SALISBURY, MD., September 28, 2007—

Marshall Management, a leading mid-sized hotel management company, today announced that it has added five management contracts to its portfolio, including an under-construction aloft hotel outside of Washington, D.C., an historic hotel in upstate New York, two properties in West Virginia and a Gettysburg, Pa.-property that features a 60,000-square-foot event center. The new contracts come on the heels of the announcement that the company will provide management services to The Lam Group and Lam Generation to help facilitate the accelerated development of their planned hotels in New York City.

“These properties further expand the diversity of our portfolio and demonstrate the breadth of our capacity as a management company,” said Mike Marshall, president and CEO. “In the past 18 months, we have added new resorts, upper upscale hotels and mid-market properties with and without food and beverage.

“These new contracts span various segments of the industry, from new builds to historic hotels to properties that will undergo significant renovation and repositioning. All these properties are in lucrative markets; our goal is to further strengthen their competitive position within their respective markets. We expect to add significant value through enhanced operations at these hotels.”
The contracts include:

· A 144-room aloft, located minutes from Washington Dulles Airport, in Chantilly, Va., will be one of the first of the new concept hotels. The new-build lifestyle hotel is expected to open in the 2009 first quarter.

The hotel is within minutes of Titus Ski Mountain, fishing, three golf courses. The property is scheduled to reopen on Memorial Day 2008.
