IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT YOUR DIAMONDROCK HOSPITALITY COMPANY ANNUAL MEETING MATERIALS

April 1, 2021

Dear Stockholder:

On March 26, 2021, DiamondRock Hospitality Company (the “Company”) filed and distributed a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) relating to the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2021 Annual Meeting”). Due to an administrative error, Michael A. Hartmeier was inadvertently omitted as a director nominee from the proxy card accompanying the Proxy Statement.

Enclosed is a corrected proxy card that includes this director.

If you sign and return the corrected proxy card, it will revoke and replace any previous proxy you have submitted. If you have already voted and do not submit new voting instructions, your previously submitted proxy will be voted at the 2021 Annual Meeting with respect to all other proposals but will not be counted in determining the outcome of the election of Mr. Hartmeier to the Company’s board of directors.

The time and place of the 2021 Annual Meeting have not changed. The enclosed corrected proxy card should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement and annual report, which we previously provided to our stockholders of record.

We encourage you to vote using the corrected proxy card.
