## Company history

Host Hotels & Resorts traces its origins to 1927, when J. Willard and Alice Marriott opened a root-beer stand in Washington, D.C., the beginning of the Hot Shoppes business and the Marriott corporate lineage. On October 8, 1993, Marriott Corporation became Host Marriott Corporation as Marriott International was spun off. [18](https://www.hosthotels.com/Our-Company/History) [19](https://ir.hosthotels.com/investor-faqs)

In 1998, Host spun off Crestline Capital and acquired 12 hotels from Blackstone; it completed its conversion to a real estate investment trust that year, with REIT status effective January 1, 1999. The company acquired hotels from Starwood in 2006 and adopted the Host Hotels & Resorts name. Its chief executives have included Christopher Nassetta, who became president and CEO in 2000, W. Edward Walter, who took over in 2007, and James Risoleo, who became CEO in 2017.

Host continued to expand its resort and luxury hotel holdings through acquisitions including Four Seasons Resort Orlando in 2021 and Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole in 2022. In 2024, it acquired 1 Hotel Nashville, Embassy Suites Nashville Downtown, 1 Hotel Central Park and The Ritz-Carlton O’ahu, Turtle Bay.
