About Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc.
About Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc.
Xenia Hotels & Resorts owns 30 luxury and upper upscale hotels totaling 8,868 rooms across top-25 U.S. lodging markets and leisure destinations, with 23 of those hotels operating under Marriott or Hyatt brand flags. Approximately 22%, 18%, and 13% of the REIT's rooms are located in California, Texas, and Florida, respectively, and the company held $140.4 million of consolidated cash as of December 31, 2025.
As a REIT, Xenia cannot operate its hotels directly; instead it leases each property to its taxable REIT subsidiary, which contracts third-party management companies to run day-to-day operations under management and franchise agreements tied to the Marriott and Hyatt brand systems. The company funds its portfolio through a mix of secured mortgage debt, an $825 million senior unsecured credit facility (a $500 million revolver plus $325 million of term loans), and $900 million of senior notes split between 4.875% notes due 2029 and 6.625% notes due 2030; total debt carried a weighted-average interest rate of 5.51% and a 3.2-year weighted-average maturity as of December 31, 2025. Xenia also maintains a $200 million at-the-market equity program and had approximately $97.5 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization at year-end, giving it multiple levers to fund acquisitions or repay debt beyond property-level cash flow.
Show full overview
Xenia's own risk disclosures flag that its heavy reliance on just two franchisors amplifies event risk beyond simple diversification math: if Xenia's relationship with Marriott or Hyatt were to deteriorate or terminate over a management dispute, either company could terminate existing hotel agreements or decline to extend new ones, a risk sharpened by restrictive covenants in some franchise agreements that limit Xenia's ability to sell affected hotels. That two-brand dependency compounds the company's regional exposure: the 10-K separately warns that hurricanes, wildfires, and other acts of nature have already caused flooding and property damage in its California, Texas, and Florida markets, raising the prospect of multi-property closures in a single event.
