Q4 operational commentary
Leisure transient continued to be the strongest customer segment, while group also had a strong quarter, helped by the timing of the Rosh Hashanah holiday, which occurred in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
Net package RevPAR increased 8.3% in the fourth quarter compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting continued strength in luxury all-inclusive travel.
Gross fees increased 4.5% in the fourth quarter compared to the same period in 2024, or 5.4% excluding the impact of the Playa Hotels acquisition.
- Base management fees increased 8.1% from the contribution of newly-opened hotels and managed hotel RevPAR growth outside of the U.S.
- Incentive management fees increased 13%, led by newly opened hotels, hotel performance in Asia-Pacific and all-inclusive hotel performance in Europe.
- Franchise and other fees decreased 3.8% due to the elimination of franchise fees from the eight Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara properties that were part of the Playa Hotels acquisition and lower demand at select-service properties in the U.S., partially offset by fees from newly opened hotels.
Owned and leased segment adjusted EBITDA declined 1.5% in the fourth quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 after adjusting for assets sold in 2024 and the period of ownership of the hotels acquired as part of the Playa Hotels acquisition due to renovations at certain properties.
Distribution segment adjusted EBITDA declined in the fourth compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 due to the impact of Hurricane Melissa and lower booking volumes in four-star and below properties.
