Marriott Raises Full-Year RevPAR Guidance Following Strong Q3 2026 Results
Marriott International (MAR) reported strong third-quarter 2026 financial results, highlighted by a 6.5% increase in global revenue per available room (RevPAR). Driven by robust international travel and steady leisure demand, the company raised its full-year RevPAR growth guidance to a range of 4.5% to 5%. A key driver of this growth is Marriott's strategic focus on hotel conversions, which accounted for over 40% of total openings year-to-date. This approach allows the company to expand its footprint and capture management fees rapidly without the capital intensity or delays associated with new construction. Management also noted that 'key money' investments in 2025 yielded a significant value premium per room, further strengthening long-term contract economics.
