Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby constitutes and appoints
each of Jeffrey H. Fisher, Peter Willis and Julio E. Morales, acting singly, the
undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

1.	execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's capacity
as a trustee and/or officer of Chatham Lodging Trust (the "Company"), Forms 3,
4, and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and the rules and regulations thereunder;
2.	do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which
may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4, or 5
and timely file such form with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority; and
3.	take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the foregoing
which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the
best interests of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it being understood
that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the
undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall
contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such
attorney-in-fact's discretion.

	The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact power and authority
to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite, necessary,
or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein
granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could
do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby
ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or such
attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, have lawfully done or caused to be
done in the past, or shall lawfully do or cause to be done in the future, by
virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein granted.  The
undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in
such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming, nor is the
Company assuming, any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply with
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

	The undersigned agrees that each such attorney-in-fact herein may rely entirely
on information furnished orally or in writing by the undersigned to such
attorney-in-fact.  The undersigned also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company and each such attorney-in-fact against any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in these respects) that arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or omission of necessary fact in the information
provided by the undersigned to such attorney-in-fact for purposes of executing,
acknowledging, delivering or filing Forms 3, 4 or 5 (including amendments

the undersigned regarding the purposes outlined in the first paragraph hereof,
and the authority of the attorney-in-fact named in any such prior power of
attorney is hereby revoked.

	This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the

undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company,
unless earlier (a) revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to
the foregoing attorneys-in-fact or (b) superseded by a new power of attorney
regarding the purposes outlined in the first paragraph hereof dated as of a
later date.
	IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
