     (1) Total revenue excludes other revenue from managed properties
         (reimbursable costs).
     (2) Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted diluted EPS are
         non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as an
         alternative to any measures of operating results under GAAP.  See
         further discussion of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliation
         to net income later in this press release.
     (3) Includes the company's share of EBITDA from unconsolidated Joint
         Venture investments in the amounts of $1.0 million in the second
         quarters of 2007 and 2006, and $1.9 million and $1.5 million for the
         first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
     The second quarter 2007 statement of operations includes the following
 non-recurring items and special charges:
     -- $1.0 million of asset impairments and write-offs associated with
        terminated management contracts;
     -- $0.4 million of severance costs related to a reduction in corporate
        headcount associated with the reduction in the number of third party
        managed properties throughout the year;
     -- $0.6 million gain related to the sale of a joint venture interest,
        recorded in equity in earnings of affiliates.
     These items have been excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA,
 Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS.
     Hotel Management Results
     Same-store(4) RevPAR for all managed hotels in the second quarter of
 2007 rose 8.0 percent to $104.61. Average daily rate (ADR) improved 7.5
 percent to $135.43, and occupancy increased 0.4 percent to 77.2 percent.
     Same-store RevPAR for all full-service managed hotels advanced 8.1
 percent to $113.21. ADR increased 7.0 percent to $145.38, while occupancy
 rose 1.0 percent to 77.9 percent.
     Same-store RevPAR for all select-service managed hotels improved 7.7
 percent to $77.23, on a 9.2 percent gain in ADR to $102.69 and a 1.3
 percent decline in occupancy to 75.2 percent.
     "We had an excellent second quarter, with RevPAR increasing 8.0
 percent, which compared favorably to the industry average of 5.7 percent,
 according to Smith Travel Research data," said Thomas F. Hewitt, chief
 executive officer. "Yielding rate and controlling costs enabled us to
 deliver strong bottom line growth to our owners."
     The company ended the quarter with 187 hotels in its portfolio, a
 decrease of 20 hotels from the beginning of the quarter. This decrease was
 driven by the sale of properties by two major owners, The Blackstone Group,
 which sold 11 Interstate-managed hotels during the quarter, and Sunstone
 Hotel Investors, Inc. (NYSE:   SHO), which sold a portfolio of six hotels.
 These losses were somewhat offset by adding four new third-party managed
 properties to the portfolio during the quarter: the 148-room Marriott
 Ashbourne in Ireland, the 484-room Marriott Oakland City Center and the
 162-room Courtyard Oakland Downtown, both in California; and the 143-room
 Hampton Inn Pittsburgh, a newly built hotel which opened at the end of the
 quarter.
     "The expected reduction in our hotel count during the quarter is a
 reflection of the favorable real estate market conditions the industry has
 been experiencing over the past two years," Hewitt noted. "As we work
 through this transitional year, we are encouraged by the activity generated
 by our business development team, which continues to focus on adding new
 properties to our portfolio of third-party managed hotels, while also
 seeking opportunities to grow our real estate ownership, both wholly-owned
 and through joint venture investments."

         release for a detailed explanation of "same-store" hotel operating
         statistics.
     Wholly-owned Hotel Results
     "RevPAR increased 3.8 percent at our six wholly-owned properties. These
 results were impacted by tough comparisons for our Baton Rouge hotel, which
 benefited from unusual demand last year as a result of Hurricane Katrina.
 The hotel continues to perform well, with occupancies in the mid-80s,"
 Hewitt said.
     "From a bottom-line perspective, the portfolio continues to generate
 strong results," Hewitt noted. EBITDA from the company's owned hotels was
 $5.9 million for the second quarter and $9.6 million for the first six
 months as illustrated below (in millions):
     Owned Hotels                  Second Quarter       Year-to-Date
     ---------------------------------------------    ----------------

                                  ======    ======    ======    ======
     "We completed the purchase of the Westin Atlanta Airport in the second
 quarter, for $74 million, our largest asset acquisition to date," Hewitt
 added. "The Westin's favorable location provides for easy access to the
 nearby convention center, downtown Atlanta and other area attractions. We
 expect to benefit from the addition of 3.2 million square feet of office
 construction across the Atlanta metro area. Our planned $18 million
 renovation, just underway at this hotel, will position us to take full
 advantage of the growth in the area."
     With the addition of this hotel, the company's 2007 projected
 annualized EBITDA from its wholly-owned assets is $25 million, which is
 more than 50 percent of its total Adjusted EBITDA.
     "We continue to look for hotels to which we can add value, both through
 our management expertise and through targeted capital spending," Hewitt
 said. "We remain disciplined in our approach to the properties we acquire
 in order to maintain a conservative balance sheet, well positioned to
 handle any phase of the lodging cycle."
     Joint Venture Investments
     The company ended the second quarter with minority ownership in 17
 properties through 11 joint venture partnerships. The company's share of
 EBITDA from joint venture investments was $1 million in both the second
 quarter of 2007 and 2006. The company's share of non-recourse mortgage debt
 from joint ventures is $20.1 million.
     Leslie Ng, chief investment officer, pointed out that joint ventures
 remain a major growth platform for Interstate. "Joint venture investments
 provide us with solid returns on our investment through the combination of
 our share of the real estate returns, the management fee from the hotel, as
 well as the participation in the potential asset value accretion upon sale,
 while aligning our interests with our majority partner."
     Last week, the company announced that it had entered the Mexican market
 by making a $5.7 million investment in a three-property portfolio of Tesoro
 Resorts in Mexico, which includes:
     Property            Location                 # of Rooms
     -------------------------------------------------------
     Tesoro Los Cabos    Cabo San Lucas, Mexico      286
     -------------------------------------------------------
     Tesoro Manzanillo   Manzanillo, Mexico          331
     -------------------------------------------------------
     Tesoro Ixtapa       Ixtapa, Mexico              203
     -------------------------------------------------------
     Interstate expects to convert this investment to a 15 percent joint
 venture equity interest in the near term. In conjunction with this
 investment, Interstate acquired a 50 percent interest in the resorts'
 operating company through a separate joint venture, operating as Interstate
 de Mexico.
     "This investment establishes a solid platform for our entry into Mexico
 and Latin America, areas where we see significant opportunities for growth
 over the next decade," Ng said. "We continue to seek joint venture
 investment opportunities both internationally and domestically that are
 consistent with our targeted property profile," he added.
     Balance Sheet
     On June 30, 2007, Interstate had:
 
     -- Total cash of $27.4 million
     -- Total debt of $172.2 million, consisting of $114.7 million of senior
        debt and $57.5 million of non-recourse mortgage debt
     In May, the company amended its senior secured credit facility to
 significantly expand the facility's capacity and provide greater
 flexibility in certain of its financial covenants. The total facility
 increased by $75 million to $200 million, consisting of a $115 million term
 loan and a $85 million revolver. The interest rate of the expanded facility
 remained at LIBOR plus 275 basis points. The company used the additional
 $50 million term loan and cash on hand to finance the acquisition of the
 Westin Atlanta Airport hotel.
     "By increasing the capacity of our senior secured facility, we have the
 flexibility to continue to execute our strategic business plans, including
 the selective acquisition of wholly-owned and joint venture real estate
 investments," said Bruce Riggins, chief financial officer. "We currently
 have
     the entire $85 million available on our revolving credit facility to
 fund our growth strategy and our operating needs."
     Outlook and Guidance
     The company provides the following guidance for full-year 2007:
     -- RevPAR, on a same-store basis, is expected to increase 7.0  to 9.0
        percent;
     -- Net income of $23.5 million to $24.7 million;
     -- Diluted earnings per share of $0.74 to $0.78;
     -- Adjusted net income of $7.0 million to $8.2 million;
     -- Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.22 to $0.26;
     -- Adjusted EBITDA of $41.5 million to $43.5 million, which includes the
        following:
        -- $4.0 to $4.5 million from the company's share of EBITDA from
           unconsolidated joint ventures;
        -- EBITDA from wholly-owned hotels of $20 million to $22 million.
     -- Termination fees of approximately $6.0 million;
     -- Incentive fees of $17.5 million to $19.5 million;
     -- Total capex of approximately $14.0 million, including $4.0 million to
        be funded out of mortgage-related escrows.

     Non-GAAP Financial Measures
     Included in this press release are certain non-GAAP financial measures,
 which are measures of our historical or estimated future performance that
 are different from measures calculated and presented in accordance with
 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
 (or GAAP), within the meaning of applicable Securities and Exchange
 Commission rules, that we believe are useful to investors. They are as
 follows: (i) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
 (or "EBITDA") and (ii) Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted
 diluted EPS. The following discussion defines these terms and presents the
 reasons we believe they are useful measures of our performance.
     EBITDA
     A significant portion of our non-current assets consists of intangible
 assets, related to some of our management contracts, and long lived assets,
 which includes the cost of our owned hotels. Intangible assets, excluding
 goodwill, are amortized over their expected term. Property and equipment is
 depreciated over its useful life. Because amortization and depreciation are
 non-cash items, management and many industry investors believe the
 presentation of EBITDA is useful. We also exclude depreciation and
 amortization and interest expense from our unconsolidated joint ventures.
 We believe EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our
 performance and our capacity to incur and service debt, fund capital
 expenditures and expand our business. Management uses EBITDA to evaluate
 property-level results and as one measure in determining the value of
 acquisitions and dispositions. It is also widely used by management in the
 annual budget process. We believe that the rating agencies and a number of
 lenders use EBITDA for those purposes and a number of restrictive covenants
 related to our indebtedness use measures similar to EBITDA presented
 herein.
     Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS
     We define Adjusted EBITDA as, EBITDA, excluding the effects of certain
 recurring and non-recurring charges, transactions and expenses incurred in
 connection with events management believes do not provide the best
 indication of our ongoing operating performance. These charges include
 restructuring and severance expenses, asset impairments and write-offs,
 gains and losses on asset dispositions for both consolidated and
 unconsolidated investments, and other non-cash charges. We believe that the
 presentation of Adjusted EBITDA will provide useful supplemental
 information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance and
 that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, when combined with the primary
 GAAP presentation of net income, is beneficial to an investor's complete
 understanding of our operating performance. We also use Adjusted EBITDA in
 determining our incentive compensation for management.
     Similarly, we define Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS as
 net income and diluted EPS, without the effects of those same charges,
 transactions and expenses described earlier. We believe that Adjusted
 EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS are useful performance
 measures because including these expenses, transactions, and special
 charges may either mask or exaggerate trends in our ongoing operating
 performance. Furthermore, performance measures that include these charges
 may not be indicative of the continuing performance of our underlying
 business. Therefore, we present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and
 Adjusted diluted EPS because they may help investors to compare our
 performance before the effect of various items that do not directly affect
 our ongoing operating performance.
     Limitations on the use of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net
 Income
     We calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted
 diluted EPS as we believe they are important measures for our management's
 and our investors' understanding of our operations. These may not be
 comparable to measures with similar titles as calculated by other
 companies. This information should not be considered as an alternative to
 net income, operating profit, cash from operations or any other operating
 performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Cash receipts and
 expenditures from investments, interest expense and other non-cash items
 have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the EBITDA and
 Adjusted EBITDA presentations. Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS
 do not include cash receipts and expenditures related to those same items
 and charges discussed above. Management compensates for these limitations
 by separately considering these excluded items, all of which should be
 considered when evaluating our performance, as well as the usefulness of
 our non-GAAP financial measures. Additionally, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA,
 Adjusted net income, and Adjusted diluted EPS should not be considered a
 measure of our liquidity. Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS
 should also not be used as a measure of amounts that accrue directly to our
 stockholders' benefit.
     This press release contains "forward-looking statements," within the
 meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, about
 Interstate Hotels & Resorts, including those statements regarding future
 operating results and the timing and composition of revenues, among others,
 and statements containing words such as "expects," "believes" or "will,"
 which indicate that those statements are forward-looking. Except for
 historical information, the matters discussed in this press release are
 forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and
 uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially,
 including the volatility of the national economy, economic conditions
 generally and the hotel and real estate markets specifically, the war in
 Iraq, international and geopolitical difficulties or health concerns,
 governmental actions, legislative and regulatory changes, availability of
 debt and equity capital, interest rates, competition, weather conditions or
 natural disasters, supply and demand for lodging facilities in our current
 and proposed market areas, and the company's ability to manage integration
 and growth. Additional risks are discussed in Interstate Hotels & Resorts'
 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Interstate
 Hotels & Resorts' annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
 31, 2006.

                       Interstate Hotels & Resorts, Inc.
                           Notes to Financial Tables
                                  (Unaudited)
 
     (1)  We record termination fees as revenue when all contingencies related
          to the termination fees have been removed. In the first quarter of
          2006, we recognized $4.1 million of one-time termination fees due to
          the sale of 10 MeriStar properties.
     (2)  This amount represents losses recorded for intangible costs
          associated with terminated management contracts.
     (3)  For 2007, interest expense includes $0.5 million of deferred
          financing fees expensed in the first quarter in connection with the
          entrance in a new senior secured credit facility and the related pay-
          off of all balances outstanding under our old senior secured credit
          facility, as well as the write-off of $0.1 million of deferred
          financing fees at the time of repayment of the underlying mortgage
          note for the Hilton Concord.
     (4)  In January 2007, we completed the sale of our subsidiary,
          BridgeStreet Corporate Housing. We have presented these operations
          and the gain on sale as discontinued operations for all periods
          presented. The calculation of EBITDA reflects the elimination of
          discontinued operations.
     (5)  Our diluted earnings per share assumes the issuance of common stock
          for all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding.
          Potentially dilutive shares include restricted stock and stock
          options granted under our comprehensive stock plan and operating
          partnership units held by minority partners. No effect is shown for
          any securities that are anti- dilutive.
     (6)  We present certain operating statistics (i.e. occupancy, RevPAR and
          ADR) for the periods included in this report on a same-store hotel
          basis. We define our same-store hotels as those which (i) are managed

          which we no longer managed as of June 30, 2007 are also not included
          in same- store hotel results for the periods presented herein. Of the
