Hotel Giants Post Mixed Q3 as Hilton Trims 2025 RevPAR Outlook and Luxury Outpaces Budget Brands

Luxury strength contrasts with U.S. midscale softness, pressuring guidance.

Overview

  • Hilton’s third quarter beat expectations, delivering $3.12 billion in revenue and adjusted EPS of $2.11 on roughly $421 million in net income.
  • Comparable RevPAR fell 1.1% system-wide and 2.3% in the U.S. at Hilton, while luxury brands LXR, Conrad and Waldorf Astoria posted RevPAR gains.
  • Hilton cut its 2025 RevPAR view to flat to up 1% but raised full-year EPS guidance and outlined about $3.3 billion in capital returns for 2025.
  • Peer updates highlighted the split: IHG’s global RevPAR edged up 0.1% with softer Americas results, whereas Wyndham’s fell 5% and its full-year outlook was reduced.
  • CoStar’s latest weekly data showed slight U.S. RevPAR slippage with sharp local swings, including a San Francisco surge tied to Dreamforce and declines in Tampa and Miami.
