Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc.

37,209,303 Shares of Common Stock

___________________________________

Our operating partnership, Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. (“Host L.P.”), of which we are the sole general partner and in which we own approximately 99% of the partnership interests, issued and sold $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2029 (which we refer to as the 2009 debentures) in a private transaction on December 22, 2009. Under certain circumstances, we may issue shares of our common stock upon the exchange of the 2009 debentures. In such circumstances, the recipients of such common stock, whom we refer to as the selling stockholders, may use this prospectus supplement, together with the underlying prospectus, to resell from time to time the shares of our common stock that we may issue to them upon the exchange of the 2009 debentures. Additional selling stockholders may be named by future prospectus supplements.

The registration of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus does not necessarily mean that any of the selling stockholders will exchange their 2009 debentures, that upon any exchange of the 2009 debentures we will elect, in our sole and absolute discretion, to exchange some or all of the 2009 debentures for shares of our common stock rather than cash, or that any shares of our common stock received upon exchange of the 2009 debentures will be sold by the selling stockholders.

We will receive no proceeds from any issuance of shares of our common stock to the selling stockholders upon exchange of 2009 debentures or from any sale of such shares by the selling stockholders, but we have agreed to pay certain registration expenses relating to such shares of our common stock. The selling stockholders from time to time may offer and sell the shares held by them directly or through agents or broker-dealers on terms to be determined at the time of sale, as described in more detail in the prospectus supplement dated April 22, 2013. See “Plan of Distribution.”

To assist us in complying with federal income tax requirements applicable to real estate investment trusts, among other purposes, our charter contains certain restrictions relating to the transfer and ownership of our common stock, including an ownership limit of 9.8% of our common stock. See “Description of Capital Stock—Restrictions on Transfer and Ownership” beginning on page 7 of the prospectus dated April 22, 2013.

This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with, and may not be delivered or utilized without, the related prospectus and prospectus supplement, each dated April 22, 2013.

Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “HST”. On November 30, 2015, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $16.60 per share.

Investing in our common stock involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-2 of the prospectus supplement dated April 22, 2013.

Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus supplement is December 1, 2015.


SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The 2009 debentures were originally issued by Host L.P., our operating partnership, and sold by the initial purchasers of the 2009 debentures in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act to persons reasonably believed by the initial purchasers to be qualified institutional buyers as defined by Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Under certain circumstances, we may issue shares of our common stock upon the exchange of the 2009 debentures. In such circumstances, the recipients of shares of our common stock, whom we refer to as the selling stockholders, may use this prospectus supplement to resell from time to time the shares of our common stock that we may issue to them upon the exchange of the 2009 debentures. Information about selling stockholders is set forth in this prospectus supplement, and information about additional selling stockholders may be set forth in subsequent prospectus supplements, in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which the prospectus accompanying this prospectus supplement is a part, or in filings we make with the SEC under the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

The following table sets forth information, as of the date of this prospectus supplement, with respect to the selling stockholders and the maximum number of shares of our common stock that we expect could become beneficially owned by each selling stockholder that may be offered pursuant to this prospectus upon the exchange of the 2009 debentures. The information is based on information provided by or on behalf of the selling stockholders. The number of shares of our common stock issuable upon the exchange of the 2009 debentures shown in the table below is based upon the exchange of the full amount of 2009 debentures held by each selling stockholder at an assumed exchange rate of 93.0233 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2009 debentures (equivalent to a $10.75 exchange price). As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the actual exchange rate is 80.3053 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2009 debentures (equivalent to a $12.45 exchange price). The exchange rate on the 2009 debentures is subject to adjustment in certain events. Accordingly, the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon the exchange of the 2009 debentures may increase or decrease from time to time. The percent of shares of common stock beneficially owned following the exchange is based on shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2015.

Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, we believe that the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned. Because the selling stockholders may offer, pursuant to this prospectus supplement, all or some portion of the common stock listed below, no estimate can be given as to the amount of common stock that will be held by the selling stockholder upon consummation of any sales. In addition, the selling stockholders listed in the table may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, in transactions exempt from registration requirements of the Securities Act, some or all of their common stock since the date as of which such information was provided to us.

Unless otherwise set forth below, no selling stockholder has had any material relationship with us or any of our affiliates within the past three years, other than as a stockholder.

Information about the selling stockholders may change over time. Any changed information given to us by the selling stockholders will be set forth in subsequent prospectus supplements if, and when, necessary.
