The Bethesda, Maryland-based real estate investment trust stated that demand for premium hospitality experiences remained stable as higher-income travellers continued spending despite broader economic pressures affecting several sectors. The company has been focusing on luxury and upper-upscale properties, which have helped support occupancy and room pricing trends.
Following the earnings update, shares of Host Hotels rose around 2% in extended trading.
The REIT now expects adjusted FFO per share for 2026 to be between USD 2.10 and USD 2.16, higher than its earlier guidance of USD 2.03 to USD 2.11.
For the quarter ended March 31, the company reported adjusted FFO of 67 cents per share, ahead of market estimates of 59 cents per share, according to data compiled by LSEG.
Total revenue during the quarter stood at USD 1.65 billion, marking a 3.2% increase compared to the same period last year.
Host Hotels, one of the largest lodging REITs in the US hospitality sector, owns several luxury and convention-oriented hotel assets across key urban and resort markets. In recent quarters, luxury travel demand has remained relatively resilient compared to budget and mid-scale hospitality segments, helping major hotel owners maintain earnings growth even amid inflationary and economic concerns.
