Jeffrey H. Fisher
 PALM BEACH, Fla., August 5, 2014—Chatham Lodging Trust (NYSE: CLDT), a hotel real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns wholly or through its joint ventures 77 premium-branded, upscale, extended-stay and select-service hotels, today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

  In addition, the company increased its guidance for the remainder of 2014 to reflect recent acquisitions and strong business fundamentals.

“2014 is shaping up to be a terrific year for Chatham as we followed up a great first quarter with a phenomenal second quarter which produced industry-leading RevPAR growth of 9.6 percent, further driving expansion of our already industry leading margins by 350 basis points to 43.6 percent,” emphasized Jeffrey H. Fisher, Chatham’s president and chief executive officer. 

“Continuing a pattern from the first quarter, 13 of our 29 hotels, or 45 percent of our portfolio, produced double-digit RevPAR gains, reinforcing our acquisition strategy of focusing on specific markets where economic growth is strong. Anaheim, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Nashville, San Antonio and Silicon Valley were our strongest markets in the 2014 second quarter.

“Almost 90 percent of our portfolio is in higher growth west coast, northeast and Texas markets, allowing us to outperform our RevPAR guidance of 7-8 percent.”
