Despite Slowing RevPAR Growth, Park Hotels Should See Margin Growth After Renovations Complete
Business Strategy and Outlook
Park Hotels & Resorts is the second-largest US 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 25 lower-quality US hotels to focus on high-quality assets in domestic, gateway markets. Park completed the acquisition of Chesapeake Lodging Trust in September 2019, a complementary portfolio of 18 high-quality, upper-upscale hotels that should help to diversify Park's hotel brands to include Marriott, Hyatt, and IHG hotels.
