Result Drivers

RESORT HOTEL STRENGTH - Q1 results were driven by continued strength at resort hotels, with the Bonnet Creek complex in Orlando posting a 16% RevPAR increase and nearly 19% group revenue growth, benefiting from recent renovations and meeting space expansion, per CEO Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr.

RENOVATION IMPACTS - Recent and ongoing renovations at key properties, including Hawaii and the Royal Palm, drove performance at several hotels but the Royal Palm's closure for renovation reduced overall RevPAR growth by over 390 basis points

URBAN HOTEL MIXED PERFORMANCE - Urban hotels in San Francisco, Denver and New York contributed to results, with JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square leading urban growth, though some properties faced headwinds from event-related comparisons and higher expenses
