Hotel Recovery Is Slowing but Still Producing Solid Growth for Park Hotel's Portfolio

Park Hotels & Resorts is the second-largest U.S. lodging REIT, focusing on the upper-upscale hotel segment. The company was spun out of narrow-moat Hilton Worldwide Holdings at the start of 2017. Since the spinoff, the company has sold all its international hotels and 23 lower-quality U.S. hotels to focus on high-quality assets in domestic, gateway markets. Park completed the acquisition of Chesapeake Lodging Trust in September 2019, a complimentary portfolio of 18 high-quality, upper-upscale hotels that should help to diversify Park's hotel brands to include Marriott, Hyatt, and IHG hotels.
