Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc.® (NYSE: HST) today announced that Jim Risoleo will assume a new position with the company as executive vice president and managing director - Europe, effective January 1, 2012.

In his new role, Mr. Risoleo will be responsible for the management of the Company's European business activities.

The European Joint Venture currently owns 13 luxury and upper-upscale hotels in seven countries. Host is a significant investor in the Venture and serves as managing partner.
