Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (the “Company”) issued a press release on December 10, 2013 announcing that it has acquired the 355-room Radisson Hotel Fisherman's Wharf located in San Francisco, California. A copy of that press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
    
A copy of materials about this property that the Company intends to distribute is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Additionally, the Company has posted these materials in the investor relations section of its website at www.pebblebrookhotels.com.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On December 9, 2013, a subsidiary of the Company completed its acquisition of a leasehold interest in the 355-room Radisson Hotel Fisherman’s Wharf (the “Hotel”) and retail suites of the property located in San Francisco, California for $132.0 million from an unaffiliated third party. This transaction was funded entirely with available cash.
The leasehold interest assumed by the subsidiary includes a primary ground lease with 250 Beach Street, LLC and a secondary sublease with The Travelodge at Fisherman’s Wharf, both of which are unaffiliated third parties.
Pursuant to the primary ground lease, executed in 1961 and amended and restated in 1998 in connection with the addition of 105 guest rooms and 30,000 square feet of retail space (the “Addition”), the subsidiary is required to pay, through 2016, annual base rent of approximately $0.1 million and percentage rent of 5% of hotel revenues attributable to the Addition and 7.5% of retail revenues attributable to the Addition. Beginning in 2017, the subsidiary is required to pay only percentage rent of 6% of total hotel revenues and 7.5% of total retail and parking revenues. The primary ground lease expires in February 2062.
Pursuant to the secondary sublease, which expires in April 2016, the subsidiary is required to pay percentage rent based on hotel net income, as defined in the agreement, from the Hotel’s original 250 guest rooms and a portion of the retail space.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company selected Davidson Hotels & Resorts to manage the Hotel and Shelter Bay Retail Group to manage the retail suites.
