Strategic Asset Dispositions
In 2024, Park Hotels & Resorts strategically divested three hotels for a combined $200 million, improving RevPAR by $3 and EBITDA margin by over 30 basis points. The company plans to target $300 to $400 million in non-core asset sales in 2025 to further enhance portfolio quality and pay down debt.
Successful Redevelopments
The Bonnet Creek Resort in Orlando and Casa Marina Resort in Key West showed strong performance post-improvement. Bonnet Creek's RevPAR increased 17% and EBITDA exceeded $82 million, up 36% from the previous year. Casa Marina's RevPAR increased almost 29% since 2019, with EBITDA up 31% since 2019.
Positive Group Revenue Trends
Group revenue pace at the Bonnet Creek complex is up 15% for 2025, with expectations for continued growth due to new developments like Universal's $6 billion epic theme park opening.
Solid Operational Performance
Park Hotels ended Q4 with strong results, including a 30% RevPAR increase in Orlando and a 77% increase at Casa Marina. The Hilton Chicago saw nearly 15% growth in RevPAR and a 53 basis point improvement in EBITDA margin.
Royal Palm Resort Redevelopment
A $100 million investment is planned for the Royal Palm Resort in South Beach, expected to elevate its market positioning and potentially double its EBITDA post-renovation.
