Marriott International’s financial results for the second quarter exceeded estimates, reporting total revenue of $6.7bn, a 5pc year-over-year increase.
RevPAR in the Asia-Pacific region grew by 9pc, driven by a strong average daily rate and increased international guest demand, while EMEA saw a 7pc rise. Despite ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, RevPAR in that region increased by over 10pc, highlighting regional resilience in hotel performance.
Marriott added 17,300 net hotel rooms during the second quarter, with a strong development pipeline of 3,858 hotels globally, including over 590,000 rooms. Group bookings for 2026 are up 8pc in the US and Canada, indicating a positive outlook despite expectations for flat business transient RevPAR due to stagnant government demand.
Tony Capuano shared, “International revenue per available room grew by more than 5pc, led by growth in the Asia-Pacific and EMEA regions. Even with higher construction costs and the challenging financing environment in the US and Europe, second-quarter deal signings rose 35pc. Marriott’s newer midscale brand offerings are attracting significant owner interest.”
Leeny Oberg shared, “Our full-year RevPAR growth is still expected to be meaningfully stronger internationally than in the US and Canada. Group bookings for 2026 are up 8pc in the U.S. and Canada and 7pc globally compared to a quarter ago.”
