Since acquiring the property on behalf of one of its pension fund clients in 1997, Lowe Enterprises, a Southern California based company, and Destination Hotels and Resorts (DH&R), its management subsidiary, have contributed to the future of this historic property. Their commitment to preservation is evidenced by a $55 million restoration, completed in June 2001, which included aesthetic enhancements and the structural reinforcement of the Victorian landmark. 

CNL, one of the lodging industry�s top acquirers of hotels, is expected to own a majority interest in the partnership. KSL, one of the nation�s leading owners and operators of luxury destination resorts, is expected to operate the hotel under a long-term management agreement and hold a minority interest in the partnership.

Once the transaction is consummated, the addition of the Hotel del Coronado will bring CNL�s portfolio to 127 hotels in 37 states with more than 27,000 rooms with 19 nationally recognized hotel brands. Other destination resorts in CNL�s portfolio include the 950-room JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa in Phoenix, the 1,310-room Waikiki Marriott Beach Resort and the 428-room Hilton Tucson El Conquistador Golf & Tennis Resort.

The acquisition of the Hotel del Coronado from Lowe Enterprises is subject to customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that all of the closing conditions will be satisfied.
