SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-69477; File No. 81-939]

Notice of an Application of W2007 Grace Acquisition I, Inc. Under 
Section 12(h) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

April 30, 2013.
    The Securities and Exchange Commission gives notice that W2007 
Grace Acquisition I, Inc. (``W2007 Grace'') has filed an application 
under Section 12(h) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. W2007 Grace 
asks the Commission to issue an order conditionally exempting the 
company from the requirement to file reports under Section 15(d) of the 
Exchange Act. In its application, W2007 Grace asserts that exemptive 
relief would be consistent with the standards articulated in Section 
12(h) because: (1) As of January 1, 2013, W2007 Grace had fewer than 
300 holders of record of each class of its securities after excluding 
shares that the company believes are beneficially owned by a single 
beneficial owner through 300 trust entities formed by such owner solely 
for the purpose of attempting to cause the termination of the 
suspension of the company's reporting obligations under Section 15(d) 
of the Exchange Act; (2) there is limited trading activity in, and an 
absence of any regular market for, W2007 Grace's securities; (3) the 
company is not directly engaged in active operations as it is a real 
estate investment firm with a small economic interests in 130 hotels 
and no employees; and (4) to impose the reporting burdens of Section 
15(d) of the Exchange Act on the company under the current 
circumstances would contravene the intent of Section 15(d) and Rule 
12g5-1 under the Exchange Act.
    For a detailed statement of the information presented, all persons 
are referred to W2007 Grace's application, which is available on the 
Commission's Internet Web site at http://www.sec.gov/rules/other.shtml
