WEST PALM BEACH, FL—Chatham Lodging Trust (NYSE: CLDT), a lodging real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests in upscale, extended-stay hotels and premium-branded, select-service hotels and owns 134 hotels wholly or through joint ventures, announced Peter Willis, Chatham’s chief investment officer, is stepping down from the company.

“Peter was the first executive I hired at Chatham and has played an instrumental role in the company’s growth since our initial public offering almost a decade ago when we started the company with no hotels,” commented Jeffrey H. Fisher, Chatham’s president and chief executive officer.

“It’s been a great ride with Chatham over the last ten years, and I am very proud of our accomplishments since our IPO in 2010,” said Willis. “I appreciate the opportunity to have worked with Jeff and the team at Chatham and know they are well positioned for continued success.”
