Organization

Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (the "Company") is an internally managed hotel investment company, formed as a Maryland real estate investment trust in October 2009 to opportunistically acquire and invest in hotel properties located primarily in major U.S. cities and resort properties located near our primary target urban markets and select destination resort markets, with an emphasis on major gateway coastal markets.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company owned interests in 51 hotels with a total of 12,756 guest rooms. The hotel properties are located in: Boston, Massachusetts; Chicago, Illinois; Hollywood, Florida; Jekyll Island, Georgia; Key West, Florida; Los Angeles, California (Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood); Miami (Coral Gables), Florida; Naples, Florida; Newport, Rhode Island; Portland, Oregon; San Diego, California; San Francisco, California; Santa Cruz, California; Seattle, Washington; Stevenson, Washington; and Washington, D.C.

Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of the Company's operations are conducted through, Pebblebrook Hotel, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2022, the Company owned 99.3% of the common limited partnership units issued by the Operating Partnership ("common units"). The remaining 0.7% of the common units are owned by the other limited partners of the Operating Partnership. For the Company to maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), it cannot operate the hotels it owns. Therefore, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries lease the hotel properties to subsidiaries of Pebblebrook Hotel Lessee, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, "PHL"), a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS"), which in turn engage third-party eligible independent contractors to manage the hotels. PHL is consolidated into the Company’s financial statements.

COVID-19 Update

The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in early 2020, has had a significant negative impact on the Company's operations and financial results. Results have substantially improved through 2022. The Company exited its debt covenant waiver period under its credit facilities as of the end of the second quarter of 2022. As discussed in Note. 5 Debt, in October 2022, the Company refinanced its senior unsecured revolving credit facility and all of its term loans. There continues to be significant uncertainty regarding the trends and outlook as a result of new variants and individual and government responses.
