Description: HST Host Hotels & Resorts October 30, 2025

Host Hotels & Resorts (NASDAQ:HST) is the largest lodging REIT in the S&P 500, owning 75 U.S. hotels and five international properties for roughly 42,900 rooms, plus non-controlling stakes in eight joint-venture hotels. The portfolio is anchored by premium brands such as Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Hyatt, Hilton, Four Seasons and independent operators, reflecting a focus on luxury and upper-upscale assets.

Key recent metrics: FY 2023 adjusted funds-from-operations (AFFO) rose 12% YoY to $1.45 billion, driven by a rebound in occupancy to 73% and RevPAR growth of 9% amid a strong leisure travel surge. The REIT’s weighted-average lease term remains above 15 years, providing cash-flow stability, while its exposure to interest-rate risk is mitigated by a 2025-maturing $1.2 billion term loan at a fixed 4.75% rate. Sector-wide, U.S. hotel demand is increasingly tied to domestic leisure spending and corporate travel recovery, both of which are sensitive to consumer confidence and GDP growth.
