How to read this

What to know about these figures

  • Host's comparable RevPAR covers an upper-upscale REIT portfolio; Marriott's system-wide figure spans the whole brand mix worldwide — different measurements, compare with care.
  • GOP margin is before fixed charges, insurance and property taxes; hotel EBITDA runs notably below GOP.
  • HVS development costs are medians of 2024 budgets; the luxury tail reaches $2M per key.
  • Russian figures (Moscow ADR) are ruble-denominated and not directly comparable to dollar rows.
