About Park Hotels & Resorts Inc.
About Park Hotels & Resorts Inc.
Park Hotels & Resorts held 34 hotels and resorts with 22,561 rooms as of February 20, 2026, concentrated in six markets — Florida, Hawaii, Chicago, New York City, New Orleans, and Boston — that together represented over 69% of the company's room count. Florida and Hawaii alone generated over 39% of total revenue in 2025. All rooms are in the U.S. and its territories; over 96% of Core portfolio rooms are luxury or upper upscale.
Park Hotels & Resorts operates as a pure-play lodging REIT: the company leases substantially all hotels to taxable REIT subsidiary lessees, which engage third-party managers under agreements carrying base management fees of approximately 1% to 4% of gross hotel revenues plus performance-based incentive fees. A majority of properties carry Hilton-family brands and participate in the Hilton Honors loyalty program, a brand dependency the company does not directly control. Five properties operate under franchise agreements requiring royalty fees of 5% to 6% of gross rooms revenue. Since the January 2017 spin-off from Hilton, the company has divested 51 hotels for $3 billion in proceeds. Active capital projects include over $250 million in guestroom renovations at Hawaii and New Orleans properties spanning 2024-2026, and a $100 million full renovation at Royal Palm South Beach Miami expected to reopen in June 2026. In September 2025, the company amended its credit agreement to add an $800 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility.
Show full overview
Park Hotels faces a material 2026 debt maturity: two mortgage loans totaling approximately $1.4 billion are due in 2026, which the company intends to retire using draws on the $800 million delayed draw term loan — available through September 17, 2026 — and Non-Core hotel sale proceeds. Geographic concentration in coastal markets subjects the portfolio to climate-related risk: the 10-K identifies hurricane damage, rising sea levels, and increasing storm intensity as factors that could raise insurance costs, limit property insurability, and require capital spending at coastal hotels in Florida and Hawaii.
