Another unsolicited offer on the table, reportedly from Kalmia Investors LLC, totals $44 million. That offer is for 59% of the outstanding units, at $550 each. Starwood's offer, which is good until August 29, is at $600 per share.

Starwood officials say they will use cash, rather than financing, to complete the Westin Michigan Avenue acquisition.
