Description: RLJ RLJ Lodging Trust November 17, 2025

RLJ Lodging Trust (NYSE:RLJ) is a self-advised REIT that owns 94 premium-branded, rooms-focused hotels situated in high-margin, urban cores across the United States. The portfolio is deliberately diversified across major metropolitan markets, allowing exposure to a mix of business, leisure, and ancillary travel demand.

Key industry metrics that currently shape RLJ’s outlook include: (1) U.S. upscale hotel occupancy, which the STR report shows hovering around 71% in Q3 2024-approximately 4 percentage points above the five-year average, supporting higher RevPAR; (2) average daily rate (ADR) growth of roughly 6% YoY in the same period, driven by limited new supply in dense urban zones; and (3) interest-rate sensitivity, as REITs with sizable debt portfolios (RLJ’s leverage ratio was ~6.2× FY 2023) may see cost-of-capital pressure if the Federal Reserve maintains rates above 5%.

If you want a data-driven, side-by-side comparison of RLJ’s valuation multiples, occupancy trends, and peer performance, the ValueRay platform provides a concise dashboard that can help you test the robustness of your investment thesis.
