee will use the same degree of care and skill in its
exercise of the rights and powers vested in it under the Indenture as a prudent
person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's
own affairs.
 
     The Indenture and provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended, incorporated by reference therein contain limitations on the rights of
the Trustee, should it become a creditor of FelCor LP or FelCor, to obtain
payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by
it in respect of any such claims, as security or otherwise. The Trustee is
permitted to engage in other transactions; provided that if it acquires any
conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict or resign.
 
BOOK ENTRY; DELIVERY AND FORM
 
     The certificates representing the New Notes will be issued in fully
registered form without interest coupons. Old Notes sold in reliance on Rule
144A are represented by the Global Old Notes. New Notes issued in exchange for
the Global Old Notes will be issued in the form of one or more Global New Notes
and will be deposited with the Trustee as custodian for, and registered in the
name of a nominee of, DTC.
 
     Old Notes originally purchased by or transferred to Institutional
Accredited Investors who are not qualified institutional buyers ("Non-Global
Purchasers") were in registered form without interest coupons and represented by
the Certificated Old Notes. New Notes issued in exchange for the Certificated
Old Notes will be issued in the form of one or more Certificated New Notes.
 
     Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be limited to
persons who have accounts with DTC ("participants") or persons who hold
interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global
Note will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only
through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee (with respect to interests of
participants) and the records of participants (with respect to interests of
persons other than participants). Qualified institutional buyers may hold their
interests in a Global Note directly through DTC if they are participants in such
system, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such
system.
 
     So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of a
Global Note, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the
sole owner or holder of the Notes represented by such Global Note for all
purposes under the Indenture and the Notes. No beneficial owner of an interest
in a Global Note will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance
with DTC's applicable procedures, in addition to those provided for under the
Indenture.
 
     Payments of the principal of, and interest on, a Global Note will be made
to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner thereof.
Neither FelCor LP, FelCor, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee nor any Paying
Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a
Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to
such beneficial ownership interests.
 
                                       101
<PAGE>   109
 
     FelCor LP expects that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of
principal or interest in respect of a Global Note, will credit participants'
accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial
interests in the principal amount of such Global Note as shown on the records of
DTC or its nominee. FelCor LP also expects that payments by participants to
owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note held through such
participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices,
as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered
in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the
responsibility of such participants.
 
     Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in the ordinary way
in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in same-day funds.
 
     FelCor LP expects that DTC will take any action permitted to be taken by a
holder of Notes (including the presentation of Notes for exchange as described
below) only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account the
DTC interests in a Global Note is credited and only in respect of such portion
of the aggregate principal amount of Notes as to which such participant or
participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of
Default under the Notes, DTC will exchange the applicable Global Note for
Certificated Notes, which it will distribute to its participants and which, in
the case of a Global Old Note, may be legended with respect to the restrictions
on transfer thereof.
 
     FelCor LP understands that: DTC is a limited purpose trust company
organized under the laws of the State of New York, a "banking organization"
within the meaning of New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve
System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial
Code and a "Clearing Agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section
17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participants
and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between
participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its
participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates
and certain other organizations. Indirect access to the DTC system is available
to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through
or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or
indirectly ("indirect participants").
 
     Although DTC is expected to follow the foregoing procedures in order to
facilitate transfers of interests in a Global Note among its participants, it is
under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such
procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither FelCor LP, FelCor, any
Subsidiary Guarantor, nor the Trustee will have any responsibility for the
performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their
respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing its operations.
 
     If DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for
the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed by FelCor LP within
90 days, FelCor LP will issue Certificated Notes, which, in the case of a Global
Old Note, may bear a legend with respect to the restrictions on transfer
thereof, in exchange for the Global Notes. Holders of an interest in a Global
Note may receive Certificated Notes, which, in the case of a Global Old Note,
may bear a legend with respect to the restrictions on transfer thereof, in
accordance with the DTC's rules and procedures in addition to those provided for
under the Indenture.
 
                 UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
GENERAL
 
     In the opinion of Jenkens & Gilchrist, a Professional Corporation, the
following are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of exchanging
Old Notes for New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. The following opinion is
based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), existing
and proposed regulations thereunder, Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") rulings
and pronouncements, reports of congressional committees, judicial decisions and
current administrative rulings and practice, all as in effect on the date
hereof, all of which are subject to change at any time, and any such change may
be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect the tax
consequences described below.
 
                                       102
<PAGE>   110
 
     This opinion applies only to Notes held as "capital assets" within the
meaning of section 1221 of the Code (generally property held for investment and
not for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business) by
holders who or which are (i) citizens or residents of the United States, (ii)
domestic corporations, partnerships or other entities or (iii) otherwise subject
to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis in respect of income and
gain from the Notes. This opinion does not address aspects of U.S. federal
income taxation that may be applicable to holders that are subject to special
tax rules, such as certain financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations,
insurance companies, dealers in securities, foreign corporations and nonresident
alien individuals. Moreover, this summary does not address any of the U.S.
federal income tax consequences of holders that do not acquire New Notes
pursuant to the Exchange Offer, nor does it address the applicability or effect
of any state, local or foreign tax laws.
 
     The Company has not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS with
respect to the position of the Company discussed below. There can be no
assurance that the IRS will not take a different position concerning the tax
consequences of exchanging Old Notes for New Notes.
 
EXCHANGE OFFER
 
     The exchange of Old Notes for New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer will
not be treated as an "exchange" for U.S. federal income tax purposes because the
New Notes will not be considered to differ materially in kind or extent from the
Old Notes. New Notes received by a holder of Old Notes will be treated as a
continuation of the Old Notes in the hands of such holder. Accordingly, there
will not be any U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders exchanging Old
Notes for New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. A holder's holding period of
New Notes will include the holding period of the Old Notes exchanged therefor.
 
     EACH HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH REGARD TO THE
APPLICATION OF THE TAX CONSIDERATIONS DISCUSSED ABOVE TO THEIR PARTICULAR
SITUATIONS AS WELL AS THE APPLICATION OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAX
LAWS.
 
                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
   
     Except as described below, (i) a broker-dealer may not participate in the
Exchange Offer in connection with a distribution of the New Notes, (ii) such
broker-dealer would be deemed an underwriter in connection with such
distribution and (iii) such broker-dealer would be required to comply with the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in
connection with any secondary resale transaction. A broker-dealer may, however,
receive New Notes for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange
for Old Notes when such Old Notes were acquired as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities. Each such broker-dealer must acknowledge
that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New
Notes. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time,
may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of New Notes. FelCor
LP has agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date, it will
make this Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any such
broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale.
    
 
     The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sales of New Notes by
broker-dealers. New Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account
pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more
transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through
the writing of options on the New Notes or a combination of such methods of
resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to
such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made
directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive
compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such
broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such New Notes. Any broker-dealer
that resells New Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to
the Exchange Offer may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of
the Securities Act and any profit of any such resale of New Notes and any
commissions or concessions received by such persons may be deemed to be
underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal
states that by
 
                                       103
<PAGE>   111
 
acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a
broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Securities Act.
 
   
     For a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date, FelCor LP will promptly
send additional copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to
this Prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the Letter
of Transmittal. FelCor LP has agreed to pay all expenses incident to the
Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the holders of the
Notes) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and
transfer taxes and will indemnify the holders of Old Notes (including any
broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.
    
 
   
     The New Notes will constitute a new issue of securities with no established
trading market. FelCor LP does not intend to list the New Notes on any national
securities exchange or to seek approval for quotation through any automated
quotation system. The Company has been advised by the Initial Purchasers that
following completion of the Exchange Offer, the Initial Purchasers intend to
make a market in the New Notes. However, the Initial Purchasers are not
obligated to do so and any market-making activities with respect to the New
Notes may be discontinued at any time without notice. Accordingly, no assurance
can be given that an active public or other market will develop for the New
Notes or as to the liquidity of or the trading market for the New Notes. If a
trading market does not develop or is not maintained, the holders of the New
Notes may experience difficulty in reselling the New Notes or may be unable to
sell them at all. If a market for the New Notes develops, any such market may
cease to continue at any time. If a public trading market develops for the New
Notes, future trading prices of the New Notes will depend on many factors,
including, among other things, prevailing interest rates, the Company's results
of operations and the market for similar securities and other factors, including
the financial condition of the Company.
    
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
     Certain legal matters with respect to the legality of the Notes will be
passed upon for FelCor and FelCor LP by Jenkens & Gilchrist, a Professional
Corporation, Dallas, Texas.

          (UNAUDITED, AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT FOR PER SHARE DATA)
 
     The following unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations of
FelCor Suite Hotels, Inc. (the "Company") are presented as if the acquisitions
of all hotels owned by the Company at December 31, 1996, those hotels acquired
in 1997 through September 30, 1997 (collectively the "Hotels"), the 1997
placement of the $300 million senior unsecured debt, the preferred stock
offering consummated during 1996 and the common stock offerings consummated
during 1997, and related transactions had occurred as of January 1, 1996 and the
Hotels had all been leased to DJONT Operations, L.L.C. or its consolidated
subsidiaries (the "Lessee") pursuant to Percentage Leases. Such pro forma
information is based in part upon the Consolidated Statements of Operations of
the Company, Pro Forma Statements of Operations of DJONT Operations, L.L.C. and
the historical statements of operations of the acquired hotels. In management's
opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of these transactions
have been made.
 
     The following unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for
the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of what actual results of
operations of the Company would have been assuming such transactions had been
completed on January 1, 1996, nor does it purport to represent the results of
operations for future periods.

     (1) Pro forma interest expense represents interest expense applicable to
         the pro forma weighted average borrowings outstanding during the
         periods presented which at times exceeds the pro forma borrowings
         outstanding at the end of the periods.
 
     (2) Pro forma weighted average borrowings under the Notes exceeded
         historical weighted average borrowings under the Line of Credit for
         much of 1996, resulting in additional interest expense relating to the
         excess amount borrowed that could not be used to repay borrowings under
         the Line of Credit. The pro forma statements of operations do not
         include a pro forma adjustment to recognize interest income on such
         excess cash and cash equivalents.
 
(J)  Calculated as approximately 7.35% and 7.42% of income before minority
     interest for pro forma results of operations for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996, respectively.
 
(K) Represents historical and pro forma minority interest expense related to 3
    hotels in which the Company has a 90% general partnership interest. Minority
    interest is calculated as 10% of net income computed using the rent
    provisions of the Percentage Leases to the historical suite revenues;
    historical taxes, insurance and other; historical depreciation expense; and
    historical interest expenses. This computation is as follows:

     The Company completed construction and placed into service on July 1, 1997,
129 net additional suites, meeting rooms and other public area upgrades at its
Boston-Marlborough, Massachusetts hotel at an approximate cost of $15.9 million.
The Company is constructing 67 additional suites at its Jacksonville, Florida
hotel and 67 additional suites at its Orlando (North), Florida hotel at an
aggregate projected cost of $10.2 million with an expected completion in early
1998.
 
     The Company leases all of the Hotels to DJONT Operations, L.L.C. ("DJONT"),
or a consolidated subsidiary thereof (collectively, the "Lessee"), under
operating leases providing for the payment of percentage rent (the "Percentage
Leases"). Hervey A. Feldman and Thomas J. Corcoran, Jr., the Chairman of the
Board and President of the Company, respectively, beneficially own a 50% voting
equity interest in DJONT. The remaining 50% non-voting equity interest in DJONT
is beneficially owned by the children of Charles N. Mathewson, a director of the
Company and shareholder of the predecessor company. The Company's partners in
partnerships owning 12 of the Hotels hold special purpose non-voting equity
interests in the consolidated subsidiary of DJONT which leases such Hotels,
which interests entitle them to 50% of such subsidiary's net income before
overhead with respect to such Hotels. In addition, the Company's partner in a
partnership owning three of the Hotels holds a 50% non-voting equity interest in
the consolidated subsidiary of DJONT leasing those Hotels. See Note 2

       aggregate of $500 million in securities, which may include its debt
       securities, preferred stock, common stock and/or common stock warrants.
       The Company received net proceeds of approximately $100.7 million from

       immediately fund the acquisition of 10 hotels acquired on February 4,
       1997.

FelCor Suites Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), which owned six Embassy
Suites(R) hotels (the "Initial Hotels") with an aggregate of 1,479 suites. The

the "Company"). FelCor also acts as the sole general partner in the Partnership.
The Company owns 100% equity interests in 37 of the Hotels, a 97% interest in
the partnership that owns the Los Angeles International Airport hotel and 50%
interests in separate partnerships that own five hotels. At December 31, 1996,
39 of the Hotels are operated as Embassy Suites hotels, two as Doubletree Guest
Suites(R) hotels, one as a Hilton Suites(R) hotel and one hotel is in the

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     The Company leased all of the Hotels to DJONT Operations, L.L.C. or a
consolidated subsidiary (collectively the "Lessee") under operating leases
providing for the payment of percentage rent (the "Percentage Leases"). Messrs.
Feldman and Corcoran beneficially own 50% of the common equity interest in the
Lessee. The remaining 50% of the Lessee is beneficially owned by the children of
Charles N. Mathewson, a director of the Company. The Lessee has entered into
management agreements pursuant to which 38 of the Hotels are managed by Promus
Hotels, Inc. ("Promus"), two of the Hotels are managed by a subsidiary of
Doubletree Hotel Corporation ("Doubletree"), two of the Hotels are managed by
American General Hospitality, Inc. ("AGHI") and one is managed by Coastal Hotel
Group, Inc. ("Coastal").
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Principles of Consolidation -- The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of FelCor, the Partnership and the Holdings Partnerships as
described in Note 8. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated.
 
     Investment in Hotels -- Hotels are stated at cost and are depreciated using
the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 31-40 years
for buildings and improvements and 5 to 7 years for furniture, fixtures and
equipment.
 
     The Company reviews the carrying value of each hotel to determine if
circumstances exist indicating an impairment in the carrying value of the
investment in the hotel or that depreciation periods should be modified. If
facts or circumstances support the possibility of impairment, the Company will
prepare a projection of the undiscounted future cash flows, without interest
charges, of the specific hotel and determine if the investment in such hotel is
recoverable based on the undiscounted future cash flows. If impairment is
indicated, an adjustment will be made to the carrying value of the hotel based
on discounted future cash flows. The Company does not believe that there are any
factors or circumstances indicating impairment of any of its investment in
hotels.
 
     Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a
fixed asset, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts, and the related gain or loss is included in operations.
 
     Investment in Unconsolidated Partnerships -- The Company owns a 50%
interest in various partnerships in which the partners jointly make all material
decisions concerning the business, affairs and operation of the partnerships.
Accordingly, the Company does not control the partnerships and carries its
investment in unconsolidated partnerships at cost, plus its equity in net
earnings, less distributions received since the date of acquisition. Equity in
net earnings is being adjusted for the straight-line amortization, over a 40
year period, of the difference between the Company's cost and its proportionate
share of the underlying net assets at date of acquisition.
 
     Cash and Cash Equivalents -- All highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
     Deposits and Prepayments -- Deposits and prepayments at December 31, 1996
consist of deposits associated with the capitalized land and building lease
further described in Note 5. At December 31, 1995 the deposits and prepayments
consisted of the aforementioned deposits and prepayments associated with hotel
purchases.

</TABLE>
 
     Amortization of organization costs is computed using the straight-line
method over three to five years. Amortization of deferred financing fees is
computed using the interest method over the maturity of the loans.
 
     Revenue Recognition -- Percentage lease revenue is recognized when earned
from the Lessee under the Percentage Lease agreements (Note 9). The Lessee is in
compliance with its obligations under the Percentage Leases.
 
     Net Income Per Common Share -- Net income per common share has been
computed by dividing net income applicable to common shareholders by the
weighted average number of common shares and equivalents outstanding. Common
share equivalents that have an immaterial dilutive effect include convertible
preferred stock and outstanding common stock options.
 
     Distributions and Dividends -- The Company pays regular quarterly
distributions on its common stock which are dependent on receipt of
distributions from the Partnership. Additionally, the Company pays regular
quarterly dividends on preferred stock in accordance with its preferred stock
dividend requirements.
 
     Minority Interest -- Minority interest in the Partnership represents the
limited partners' proportionate share of the equity in the Partnership. Income
is allocated to minority interest based on the weighted average percentage
ownership throughout the year.
 
     Stock Based Compensation Plans -- The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25
and related interpretations in its accounting for stock based compensation
plans. Accordingly the Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions of
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation."
 
     Income Taxes -- The Company is qualified as a REIT under Sections 856 to
860 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income
taxes has been reflected in the financial statements.
 
     Earnings and profits, which will determine the taxability of distributions
to shareholders, will differ from income reported for financial reporting
purposes primarily due to the differences for federal income tax purposes in the
estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation. Distributions made in 1996
and 1995 represent approximately a 11.5% and 8.7% return of capital,
respectively, for federal income tax purposes.

     On September 30, 1996 the Company obtained a $250 million unsecured
revolving credit facility ("Line of Credit"). Under this facility, the Company
has the right to borrow up to $250 million based upon its ownership of
qualifying unencumbered hotel assets until October 1, 1999, at which time the
principal amount then outstanding will be due and payable. Interest payable on
borrowings is variable, determined from a ratings based pricing matrix,
initially set at LIBOR plus 175 basis points and is paid current throughout the

year. Additionally, the Company is required to pay an unused commitment fee
which is variable, determined from a ratings based pricing matrix, initially set
at 35 basis points. The Company paid unused commitment fees of approximately
$164,000 during 1996. At December 31, 1996, the line of credit interest rate was
7.25%.
 
     On March 10, 1997 the Company announced that it increased its Line of
Credit from $250 million to $400 million which included a reduction in unused
commitment fees from 35 basis points to 25 basis points, under substantially the
same terms as the original Line of Credit.
 
     Simultaneous with the closing of the Line of Credit in September, 1996, the
Company retired a $65 million collateralized term loan and replaced an existing
$100 million collateralized revolving credit facility with an $85 million
four-year collateralized term loan. This term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus
150 basis points, interest is paid current throughout the year, and the note is
collateralized by interests in nine of the Company's hotels. Principal payments
commence on October 1, 1997 and are based on a 15 year amortization schedule,
adjusted annually for the then current interest rates. All outstanding principal
and accrued interest is due and payable on September 30, 2000. At December 31,
1996 the term loan interest rate was 7.125%.
 
     The Company has a $25 million loan facility ("Renovation Loan") which has
been used to fund a portion of the renovation cost of the CSS Hotels (Note 8)
converted to Embassy Suites hotels. The facility is guaranteed by Promus, bears
interest at LIBOR plus 45 basis points (6.08% at December 31, 1996), requires
monthly interest payments, and quarterly principal payments of $1.25 million
beginning June 1999 and matures in June 2000.
 
     Under its loan agreements, the Company is required to satisfy various
affirmative and negative covenants. The Company was in compliance with these
covenants at December 31, 1996.
 
     During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company entered into two separate
interest rate swap agreements to manage the relative mix of its debt between
fixed and variable rate instruments. These interest rate swap agreements modify
a portion of the interest characteristics of FelCor's outstanding debt without
an exchange of the underlying principal amount and effectively convert variable
rate debt to a fixed rate. The fixed rates to be paid, the effective fixed rate,
and the variable rate to be received by FelCor at December 31, 1996 are
summarized in the following table:

</TABLE>
 
     The differences to be paid or received by the Company under the terms of
the interest rate swap agreements are accrued as interest rates change and
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense by the Company pursuant to the
terms of its interest rate agreement and will have a corresponding effect on its
future cash flows. Agreements such as these contain a credit risk that the
counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreement. The Company
minimizes that risk by evaluating the creditworthiness of its counterparties,
which is limited to major banks and financial institutions, and does not
anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     The Company's charter limits consolidated indebtedness to 40% of the
Company's investment in hotels, at cost, on a consolidated basis, after giving
effect to the Company's use of proceeds from any indebtedness. For purposes of
this limitation, the Company's consolidated indebtedness includes borrowings and
capital lease obligations and consolidated investment in hotels, at cost, is its
investment, at cost, in hotels, as reflected in its consolidated financial
statements plus (to the extent not otherwise reflected) the value (as determined
by the Board of Directors at the time of issuance) of any equity securities
issued, otherwise than for cash, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries in
connection with the acquisition of hotels. Under this definition as of December
31, 1996, the Company's investment in hotels at cost was $1.0 billion.
Accordingly, the Company's maximum permitted indebtedness would have been
approximately $400 million (of which $239 million was borrowed at December 31,
1996). Assuming all of this additional debt capacity, and the Company's
available cash and cash equivalents were used for the acquisition of additional
hotels, the Company's investment in hotels would increase to approximately $1.3
billion and the maximum permitted indebtedness would increase to approximately
$525 million.
 
6. CAPITAL STOCK
 
     At December 31, 1996 the Company had completed the following public
offerings:

</TABLE>
 
     On April 25, 1996, the SEC declared effective the Company's omnibus shelf
registration statement ("Shelf Registration"), which provides for offerings by
the Company from time to time of up to an aggregate of $500 million in
securities, which may include its debt securities, preferred stock, common stock
and/or common stock warrants. The Company had issued approximately $151 million
under the Shelf Registration at December 31, 1996 leaving approximately $349
million available. In February 1997, the Company issued approximately $107
million in common stock under the Shelf Registration.
 
  Preferred Stock
 
     The Board of Directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of up to
10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, to establish the
number of shares in each series and to fix the designation, powers preferences,
and rights of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof. On May 6, 1996, the Company completed an offering,
pursuant to the Shelf Registration of six million shares of its $1.95 Series A
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") at $25 per
share. An additional fifty thousand shares of Series A Preferred Stock were
issued at $25 per share pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters'
over-allotment option. The Series A Preferred Stock bears an annual dividend
equal to the greater of $1.95 per share (yielding 7.8% based on the $25 purchase
price) or the cash distributions declared or paid for the corresponding period
on the number of shares of common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock
is then convertible and is cumulative from May 6, 1996. Each share of the Series
A Preferred Stock is convertible at the shareholder's option to 0.7752 shares of
common stock, subject to certain adjustments, and may not be redeemed by the
Company before April 30, 2001. At December 31, 1996, all dividends then payable
on the Preferred Stock had been paid.

9. COMMITMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     After conversion of the Myrtle Beach hotel acquired in December 1996, the
Company will own interests in 40 Embassy Suites hotels, 2 Doubletree Guest
Suites hotels and one Hilton Suites hotel. The Embassy Suites hotels and the
Hilton Suites hotel operate pursuant to franchise license agreements, which
require the payment of fees based on a percentage of suite revenue. These fees
are paid by the Lessee. There are no separate franchise license agreements for
the Doubletree Guest Suites hotels.
 
     The Hotels are managed by Promus, Doubletree, AGHI or Coastal on behalf of
the Lessee. The Lessee pays the managers a base management fee based on a
percentage of suite revenue and an incentive management fee based on the
Lessee's income before overhead expenses for each hotel.
 
     The Company is to receive rental income from the Lessee under the
Percentage Leases which expire in 2004 (7 hotels), 2005 (12 hotels) and 2006 (19
hotels). The rental income under the Percentage Leases between the partnerships
owning five hotels, of which the Company owns 50%, and the Lessee is payable to
the respective partnerships and as such is not included in the following
schedule of future lease commitments to the Company. Minimum future rental
income (base rents) under these noncancellable operating leases (excluding
hotels owned by the previously noted partnerships) at December 31, 1996 is as
follows (in thousands):

     The Percentage Lease revenue is based on a percentage of suite revenues,
food and beverage revenues, and food and beverage rents of the Hotels. Both the
base rent and the threshold suite revenue in each lease computation are subject
to adjustments for changes in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). The adjustment
is calculated at the beginning of each calendar year, for the hotels acquired
prior to July of the previous year. The adjustment in any lease year may not
exceed 7%. The CPI adjustments made in January 1997 and 1996 are 1.42% and 0.73%
respectively.
 
     Under the Percentage Leases, the Partnership is obligated to pay the costs
of real estate and personal property taxes, property insurance, maintenance of
underground utilities and structural elements of the Hotels, and to set aside 4%
of suite revenues per month, on a cumulative basis, to fund therefrom (or from
other sources) capital expenditures for the periodic replacement or
refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment required for the retention of
the franchise licenses with respect to the Hotels. In addition, the Company will
incur certain additional capital expenditures in connection with the conversion
and upgrade of acquired hotels, which may be funded from cash on hand or
borrowings under its line of credit.
 
     At December 31, 1996 the Company is committed to fund capital improvements
to certain of its hotels of approximately $22 million pursuant to product
improvements plans as required by the franchisors. These capital improvements
are expected to be funded in 1997.
 
     The Company has entered into employment contracts with Messrs. Feldman and
Corcoran, that will continue in effect until December 31, 1999 and, unless
terminated, will be automatically renewed for successive one year terms.
Pursuant to such agreements, Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran each received $5,000
per month during 1994, $10,000 per month during 1995 and $10,270 per month in
1996. Effective January 1, 1997, Mr. Feldman is entitled to receive $12,500 per
month and Mr. Corcoran is entitled to receive $16,667 per month. In addition,
the Company is required to maintain a comprehensive medical plan for such
persons.
 
     The Company shares the executive offices and certain employees with FelCor,
Inc. and the Lessee, and each company bears its share of the costs thereof,
including an allocated portion of the rent, compensation of certain personnel
(other than Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran, whose compensation is borne solely by
the Company), office supplies, telephones and depreciation of office furniture,
fixtures and equipment. Any such allocation of shared expenses to the Company
must be approved by a majority of the independent directors. During 1996 and
1995, the Company paid approximately $807,000 (approximately 38%) and $316,000
(approximately 31%), respectively, of the allocable expenses under this
agreement.

11. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
 
     The Company sponsors the FelCor Suite Hotels, Inc. 1994 Restricted Stock
and Stock Option Plan ("1994 Plan"), and the FelCor Suite Hotels, Inc. 1995
Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plan (the "1995 Plan" and collectively, the
"Plan"), which are stock based incentive compensation plans as described below.
The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for
the Plan. In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB
Statement No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123") which, if
fully adopted by the Company, would change the methods the Company applies in
recognizing the cost of the Plan. Adoption of the cost recognition provisions of
SFAS 123 is optional and the Company has decided not to adopt these provisions
of SFAS 123. However, pro forma disclosures as if the Company adopted the cost
recognition provisions of SFAS 123 in 1995 are required by SFAS 123 and are
presented below.
 
  Stock Options
 
     The Company is authorized to issue 450,000 shares of common stock under the
1994 Plan and 1,200,000 shares of common stock under the 1995 Plan pursuant to
awards granted in the form of incentive stock options qualified under Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, non-qualified stock
options and restricted stock. All options have 10 year contractual terms and
vest over five years, (20% per year), beginning in the year following the date
of grant. Awards may be made to key executives and other key employees of the
Company, including officers of the Company and its subsidiaries.
 
     A total of 50,000 shares of stock may be issued as restricted stock under
the 1994 Plan and a total of 133,333 shares of stock may be issued as restricted
stock under the 1995 Plan.
 
     Under the Plan, the Company granted a total of 345,000 nonqualified stock
options in 1995 and 327,500 nonqualified stock options in 1996.

     The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted
average assumptions: dividend yield of 8.00%; risk free interest rates are
different for each grant and range from 5.57% to 6.47%; the expected lives of
options are 6 years; and volatility of 24.42% for all grants. The weighted
average fair value of options granted during 1996 was $3.76 per share and the
weighted average fair value of options granted during 1995 was $3.13 per share.
 
  Restricted Stock
 
     The Company may grant restricted (i.e., nonvested) shares of common stock
under the 1994 Plan and 1995 Plan. Under the 1994 Plan, the Company may grant to
employees (including officers and directors who also are employees and
independent directors), as restricted common stock all or a portion of the
50,000 shares of common stock reserved under the 1994 Plan. Under the 1995 Plan,
the Company may grant to employees (including officers and directors who also
are employees and independent directors), as restricted common stock all or a
portion of the 133,333 shares of common stock reserved under the 1995 Plan.
 
     In 1995, the Company issued 46,500 shares of restricted common stock under
the Plan. A total of 42,500 shares vest over a five year period (20% per year,
beginning in the year following the date of grant), and the remaining 4,000
shares, granted to independent directors in lieu of cash compensation, vested
immediately on the date of grant.
 
     In 1996, the Company issued 33,000 shares of restricted common stock under
the Plan. A total of 26,500 of the shares vest over a five year period (20% per
year, beginning in the year following the first anniversary date of the grant),
4,000 shares granted to independent directors in lieu of cash compensation,
vested immediately on the date of grant, and the remaining 2,500 shares vest
100% on January 1, 1997.
 
     In accordance with APB 25, upon the issuance of restricted shares of common
stock under the Plan, the Company recognized a compensation cost for the
restricted common stock in the amount of $1.5 million for 1996 and $631,000 for
1995. This cost is charged to shareholders' equity and recognized as
amortization expense ratably over the applicable vesting period, in the amount
of $507,000 for 1996 and $158,000 for 1995.

14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 107 requires all
entities to disclose the fair value of certain financial instruments in their
financial statements. Accordingly, the Company reports the carrying amount of
cash and cash equivalents, amounts due from the Lessee, accounts payable and
accrued expenses at cost which approximates fair value due to the short maturity
of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company's borrowings
approximates fair value due to the Company's ability to obtain such borrowings
at comparable interest rates.
 
15. PRO FORMA INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
 
     Due to the impact of the acquisition of hotels in 1996 and 1995, the

16. RECENTLY ISSUED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
     SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("EPS"), was issued in October 1996.
This statement specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure
requirements for EPS and is effective for financial statements issued for
periods ending after December 15, 1997. The statement requires restatement of
all prior period EPS data presented, including interim financial statement,
summaries of earnings, and selected financial data, after the effective date.
The Company has determined the effect of adoption will have an immaterial impact
on previously reported EPS numbers.
 
17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
     On February 3, 1997 the Company announced the closing of a common stock
offering pursuant to the Company's $500 million Shelf Registration, covering a
variety of debt and equity securities. The offering was for 3 million shares of
common stock to the public at $35.50 per share, providing the Company with net
proceeds of approximately $100.7 million.
 
     The Company used the majority of the proceeds of this common stock offering
to purchase 50% joint venture interests in eight existing Embassy Suite hotels
and to acquire full ownership of two additional hotels. Promus continues to own
the remaining 50% interest in the eight joint venture hotels, which will
continue to operate as Embassy Suites under management by Promus. The two
wholly-owned hotels will be converted to Doubletree Guest Suites hotels by the
end of the second quarter of 1997 and are being managed by a subsidiary of
Doubletree Hotels Corporation. The aggregate purchase price for the Company's

these 10 hotels was approximately $139 million, including the Company's pro rata
share of approximately $86 million in non-recourse debt held by the joint
ventures.
 
     On February 18, 1997 the Company purchased the 215-suite Embassy Suites Los
Angeles Airport (LAX) North hotel for approximately $22 million cash. Promus
will continue to manage the hotel as an Embassy Suites hotel.
 
     On February 20, 1997 the Company purchased a 198-suite hotel in Dana Point,
CA for approximately $17.2 million cash. The Dana Point hotel will be converted
to a Doubletree Guest Suites hotel and will be managed by a subsidiary of
Doubletree Hotels Corporation.
 
18. QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS (UNAUDITED)
 
     The Company's unaudited consolidated quarterly operating data for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 follows (in thousands, except per share data).
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of quarterly results have been
reflected in the data. It is also management's opinion, however, that quarterly
operating data for hotel enterprises are not indicative of results to be
achieved in succeeding quarters or years. In order to obtain a more accurate
indication of performance, there should be a review of operating results,
changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for a period of several years.
The data should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" appearing elsewhere

     (1) Pro forma interest expense represents interest expense applicable to
         the pro forma weighted average borrowings outstanding during the
         periods presented which at times exceeds the pro forma borrowings
         outstanding at the end of the periods.
 
     (2) Pro forma weighted average borrowings under the Notes exceeded
         historical weighted average borrowings under the Line of Credit for
         much of 1996, resulting in additional interest expense relating to the
         excess amount borrowed that could not be used to repay borrowings under
         the Line of Credit. The pro forma statements of operations do not
         include a pro forma adjustment to recognize interest income on such
         excess cash and cash equivalents.

Company and shareholder of the predecessor company. The Company's partners in
partnerships owning 12 of the Hotels hold special purpose non-voting equity
interests in the consolidated subsidiary of DJONT which leases such Hotels,

overhead with respect to such Hotels. In addition, the Company's partner in a
partnership owning three of the Hotels holds a 50% non-voting equity interest in
the consolidated subsidiary of DJONT leasing those Hotels. See Note 2

       interest. Doubletree will continue to manage the capitalized hotels.
 
     - On May 15, 1997 the Company acquired a 50% partnership interest in the

     - On July 28, 1997 the Company acquired three Doubletree Guest Suites

       This dividend is payable on October 31, 1997.
 
     - On August 14, 1997 the Company announced that it had increased its
       unsecured revolving line of credit from $400 million to $550 million,
       extended the maturity for an additional year to September 30, 2000 and
       reduced the effective interest rate.
 
     - Following the end of the third quarter, the Company announced the
       completion of a private placement of $300 million of long term senior
       unsecured notes. The notes were issued in two maturities, consisting of
       $175 million of 7 3/8% notes due 2004 and $125 million of 7 5/8% notes

       collateralized term loan and to pay down the Line of Credit. The Company
       has filed a registration statement with the SEC, which has not yet been
       declared effective, to exchange this privately placed debt for registered

3. COMMITMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     Upon final completion of the conversion of one hotel, the Hotels will
operate as Embassy Suites (52), Doubletree Guest Suites (12), Sheraton Suites
(2), Sheraton (4) and Hilton Suites (1) hotels. The Embassy Suites hotels and
Hilton Suites hotel will operate pursuant to franchise license agreements which
require the payment of fees based on a percentage of suite revenue. These fees
are paid by the Lessee. There are no separate franchise license agreements with
respect to the Doubletree Guest Suites hotels, Sheraton hotels or Sheraton
Suites hotels, which rights are included in the management agreement.
 
     The Lessee generally pays the managers a base management fee based on a
percentage of total revenue and an incentive management fee based on the
Lessee's net income before overhead expenses. In certain instances, the hotel
managers have subordinated fees and committed to make subordinated loans to the
Lessee, if needed, to meet its rental and other obligations under the leases.
 
     The Company is to receive rental income from the Lessee under the
Percentage Leases which expire in 2004 (7 hotels), 2005 (12 hotels), 2006 (19
hotels) and 2007 (19 hotels). The rental income under the Percentage Leases
between the 14 unconsolidated partnerships, of which the Company owns 50%, and
the Lessee are payable to the respective partnerships and as such is not

its existing unsecured Line of Credit to increase availability to $550 million,
extend the term by one year to September 30, 2000 and to reduce the effective
interest rate. Interest payable on borrowings under the Line of Credit is

senior unsecured private placement debt, which the Company placed on October 1,
1997, bears interest at 7 3/8% for the notes due 2004 and 7 5/8% for the notes
due 2007. The Company has filed a registration statement with the SEC, which has
not yet been declared effective, to exchange privately placed debt for

renovation loan of $25 million that bears interest at LIBOR plus 45 basis
points. At September 30, 1997, 30 day LIBOR was 5.6563%.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors
of FelCor Suite Hotels, Inc.
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the
financial statement schedule of FelCor Suites Limited Partnership. These
financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of
FelCor Suite Hotels, Inc.'s (the "Company") management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
FelCor Suites Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the period from July 28, 1994 (inception of
operations) through December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement
schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the
information required to be included therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. ORGANIZATION
 
     FelCor Suites Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), a Delaware limited
partnership, commenced operations on July 28, 1994. Simultaneously with the
closing of the initial public offering (the "IPO") of FelCor Suite Hotels, Inc.
("FelCor"), which is the sole general partner of the Partnership, contributed
the net proceeds of the IPO to the Partnership in exchange for an approximate
75% general partnership interest.
 
     The Partnership owned six Embassy Suites(R) hotels (the "Initial Hotels")
with an aggregate of 1,479 suites, which it had acquired through a merger with
entities, originally formed in 1991, controlled by Hervey A. Feldman and Thomas
J. Corcoran, Jr., the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, respectively.
 
     At December 31, 1996, FelCor Suite Hotels, Inc. and its consolidated
subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") owned interests in 43 hotels with an
aggregate of 10,196 suites (collectively the "Hotels"). The Company owns 100%
equity interests in 37 of the Hotels, a 97% interest in the partnership that
owns the Los Angeles International Airport hotel and 50% interests in separate
partnerships that own five hotels. At December 31, 1996, 39 of the Hotels are
operated as Embassy Suites hotels, two as Doubletree Guest Suites(R) hotels, one
as a Hilton Suites(R) hotel and one hotel is in the process of being converted
to an Embassy Suites hotel. The Hotels are located in 16 states, with 17 hotels
in California and Florida. The following table provides certain information
regarding the Company's Hotels acquired through December 31, 1996:

Feldman and Corcoran beneficially own 50% of the common equity interest in the
Lessee. The remaining 50% of the Lessee is beneficially owned by the children of
Charles N. Mathewson, a director of the Company. The Lessee has entered into
management agreements pursuant to which 38 of the Hotels are managed by Promus
Hotels, Inc. ("Promus"), two of the Hotels are managed by a subsidiary of
Doubletree Hotel Corporation ("Doubletree"), two of the Hotels are managed by
American General Hospitality, Inc. ("AGHI") and one is managed by Coastal Hotel
Group, Inc. ("Coastal").
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Principles of Consolidation -- The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Partnership and the Holdings Partnerships as
described in Note 8. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated.
 
     Investment in Hotels -- Hotels are stated at cost and are depreciated using
the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 31-40 years
for buildings and improvements and 5 to 7 years for furniture, fixtures and
equipment.
 
     The Company reviews the carrying value of each hotel to determine if
circumstances exist indicating an impairment in the carrying value of the
investment in the hotel or that depreciation periods should be modified. If
facts or circumstances support the possibility of impairment, the Company will
prepare a projection of the undiscounted future cash flows, without interest
charges, of the specific hotel and determine if the investment in such hotel is
recoverable based on the undiscounted future cash flows. If impairment is
indicated, an adjustment will be made to the carrying value of the hotel based
on discounted future cash flows. The Company does not believe that there are any
factors or circumstances indicating impairment of any of its investment in
hotels.
 
     Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a
fixed asset, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts, and the related gain or loss is included in operations.
 
     Investment in Unconsolidated Partnerships -- The Company owns a 50%
interest in various partnerships in which the partners jointly make all material
decisions concerning the business, affairs and operations of the partnerships.
Accordingly, the Company does not control the partnerships and carries its
investment in unconsolidated partnerships at cost, plus its equity in net
earnings, less distributions received since the date of acquisition. Equity in
net earnings is being adjusted for the straight-line amortization, over a 40
year period, of the difference between the Company's cost and its proportionate
share of the underlying net assets at date of acquisition.
 
     Cash and Cash Equivalents -- All highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
     Deposits and Prepayments -- Deposits and prepayments at December 31, 1996
consist of deposits associated with the capitalized land and building lease
further described in Note 5. At December 31, 1995 the deposits and prepayments
consisted of the aforementioned deposits and prepayments associated with hotel
purchases.

</TABLE>
 
     Amortization of organization costs is computed using the straight-line
method over three to five years. Amortization of deferred financing fees is
computed using the interest method over the maturity of the loans.
 
     Revenue Recognition -- Percentage lease revenue is recognized when earned
from the Lessee under the Percentage Lease agreements (Note 9). The Lessee is in
compliance with its obligations under the Percentage Leases.
 
     Net Income Per Unit -- Net income per unit has been computed by dividing
net income applicable to unitholders by the weighted average number of units
outstanding.
 
     Distributions -- The Partnership pays regular quarterly distributions on
its units. Additionally, the Partnership pays regular quarterly dividends on
preferred units in accordance with its preferred unit dividend requirements.
 
     Income Taxes -- No provision for income taxes is provided since all taxable
income or loss or tax credits are passed through to the partners.
 
     FelCor qualifies as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") and generally
will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT
taxable income to shareholders. REITs are subject to a number of organizational
and operational requirements. If FelCor fails to qualify as a REIT in any
taxable year, FelCor will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income
at regular corporate rates.

     On September 30, 1996 the Company obtained a $250 million unsecured
revolving credit facility ("Line of Credit"). Under this facility, the Company
has the right to borrow up to $250 million based upon its ownership of
qualifying unencumbered hotel assets until October 1, 1999, at which time the
principal amount then outstanding will be due and payable. Interest payable on
borrowings is variable, determined from a ratings based pricing matrix,
initially set at LIBOR plus 175 basis points and is paid current throughout the
year. Additionally, the Company is required to pay an unused commitment fee
which is variable, determined from a ratings based pricing matrix, initially set
at 35 basis points. The Company paid unused commitment fees of approximately
$164,000 during 1996. At December 31, 1996, the line of credit interest rate was
7.25%.
 
     On March 10, 1997 the Company announced that it increased its Line of
Credit from $250 million to $400 million which included a reduction in unused
commitment fees from 35 basis points to 25 basis points, under substantially the
same terms as the original Line of Credit.
 
     Simultaneous with the closing of the Line of Credit in September, 1996, the
Company retired a $65 million collateralized term loan and replaced an existing
$100 million collateralized revolving credit facility with an $85 million
four-year collateralized term loan. This term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus
150 basis points, interest is paid current throughout the year, and the note is
collateralized by interests in nine of the Company's hotels. Principal payments
commence on October 1, 1997 and are based on a 15 year amortization schedule,
adjusted annually for the then current interest rates. All outstanding principal
and accrued interest is due and payable on September 30, 2000. At December 31,
1996 the term loan interest rate was 7.125%.
 
     The Company has a $25 million loan facility ("Renovation Loan") which has
been used to fund a portion of the renovation cost of the CSS Hotels (Note 8)
converted to Embassy Suites hotels. The facility is guaranteed by Promus, bears
interest at LIBOR plus 45 basis points (6.08% at December 31, 1996), requires

monthly interest payments, and quarterly principal payments of $1.25 million
beginning June 1999 and matures in June 2000.
 
     Under its loan agreements, the Company is required to satisfy various
affirmative and negative covenants. The Company was in compliance with these
covenants at December 31, 1996.
 
     During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company entered into two separate
interest rate swap agreements to manage the relative mix of its debt between
fixed and variable rate instruments. These interest rate swap agreements modify
a portion of the interest characteristics of the Company's outstanding debt
without an exchange of the underlying principal amount and effectively convert
variable rate debt to a fixed rate. The fixed rates to be paid, the effective
fixed rate, and the variable rate to be received by FelCor at December 31, 1996
are summarized in the following table:

     The differences to be paid or received by the Company under the terms of
the interest rate swap agreements are accrued as interest rates change and
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense by the Company pursuant to the
terms of its interest rate agreement and will have a corresponding effect on its
future cash flows. Agreements such as these contain a credit risk that the
counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreement. The Company
minimizes that risk by evaluating the creditworthiness of its counterparties,
which is limited to major banks and financial institutions, and does not
anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.

     The Company assumed various capital equipment leases associated with hotels
purchased in 1995 and 1996. These capital leases are generally for telephones
and televisions and vary in remaining terms from one year to four years.

     For the twelve months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the period from
July 28, 1994 (inception of operations) through December 31, 1994 the Company
recorded expenses related to operating leases of approximately $153,000, $58,000
and $31,000 respectively.
 
     The Company's charter limits consolidated indebtedness to 40% of the
Company's investment in hotels, at cost, on a consolidated basis, after giving
effect to the Company's use of proceeds from any indebtedness. For purposes of
this limitation, the Company's consolidated indebtedness includes borrowings and
capital lease obligations and consolidated investment in hotels, at cost, is its
investment, at cost, in hotels, as reflected in its consolidated financial
statements plus (to the extent not otherwise reflected) the value (as determined
by the Board of Directors of the general partner at the time of issuance) of any
equity securities issued, otherwise than for cash, by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries in connection with the acquisition of hotels. Under this definition
as of December 31, 1996, the Company's investment in hotels at cost was $1.0
billion. Accordingly, the Company's maximum permitted indebtedness would have
been approximately $400 million (of which $239 million was borrowed at December
31, 1996). Assuming all of this additional debt capacity, and the Company's
available cash and cash equivalents were used for the acquisition of additional
hotels, the Company's investment in hotels would increase to approximately $1.3
billion and the maximum permitted indebtedness would increase to approximately
$525 million.

     On April 25, 1996, the SEC declared effective FelCor's omnibus shelf
registration statement ("Shelf Registration"), which provides for offerings by
FelCor from time to time of up to an aggregate of $500 million in securities,
which may include its debt securities, preferred stock, common stock and/or
common stock warrants. FelCor had issued approximately $151 million under the
Shelf Registration at December 31, 1996 leaving approximately $349 million
available. In February 1997, FelCor issued approximately $107 million in common
stock under the Shelf Registration.
 
  Preferred Units
 
     FelCor's Board of Directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of up
to 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, to establish the
number of shares in each series and to fix the designation, powers preferences,
and rights of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof. On May 6, 1996, FelCor completed an offering, pursuant to
the Shelf Registration of six million shares of its $1.95 Series A Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") at $25 per share. An
additional fifty thousand shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued at $25
per share pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.
The Series A Preferred Stock bears an annual dividend equal to the greater of
$1.95 per share (yielding 7.8% based on the $25 purchase price) or the cash
distributions declared or paid for the corresponding period on the number of
shares of common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is then
convertible and is cumulative from May 6, 1996. Each share of the Series A
Preferred Stock is convertible at the shareholder's option to 0.7752 shares of
common stock, subject to certain adjustments, and may not be redeemed by FelCor
before April 30, 2001. At December 31, 1996, all dividends then payable on the
Preferred Stock had been paid. All preferred stock proceeds have been
contributed to the Partnership in exchange for preferred units.
 
  Common Stock
 
     In addition to the aforementioned public offerings of Common Stock, Promus
purchased an aggregate of approximately 1.9 million shares of Common Stock,
pursuant to subscription agreements, during 1995 and 1996 at a subscription
price of $26.50 per share for an aggregate cost of $50 million which was then
contributed to the Partnership. Promus has satisfied its commitment to purchase
Common Stock under the aforementioned subscription agreements. The proceeds of
these subscription agreements were contributed to the Partnership.
 
  Partnership Units
 
     The outstanding units of limited partnership interests in the Partnership
("Units") are redeemable at the option of the holder for a like number of shares
of Common Stock of FelCor Suite Hotels, Inc. or, at the option of FelCor, for
the cash equivalent thereof. Due to these redemption rights, these limited

9. COMMITMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     After conversion of the Myrtle Beach hotel acquired in December 1996, the
Company will own interests in 40 Embassy Suites hotels, 2 Doubletree Guest
Suites hotels and one Hilton Suites hotel. The Embassy Suites hotels and the
Hilton Suites hotel operate pursuant to franchise license agreements, which
require the payment of fees based on a percentage of suite revenue. These fees
are paid by the Lessee. There are no separate franchise license agreements for
the Doubletree Guest Suites hotels.
 
     The Hotels are managed by Promus, Doubletree, AGHI or Coastal on behalf of
the Lessee. The Lessee pays the managers a base management fee based on a
percentage of suite revenue and an incentive management fee based on the
Lessee's income before overhead expenses for each hotel.
 
     The Company is to receive rental income from the Lessee under the
Percentage Leases which expire in 2004 (7 hotels), 2005 (12 hotels) and 2006 (19
hotels). The rental income under the Percentage Leases between the partnerships
owning five hotels, of which the Company owns 50%, and the Lessee is payable to
the respective partnerships and as such is not included in the following
schedule of future lease commitments to the Company. Minimum future rental
income (base rents) under these noncancellable operating leases (excluding
hotels owned by the previously noted partnerships) at December 31, 1996 is as
follows (in thousands):

     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Lessee owed the Company approximately
$5.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, for such Percentage Lease rent to
be paid in March of the subsequent year.
 
     The Percentage Lease revenue is based on a percentage of suite revenues,
food and beverage revenues, and food and beverage rents of the Hotels. Both the
base rent and the threshold suite revenue in each lease computation are subject
to adjustments for changes in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). The adjustment
is calculated at the beginning of each calendar year, for the hotels acquired
prior to July of the previous year. The adjustment in any lease year may not
exceed 7%. The CPI adjustments made in January 1997 and 1996 are 1.42% and 0.73%
respectively.
 
     Under the Percentage Leases, the Partnership is obligated to pay the costs
of real estate and personal property taxes, property insurance, maintenance of
underground utilities and structural elements of the Hotels, and to set aside 4%
of suite revenues per month, on a cumulative basis, to fund therefrom (or from
other sources) capital expenditures for the periodic replacement or
refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment required for the retention of
the franchise licenses with respect to the Hotels. In addition, the Company will
incur certain additional capital expenditures in connection with the conversion
and upgrade of acquired hotels, which may be funded from cash on hand or
borrowings under its line of credit.
 
     At December 31, 1996 the Company is committed to fund capital improvements
to certain of its hotels of approximately $22 million pursuant to product
improvements plans as required by the franchisors. These capital improvements
are expected to be funded in 1997.

including an allocated portion of the rent, compensation of certain personnel
(other than Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran, whose compensation is borne solely by
the Company), office supplies, telephones and depreciation of office furniture,
fixtures and equipment. Any such allocation of shared expenses to the Company

15. RECENTLY ISSUED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
     SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("EPS"), was issued in October 1996.
This statement specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure
requirements for EPS and is effective for financial statements issued for
periods ending after December 15, 1997. The statement requires restatement of
all prior period EPS data presented, including interim financial statement,
summaries of earnings, and selected financial data, after the effective date.
The Company has determined the effect of adoption will have an immaterial impact
on previously reported EPS numbers.
 
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
     On February 3, 1997 FelCor announced the closing of a common stock offering
pursuant to their $500 million Shelf Registration, covering a variety of debt
and equity securities. The offering was for 3 million shares of common stock to
the public at $35.50 per share, providing FelCor with net proceeds of
approximately $100.7 million which were contributed to the Partnership.
 
     The Company used the majority of the proceeds of this common stock offering
to purchase 50% joint venture interests in eight existing Embassy Suite hotels
and to acquire full ownership of two additional hotels. Promus continues to own
the remaining 50% interest in the eight joint venture hotels, which will
continue to operate as Embassy Suites under management by Promus. The two
wholly-owned hotels will be converted to Doubletree Guest Suites hotels by the
end of the second quarter of 1997 and are being managed by a subsidiary of
Doubletree Hotels Corporation. The aggregate purchase price for the Company's
interest in

these 10 hotels was approximately $139 million, including the Company's pro rata
share of approximately $86 million in non-recourse debt held by the joint
ventures.
 
     On February 18, 1997 the Company purchased the 215-suite Embassy Suites Los
Angeles Airport (LAX) North hotel for approximately $22 million cash. Promus
will continue to manage the hotel as an Embassy Suites hotel.
 
     On February 20, 1997 the Company purchased a 198-suite hotel in Dana Point,
CA for approximately $17.2 million cash. The Dana Point hotel will be converted
to a Doubletree Guest Suites hotel and will be managed by a subsidiary of
Doubletree Hotels Corporation.
 
17. QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS (UNAUDITED)
 
     The Company's unaudited consolidated quarterly operating data for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 follows (in thousands, except per share data).
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of quarterly results have been
reflected in the data. It is also management's opinion, however, that quarterly
operating data for hotel enterprises are not indicative of results to be
achieved in succeeding quarters or years. In order to obtain a more accurate
indication of performance, there should be a review of operating results,
changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for a period of several years.
The data should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" appearing elsewhere
herein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  ORGANIZATION
 
     DJONT Operations, L.L.C. is a Delaware limited liability company ("DJONT")
which began operations on July 28, 1994. All of the voting Class A membership
interest in DJONT (representing a 50% equity interest) is beneficially owned by
Hervey A. Feldman and Thomas J. Corcoran, Jr. who serve as directors and
officers of FelCor Suite Hotels, Inc., (the "Company") and as managers and
officers of DJONT. All of the non-voting Class B membership interest in DJONT
(representing the remaining 50% equity interest) is owned by RGC Leasing, Inc.,
a Nevada corporation owned by the children of Mr. Mathewson, a director of the
Company and shareholder of the predecessor company. Each of the 71 hotels in
which FelCor Suites Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") had an
ownership interest at September 30, 1997 (the "Hotels"), is leased to DJONT or a
consolidated subsidiary thereof (collectively, the "Lessee") pursuant to
percentage leases ("Percentage Leases"). The Company's partners in partnerships
owning interests in 12 of the Hotels hold special purpose non-voting equity
interests in the consolidated subsidiary of DJONT which leases such Hotels,
which interests entitle them to 50% of such subsidiary's net income before
overhead with respect to such Hotels. In addition, the Company's partner in a
partnership owning three of the Hotels holds a 50% non-voting equity interest in
the consolidated subsidiary of DJONT leasing those Hotels. Messrs. Feldman and
Corcoran, such partners, and the managers of certain of the Hotels have agreed,
directly or through their affiliates, to make loans to the Lessee of up to an
aggregate of approximately $15.4 million, to the extent necessary to enable the
Lessee to pay rent and other obligations due under the respective Percentage
Leases relating to a total of 32 of the Hotels. Amounts so borrowed by the
Lessee, if any, will subordinate in right of repayment to the prior payment in
full of rent and other obligations due under the Percentage Leases relating to
such Hotels. No loans were outstanding under such agreements at September 30,
1997.
 
     Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran, as the beneficial owners of an aggregate 50%
of DJONT, have entered into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which they
have agreed that, for a period of ten years from April 15, 1995, any
distributions received by them from DJONT (in excess of their tax liabilities
with respect to the income of DJONT) will be utilized to purchase common stock
from the Company or units of limited partner interest in the Operating
Partnership at then current market prices. The agreement stipulates that Messrs.
Feldman and Corcoran are restricted from selling any stock or unit so acquired
for a period of two years from the date of purchase. RGC Leasing, Inc., which
owns the other 50% of DJONT, may elect to purchase common stock or units upon
similar terms, at its option. The independent directors of the Company may
suspend or terminate such agreement at any time.
 
     Fifty-one of the Hotels are, and the Radisson at Kingston Plantation in
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina will be converted by year end to, Embassy Suites(R)
hotels, 50 of which are being managed for the Lessee by a subsidiary of Promus
Hotel Corporation ("Promus"). Two Embassy Suites hotels are managed for the
Lessee by two other management Companies. Twelve of the Hotels are Doubletree
Guest Suites(R) hotels and are managed by a subsidiary of Doubletree Hotels
Corporation ("Doubletree"). Six of the Hotels are Sheraton Suites (2) or
Sheraton hotels (4) and are being managed for the Lessee directly by, or by a
subsidiary of, ITT Sheraton Corporation ("Sheraton"). One of the Hotels is
operated under a Hilton Suites(R) hotel franchise and managed by an independent
management Company that also manages one of the Company's Embassy Suites.

</TABLE>
 
     The Lessee typically pays a franchise fee ranging from 4% to 5% of room
revenue, and marketing and reservation fees ranging from 1% to 3.5% of room
revenue. In the cases where there is not a separate franchise agreement, the
right to use the brand name is included in the management agreement. Base
management fees typically range from 2% to 3% of total revenues. Incentive
management fees are based upon the hotel's net income before overhead and
typically range from 50% to 75% subject to, in certain cases, a maximum annual
payment of between 2% and 3% of applicable hotel revenues in addition to the
base fee. In many cases managers and franchisors have agreed to subordinate all
or a portion of their fees at a specific hotel or group of hotels, either for a
set period of time, or until the hotel or group of hotels provides a
predetermined return to the Lessee, or both.
 
3. PRO FORMA INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
 
     The following unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are presented as if Lessee had
leased and operated all of the Hotels, beginning on January 1, 1996. Such
information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements listed
in the Index on page 2. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to
reflect the effects of these transactions have been made. The Pro Forma

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors
FelCor Suite Hotels, Inc.
 
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DJONT Operations, L.L.C.
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related statements of operations,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995 and the period from July 28, 1994 (inception of operations) through
December 31, 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of DJONT Operations, L.L.C. as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the period from July
28, 1994 (inception of operations) through December 31, 1994 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

FelCor Suite Hotels Limited Partnership (the "Company") and as managers and
officers of the Lessee. All of the non-voting Class B membership interest in the
Lessee (representing the remaining 50% equity interest) is owned by RGC Leasing,
Inc., a Nevada corporation owned by the children of Mr. Charles N. Mathewson, a
director of the Company. The Lessee leases each of the 43 hotels (the "Hotels")
in which FelCor Suites Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") had an ownership
interest at December 31, 1996, pursuant to percentage leases ("Percentage
Leases").
 
     Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran, as the beneficial owners of an aggregate 50%
of the Lessee, have entered into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which
they have agreed that, for a period of ten years, any distributions received by
them from the Lessee (in excess of their tax liabilities with respect to the
income of the Lessee) will be utilized to purchase common stock from the Company
annually, at a price based upon a formula approved by the independent directors
of the Company relating to the then current market prices. The agreement
stipulates that Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran are restricted from selling any
stock so acquired for a period of two years from the date of purchase. RGC
Leasing, Inc., which owns the other 50% of the Lessee, may elect to purchase
common stock of the Company or Partnership units upon similar terms, at its
option. The independent directors of the Company may suspend or terminate such
agreement at any time.
 
     At December 31, 1996, 39 of the Hotels are operated as Embassy Suites(R)
hotels, two as Doubletree Guest Suites(R) hotels, one as a Hilton Suites(R)
hotel and one hotel is in the process of being converted to an Embassy Suites
hotel. The Lessee has entered into management agreements pursuant to which 38 of
the Hotels are managed by Promus Hotels, Inc. ("Promus"), two of the Hotels are
managed by a subsidiary of Doubletree Hotel Corporation ("Doubletree"), two of
the Hotels are managed by American General Hospitality, Inc. ("AGHI") and one is
managed by Coastal Hotel Group, Inc. ("Coastal").
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Cash Equivalents -- All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
     Inventories -- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.
 
     Revenue Recognition -- Revenue is recognized as earned. Ongoing credit
evaluations are performed and an allowance for potential credit losses is
provided against the portion of accounts receivable which is estimated to be
uncollectible. Such losses have been within management's expectations.
 
     Franchise Costs -- The cost of obtaining the franchise licenses is paid by
the Partnership and the ongoing franchise fees are paid by the Lessee. These
fees are generally computed as a percentage of suite revenue for each hotel in
accordance with franchise agreements.
 
     Income Taxes -- The Lessee is a limited liability Company which is taxed
for federal income taxes purposes as a limited partnership and, accordingly, all
taxable income or loss flows through to the shareholders.
 
3. ACCUMULATED DEFICIT
 
     During 1996, the Lessee incurred a net loss of approximately $5.4 million
and a cumulative shareholder's deficit of approximately $6.4 million.
Management's analyses indicate that a significant portion of such loss is
attributable to the one-time costs of converting the Crown Sterling Suites(R)
hotels to Embassy Suites and

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
Doubletree Guest Suites, and operations of hotels during periods of substantial
renovation. Such renovations are required under the terms of the related
franchise agreements. In accordance with the terms of the Percentage Leases,
although a portion of the suites are not available for guests to rent, the
Lessee is required to pay the full required lease payment. In addition, during
periods of renovation, management believes, and operating data indicates, that
overall the performances of the hotels is impacted as evidenced by improved
operating performances immediately following completion of renovations.
Management is exploring several options to anticipate negative operating cash
flow during renovations, including potential changes to the terms of leases for
future renovation hotels which might mitigate losses for the Lessee during such
renovation periods.
 
     At December 31, 1996 the Lessee had paid all amounts then due the Company
under the Percentage Leases. It is anticipated that a substantial portion of any
future profits of the Lessee will be retained until a positive shareholder's
equity is restored. Although it is currently anticipated that the lessee may
sustain a smaller loss during 1997, it is anticipated that its future earnings
will be sufficient to enable it to continue to make necessary payments when due.
Accordingly, management deems the Lessee to be a viable going concern and, as
such, no adjustments are required to the accompanying financial statements.
 
4. COMMITMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     The Lessee has future lease commitments under the Percentage Leases which
expire in 2004 (7 hotels), 2005 (13 hotels) and 2006 (23 hotels). Minimum future
rental payments are computed based on the base rent as defined under these
noncancellable operating leases and are as follows (in thousands):

     The Lessee recognized Percentage Lease rent expense of approximately
$107,935,000, $26,945,000 and $6,043,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995 and for the period from July 28, 1994 (inception of operations) through
December 31, 1994 respectively. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Lessee owed
the Company $5,526,000 and $2,396,000 for such lease rent. In accordance with
the terms of the lease, the Lessee intends to pay such balances by March of each
subsequent year.
 
     The Percentage Lease expense is based on a percentage of suite revenues,
food and beverage revenues and food and beverage rents of the Hotels. Both the
base rent and the threshold suite revenue in each lease computation is subject
to adjustments in the Consumer Price Index. The adjustment is calculated at the
beginning of each calendar year for the hotels acquired prior to July of the
previous year. The adjustment in any lease year may not exceed 7%. The
adjustments made in January 1997 and 1996 are 1.42% and 0.73% respectively.
 
     Other than real estate and personal property taxes, casualty insurance,
capital improvements and maintenance of underground utilities and structural
elements, which are obligations of the Partnership, the Percentage Leases
require the Lessee to pay rent, liability insurance premiums, all costs,
expenses, utilities and other charges incurred in the operation of the leased
hotels.

     The Lessee is also obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership
from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by or asserted
against the Partnership in the normal course of operating the Hotels.
 
     The Lessee is not permitted to sublet all or any substantial part of the
Hotels or assign its interest under any of the Percentage Leases without the
prior written consent of the Partnership.
 
     The Lessee has agreed that during the term of the Percentage Leases it will
maintain a ratio of total debt to consolidated net worth (as defined in the
Percentage Leases) of less than or equal to 50%, exclusive of capital leases. In
addition, the Lessee has agreed that it will not pay fees to any affiliate of
the Lessee.
 
     The Lessee typically pays a franchise fee ranging from 0% to 5% of suite
revenue, and marketing and reservation fees ranging from 1% to 3.5% of suite
revenue. In the cases where there is not a separate franchise agreement, the
right to use the brand name is included in the management agreement. Base
management fees typically range from 2% to 3% of total revenues. Incentive
management fees are based upon the hotel's net income before overhead and
typically range from 50% to 75% subject to a maximum annual payment of between
2% and 3% of total revenues. In many cases managers and franchisors have agreed
to subordinate all or a portion of their fees at a specific hotel either for a
set period of time, or until the hotel provides a predetermined return to the
Lessee, or both.
 
     In the event the Company enters into an agreement to sell or otherwise
transfer a leased hotel, the Company has the right to terminate the Percentage
Lease with respect to such leased hotel upon 90 days' prior written notice upon
either (1) paying the Lessee the fair market value of the Lessee's leasehold
interest in the remaining term of the Percentage Lease to be terminated or (2)
offering to lease to the Lessee a substitute hotel on terms that would create a
leasehold interest in such hotel with a fair market value equal to or exceeding
the fair market value of the Lessee's remaining leasehold interest under the
Percentage Lease to be terminated. The Company also is obligated to pay or
reimburse the Lessee for any assignment fees, termination fees or other
liabilities arising under any franchise license agreement and restaurant
sublease agreements.
 
     The Lessee and the Company share executive offices and the services of
certain employees. Each Company bears its share of the costs including an
allocated portion of the rent, salaries of personnel (other than Messrs. Feldman
and Corcoran), office supplies and telephones.
 
5. PRO FORMA INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
 
     Due to the impact of the additional hotels operated by the Lessee pursuant
to the Percentage Leases discussed in Note 1, historical results of operations
may not be indicative of future results of operations.

ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 are presented as if the Lessee leased and

6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 107 requires all entities to
disclose the fair value of certain financial instruments in their financial
statements. Accordingly, the Lessee reports the carrying amount of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses at cost which approximate
fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
 
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
     On February 3, 1997, DJONT entered into 10-year operating leases with
partnerships owning eight hotel properties, of which the Partnership
concurrently acquired a 50% joint venture partnership interest. These properties
are located in Atlanta, Georgia (241 suites); Austin, Texas (261 suites);
Covina, California (264 suites); Kansas City -- Overland Park, Kansas (199
suites); Kansas City -- Plaza, Missouri (266 suites); Raleigh, North Carolina
(255 suites); San Antonio, Texas (217 suites); and Secaucus -- Meadowlands, New
Jersey (261 suites). On February 3, 1997 the Lessee also entered into 10-year
operating leases with the Partnership with respect to hotels located in Omaha,
Nebraska and Bloomington, Minnesota. On February 19, 1997 the Lessee and the
Partnership entered into a ten year operating lease on the 215 suite Embassy
Suite -- Los Angeles Airport (LAX) North. On February 21, 1997 the Lessee and
the Partnership entered into a ten year operating lease on a 198 suite hotel in
Dana Point, California. The leases are substantially similar to the leases with
the Partnership for the other hotels owned by the Partnership, with a 10-year
term and rental payments according to a formula based on restaurant rents, food
and beverage and suite revenues of the hotels.

ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
     Section 6.7 of the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of
FelCor Suites Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), as amended (the
"Partnership Agreement"), provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
but subject to the limitations expressly provided in the Partnership Agreement,
FelCor Suite Hotels, Inc., or its successor or assigns (the "General Partner"),
and any person who is or was an officer or director of the General Partner shall
be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint or several), expenses (including,
without limitation, legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and
other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or
proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which
any such party may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or
otherwise, by reason of its status as (i) the General Partner, or any of its
affiliates, (ii) an officer, director, employee, partner, agent or trustee of
the General Partner, or any of its affiliates or (iii) a person serving at the
request of the Partnership in another entity in a similar capacity; provided,
that in each case such party acted in good faith, in a manner which such party
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership and,
with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe its
conduct was unlawful. Any indemnification pursuant to Section 6.7 shall be made
only out of the Partnership assets.
 
     The Charter of the General Partner, generally, limits the liability of the
General Partner's directors and officers to the General Partner and the
shareholders for money damages to the fullest extent permitted from time to time
by the laws of the State of Maryland. The Charter also provides, generally, for
the indemnification of directors and officers, among others, against judgments,
settlements, penalties, fines, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them
in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of
their service in those or other capacities except in connection with a
proceeding by or in the right of the General Partner in which the director was
adjudged liable to the General Partner or in connection with any other
proceeding, whether or not involving action in his official capacity, in which
he was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly
received by him. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") may be permitted to directors and
officers of the General Partner pursuant to the foregoing provisions or
otherwise, the General Partner has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
     The General Partner may purchase director and officer liability insurance
for the purpose of providing a source of funds to pay any indemnification
described above.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
     (a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to directors,
officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
     (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
information that is incorporated by reference into the Prospectus pursuant to
Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or
other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents
filed subsequent to the effective date of this Exchange Offer Registration
Statement through the date of responding to the request.
 
     (c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a
post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in this Exchange Offer Registration Statement when it became effective.
 
     (d) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
                                      II-5
<PAGE>   239
 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

     In connection with the registration of $175,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of 7 3/8% Senior Notes due 2004 and $125,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of 7 5/8% Senior Notes Due 2007 (collectively, the "Exchange Notes") by
FelCor Suites Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), on Form S-4 initially filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on November 5, 1997 (File No. 333-39595), as amended
(the "Registration Statement"), and the concurrent registration of guarantees
(the "Guarantees") of the Exchange Notes by FelCor Suite Hotels, Inc.,
FelCor/CSS Hotels, L.L.C., FelCor/LAX Hotels, L.L.C., FelCor Eight Hotels,
L.L.C., FelCor/CSS Holdings, L.P., FelCor/St. Paul Holdings, L.P. and FelCor/LAX
Holdings, L.P. (collectively, the "Guarantors"), you have requested our opinion
with respect to the matters set forth below.  The Exchange Notes will be offered
in exchange for like principal amounts of outstanding 7 3/8% Senior Notes due
2004 and 7 5/8% Senior Notes Due 2007 (collectively, the "Old Notes"). The
Exchange Notes and Guarantees will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the
"Indenture") dated as of October 1, 1997 among the Partnership, the Guarantors
and SunTrust Bank, Atlanta, as Trustee (the "Trustee").

        In our capacity as your special counsel in connection with such
registration, we are familiar with the proceedings taken and proposed to be
taken by the Partnership and the Guarantors in connection with the
authorization and issuance of the Exchange Notes and Guarantees, and, for the
purposes of this opinion, have assumed such proceedings will be timely
completed in the manner presently proposed.  In addition, we have made such
legal and factual examinations and inquiries, including an examination of
originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of
such documents, corporate records and instruments, as we have deemed necessary
or appropriate for purposes of this opinion.

        In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, 
the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the
conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as
copies.

   
        We are opining herein as to the effect on the subject transaction only 
of the internal laws of the States of Texas and New York, and the Revised 
Uniform Limited Partnership Act and the Limited Liability Company Act of the
State of Delaware, the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland and
judicial and administrative interpretations relating to such statutes, and we
express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect
thereon of the laws of any other jurisdiction or as to any matters of municipal
law or the laws of any other local agencies within any state.
    

        Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is
our opinion that, as of the date hereof,  when (a) the Indenture under which
the Exchange Notes will be issued, has been qualified under the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939, as amended, (b) the Exchange Notes have been executed by the
Partnership and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of
the Indenture, and (c) the Exchange Notes have been delivered in exchange for
the Old Notes in the manner and for the consideration stated in the
Registration Statement and the Indenture, the Exchange Notes will constitute
valid and binding obligations of the Partnership and the Guarantees will
constitute valid and binding obligations of the Guarantors.

        To the extent that the obligations of the Partnership and the
Guarantors under the Indenture may be dependent upon such matters, we assume
for purposes of this opinion that the Trustee is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization; that the Trustee is duly qualified to engage in the activities
contemplated by the Indenture; that the Indenture has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Trustee and constitutes the legally valid and
binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable against the Trustee in
accordance with its terms; that the Trustee is in compliance, generally and
with respect to acting as a trustee under the Indenture, with all applicable
laws and regulations; and that the Trustee has the requisite organizational and
legal power and authority to perform its obligations under the Indenture.

        We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the
Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus included therein. 
In giving such consent, we do not admit that we come within the category of
persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Act or the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

                                                Very truly yours,

                                                Jenkens & Gilchrist,
                                                A Professional Corporation

         RE:      MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES ANTICIPATED TO 
                  RESULT FROM CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN FELCOR SUITES 
                  LIMITED PARTNERSHIP ("REGISTRANT") AND HOLDERS OF ITS 7 3/8% 
                  SENIOR NOTES DUE 2004 AND HOLDERS OF ITS 7 5/8% SENIOR NOTES
                  DUE 2007.

Gentlemen:

   
         Registrant filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"COMMISSION") a Registration Statement (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") on
November 5, 1997, on Form S-4 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"SECURITIES ACT"). Such Registration Statement has been subsequently amended.
The Registration Statement was filed in connection with the issuance of
$175,000,000 of 7 3/8% Senior Notes Due 2004 and $125,000,000 of 7 5/8% Senior
Notes Due 2007 of the Registrant ("NEW NOTES") pursuant to an offer to exchange
(the "EXCHANGE OFFER") the New Notes for $175,000,000 of 7 3/8% Senior Notes Due
2004 and $125,000,000 of 7 5/8% Senior Notes Due 2007 of the Registrant ("OLD
NOTES"). Except as otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein shall have
the meanings assigned to them in the Registration Statement.
    

         Jenkens & Gilchrist, a Professional Corporation (the "FIRM"), has acted
as counsel to Registrant in connection with the Exchange Offer. You have
requested the opinion set forth below regarding the disclosure in the
Registration Statement under the caption "United States Federal Income Tax
Consequences." Section I of this letter (the "OPINION LETTER") contains the
Firm's opinion. Section II of this Opinion Letter contains limitations on the
opinion.

                                   I. OPINION

   
         We have reviewed all authorities as of the date hereof relevant to the
discussion of the material federal income tax consequences of the Exchange Offer
described in the Registration Statement under the caption "United States Federal
Income Tax Consequences." Based upon our analysis of the foregoing authorities
and subject to the limitations set forth in Section II, the Firm is of the
opinion that the disclosures contained in the section of the Registration
Statement entitled "United States Federal Income Tax Consequences" are accurate
in all material respects and address fairly the material federal income tax
considerations of the Exchange Offer discussed therein. The Firm affirms the
opinions explained in the section of the Registration Statement entitled
"United States Federal Income Tax Consequences."
    

                                 II. LIMITATIONS

         1. Except as otherwise indicated, the opinion set forth in Section I is
based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and its legislative
history, the regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions and current
administrative rulings and practices of the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"),
all as in effect on the date of this Opinion Letter. These authorities may be
amended or revoked at any time. Any such changes may or may not be retroactive
with respect to transactions entered into or contemplated prior to the effective
date thereof and could significantly alter the conclusions reached in this
Opinion Letter. There is no assurance that legislative history, judicial or
administrative changes will not occur to reflect any developments that may occur
after the date of this Opinion Letter.

   
         2. The opinion set forth in Section I is not binding on the IRS or the
courts.
    

         3. In connection with this opinion, the Firm has examined and is
familiar with originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified, of such
documents and records and such statutes, regulations and other instruments as it
deemed necessary or advisable for the purposes of this opinion, including the
Registration Statement. The Firm has assumed that all signatures on all
documents presented to it are genuine, that all documents submitted to it as
originals are accurate original thereof, that all information submitted to it
was accurate and complete, and that all persons executing and delivering
original or copies of documents examined by it were competent to execute and
deliver such documents. Additionally, we have assumed that all transactions
detailed in the Registration Statement will be completed in the manner described
therein.

         4. The Firm is expressing its opinion only as to those matters
expressly set forth in Section I. No opinion should be inferred as to any other
matters.

         We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the Prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement. In giving
such consent, we do not admit that we come within the category of persons whose
