Marriott Lifts 2025 Outlook as Luxury Leads, Choice Hotels Logs Record Q3 EBITDA

Earnings reflect resilient luxury demand alongside pressure on budget brands from reduced U.S. government travel.

  • Luxury outperformed for Marriott, with global luxury RevPAR up 4% and U.S./Canada luxury room revenue up 3.5%, while overall U.S. and Canada performance slipped 0.4%.
