Description: HST Host Hotels & Resorts January 02, 2026
Host Hotels & Resorts (NASDAQ:HST) is the largest lodging REIT in the S&P 500, owning 74 U.S. hotels and five international properties-about 42,500 rooms-plus non-controlling stakes in seven domestic joint ventures. The portfolio is anchored by premium brands such as Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Hyatt, Hilton, Four Seasons and independent upscale concepts.
Recent performance metrics show FY 2023 adjusted FFO of $1.12 per share and an occupancy rate of roughly 78% across the portfolio, with RevPAR up 5% YoY, reflecting a rebound in both leisure and business travel. The company maintains a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio near 4.5×, indicating moderate leverage relative to peers.
Key economic drivers for HST include discretionary consumer spending, corporate travel recovery, and the trajectory of interest rates, which affect REIT financing costs. A sector-wide trend toward upscale and luxury experiences is bolstering rental rates, while supply constraints in prime urban markets support occupancy stability.
