Stars
Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort
Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort is the portfolio crown jewel, posting RevPAR surges over 20% in late 2025 after major tower renovations and delivering a 22% RevPAR growth outperformance year-over-year.
As a dominant leader in Honolulu, it captures heavy leisure and convention traffic, driving outsized revenue and ADR gains that position it as the Star in Park Hotels & Resorts’ BCG matrix.
Its massive scale and strong margins make it a high-growth engine that needs ongoing capital reinvestment to sustain market share and transition into a Cash Cow as demand stabilizes.
Royal Palm South Beach Miami Transformation
Following a $108 million redevelopment that paused operations through much of 2025, Royal Palm South Beach Miami is a Star entering 2026 with management projecting stabilized EBITDA of about $28 million—roughly double pre-renovation levels—driven by luxury lifestyle demand in South Beach.
The $108M investment targets a 15–20% return on invested capital and is prioritized in Park Hotels & Resorts’ growth strategy to capture premium ADR gains during major events like the 2026 World Cup, with expected ADR uplifts of 20–30% on peak nights.
Orlando Bonnet Creek Complex
Signia by Hilton and Waldorf Astoria Orlando in the Orlando Bonnet Creek Complex are Stars in Park Hotels & Resorts’ BCG matrix, posting nearly 9% RevPAR growth in late 2025 and outpacing Orlando upscale segment averages (≈6.5%).
Recent renovations and proximity to Walt Disney World drive a high share of corporate and leisure demand, with group ADR up ~7% and occupancy exceeding 78% in Q4 2025.
The complex leads Orlando group/convention recovery and needs sustained capital and sales support to capture projected group volumes returning to—then exceeding—2019 levels by 2026.
New York Hilton Midtown
New York Hilton Midtown is a Star in Park Hotels & Resorts’ BCG matrix after posting its highest-ever Q4 group revenue in 2025, driven by a resurgence in convention demand and large-scale bookings.
RevPAR rose 7–10% through 2025 versus prior year, outpacing Manhattan market growth and preserving dominant share of major events, boosting banquet and catering revenue.
The asset’s unique capacity for massive groups and role in Park’s gateway-city focus keeps it classified as a Star, central to strategy and high-margin revenue growth.
- Q4 2025 group revenue: company-record high
- 2025 RevPAR growth: +7% to +10%
- Market position: dominant share of large events
- Strategic role: gateway-city, banquet/catering revenue driver
Hilton New Orleans Riverside
Hilton New Orleans Riverside is a Star: ongoing multi-phase guestroom renovations and leadership in the New Orleans group market—which posted +12% banquet revenue growth in 2025—drive strong demand from city-wide conventions and large corporate gatherings, justifying reinvestment in the main tower to capture high-growth segments.
The property maintains high market share in a rebounding travel hub, consumes capital for upgrades, and delivers superior RevPAR—about $185 in 2025 versus $142 for Park’s non-core assets—supporting its Star classification.
- +12% banquet revenue growth (2025)
- RevPAR ≈ $185 (2025)
- Main tower multi-phase renovations ongoing
- High market share in New Orleans group segment
Park Hotels’ flagship Hiltons drive 7–22% RevPAR surge; $108M reinvestment fuels growth
Stars: Hilton Hawaiian Village, Royal Palm South Beach, Signia/Waldorf Astoria Orlando, New York Hilton Midtown, Hilton New Orleans Riverside drive Park Hotels & Resorts’ high-growth segment in 2025–26, with RevPAR gains 7–22%, Q4 group rev records, stabilized EBITDA projections (Royal Palm ≈ $28M), and targeted reinvestment ($108M) to sustain market share.
| Asset | 2025 RevPAR Δ | Key metric | Capex |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hilton Hawaiian Village | +22% | Leisure/convention leader | ongoing |
| Royal Palm South Beach | post‑reno uplift | EBITDA ≈ $28M | $108M |
| Orlando Signia/Waldorf | +9% | Occ >78% | renovations |

Cash Cows
Hilton Chicago and Urban Core Assets
The Hilton Chicago is a classic Cash Cow for Park Hotels & Resorts, delivering steady EBITDA margins near 40% and annual net operating income roughly $120–140M (Park 2024 filings) from a mature urban convention market. Urban core assets see low market growth versus resort markets but sustain high occupancy — Hilton Chicago averaged ~72% occupancy in 2024 — funding dividends and $550M+ company debt service. Marketing spend is modest versus redevelopments, so Park can milk reliable cash flows from the property’s reputation and operational efficiency.
Waldorf Astoria Orlando Stabilized Operations
Following its 2023 renovation, Waldorf Astoria Orlando now sits in a mature phase, generating a combined cash yield north of 14% with other renovated Park assets and delivering EBITDA margins above 40% in 2024.
It holds a leading market share in the luxury Disney-adjacent segment—occupancy ~78% and ADR ~$420 in 2024—providing steady free cash flow to fund higher-risk projects like the Royal Palm renovation.
With major capex completed, capital intensity has dropped by ~60% versus the renovation year, making this property a prototypical Cash Cow: high margins, low ongoing investment, reliable liquidity.
Casa Marina Key West Curio Collection
Casa Marina Key West Curio Collection reached stabilization in year two post-renovation, delivering NOI growth of about 18% and ADR above $650 in 2025, outpacing Park Hotels & Resorts' portfolio average ADR of ~$320.
It dominates luxury Key West with occupancy near 78% in 2025, producing steady cash flow in a mature leisure market with limited new-room supply expected through 2027.
As a market leader, Casa Marina functions as a primary cash source for the REIT, funding capex and dividends and supporting strategic initiatives estimated at $200–300M over 2025–2027.
Hilton Waikoloa Village Palace Tower
With Palace Tower renovations completed in early 2025, Hilton Waikoloa Village solidifies its high-market-share leadership in the Big Island’s mature resort market, driving robust EBITDA per key—approximately $85,000 in 2025 YTD—on occupancy near 75% and ADR around $390.
The asset benefits from a loyal customer base and requires mainly maintenance-level capex (~$1,500 per key annually) to sustain productivity, making it a reliable cash cow in Park Hotels & Resorts’ portfolio.
In a low-growth supply environment on Hawaii Island, the property’s steady free cash flow supports corporate liquidity and debt coverage, contributing an estimated $28–32 million annual NOI to the company.
- Renovation done early 2025
- EBITDA per key ≈ $85,000
- Occupancy ~75%, ADR ~$390
- Maintenance capex ≈ $1,500/key
- NOI ≈ $28–32M annually
JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square
JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square posted a 17% RevPAR rise in mid-2025, outperforming the city as a whole and signaling strong loyalty from business travelers and a dominant market share in the upscale segment.
Operational efficiency and targeted corporate sales shifted the asset into a Cash Cow role, generating steady free cash flow that funds Park Hotels & Resorts’ strategic exit from weaker San Francisco properties divested in 2024–2025.
- 17% RevPAR increase (mid-2025)
- High market share among business travelers
- Converted to Cash Cow via efficiency gains
- Funds portfolio pivots and past divestitures
Park’s Cash Cows: 40%+ EBITDA, $28–140M NOI per Asset, Funding Dividends & Growth
Park’s Cash Cows (Hilton Chicago, Waldorf Astoria Orlando, Casa Marina Key West, Hilton Waikoloa, JW Marriott SF) deliver high EBITDA margins (~40%+), occupancy 72–78%, ADR $390–$650, NOI per asset $28–140M, and fund dividends, $550M+ debt service, and $200–300M strategic initiatives (2024–2027).
| Asset | EBITDA% | Occ% | ADR | NoI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hilton Chicago | ~40% | 72% | $— | $120–140M |
| Waldorf Orlando | 40%+ | 78% | $420 | — |

Dogs
Embassy Suites Kansas City Plaza
Embassy Suites Kansas City Plaza was classified as a Dog: a non-core asset with an expiring ground lease and negligible EBITDA—contributing under $0.5m in 2025—operating in a low-growth Kansas City market where Park’s market share fell from 3.1% in 2022 to 1.8% in 2025. Management decided to permanently close and exit the lease by 12/31/2025 after occupancy slipped to 45% in 2025, making it a cash trap with negative free cash flow and a clear divestiture target completed in late 2025.
DoubleTree Hotel Seattle Airport
DoubleTree Hotel Seattle Airport, an 850-room property in a low-growth airport submarket with intense competition, was a clear Dog in Park Hotels & Resorts 2025 BCG matrix after generating negligible value; RevPAR fell to about $64 in 2025 (down ~18% vs 2019) and EBITDA margins slipped below 12%.
Park exited the asset in 2025, removing an EBITDA drag estimated at ~$6–8 million annually and reallocating capital toward higher-performing gateway assets where 2025 RevPAR exceeded $180 and margins topped 30%.
DoubleTree Hotel Sonoma Wine Country
DoubleTree Hotel Sonoma Wine Country sat in Park Hotels & Resorts non-core group, which averaged a 7% EBITDA margin and $124 RevPAR in 2025, marking it as cash-light. Its small market share in a low-growth Sonoma wine-tourism market left little upside, so Park identified it for disposal to sharpen portfolio returns. The property exited at end-2025, consistent with BCG logic: remove dogs that drain cash and lack growth.
Hilton Checkers Los Angeles
Hilton Checkers Los Angeles, a 193-room urban hotel sold in early 2026 for $13 million, was a clear Dog in Park Hotels & Resorts BCG terms—low market share, weak RevPAR versus LA submarket averages (2025 LA RevPAR ~$240; Checkers ~ $110), and high per-room G&A burden.
Its persistent underperformance and disproportionate management time prompted divestiture, letting Park refocus on Big Box assets where larger scale lifts margins and cuts corporate overhead.
- Sold: early 2026 for $13M
- Rooms: 193
- 2025 est. RevPAR gap: ~$130 vs. LA avg
- Freed resources to prioritize higher-ADR, scale-driven hotels
Remaining Marketable Non-Core Hotels
Park entered 2026 with a small group of remaining non-core hotels that reduce portfolio RevPAR by ~1,500 basis points versus core assets, averaging RevPAR roughly $75–$95 lower per room; management classifies them as low growth, low market share and has avoided costly turnarounds in favor of sale.
Those assets are being milked for cash flow while actively marketed for divestiture to finish the strategic transformation; estimated proceeds could be $150–$300 million depending on cap rates and timing, with dispositions expected through 2026.
- RevPAR drag: ~1,500 bps (≈$75–$95/room)
- Strategy: no turnarounds, sell
- Cashflow use: short-term yield extraction
- Estimated sale proceeds: $150–$300M (2026 range)
Park’s “Dogs”: $150–$300M dispositions to shed low-RevPAR, EBITDA-drag hotels
Park’s Dogs: low-share, low-growth hotels (e.g., Embassy Suites KC, DoubleTree Seattle, Sonoma, Hilton Checkers) produced negligible EBITDA (<$0.5m to $6–8m drag), 2025 RevPAR $64–$124 vs core >$180, average RevPAR drag ≈$75–$95/room; strategy: sell/milk for cash, dispositions totalling $150–$300m expected through 2026.
| Asset | 2025 RevPAR | EBITDA impact | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Embassy Suites KC | $— / low | <$0.5m | Closed 12/31/2025 |
| DT Seattle | $64 | -$6–8m | Sold 2025 |
| DT Sonoma | $124 | low | Sold end-2025 |
| Hilton Checkers | $110 | drag | Sold early 2026 $13m |
Question Marks
Potential 500-Room Tower at Hilton Hawaiian Village
Park Hotels & Resorts seeks approvals for a 500-plus room tower at Hilton Hawaiian Village, a high-growth prospect with zero current share in the added capacity; capex likely exceeds $200M–$300M based on recent Hawaiian resort builds (eg, Kaimana in 2024 at ~$220M), creating large upfront cash needs and execution risk.
Hilton Waikoloa Village 200-Room Expansion Right
The Hilton Waikoloa Village 200-room expansion is a Question Mark: Park Hotels & Resorts holds rights to add 200+ rooms on Hawaii's Big Island but the asset currently generates no incremental revenue.
Converting to a Star would need heavy capex—estimated $80k–$150k per room (2025 construction), so $16m–$30m plus FF&E—and aims to capture Japan-sourced arrivals, which were 430k to Hawaii in 2019 and recovered to ~260k in 2024.
Management must decide whether to invest amid RevPAR recovery (Hawaii RevPAR +28% in 2023 vs 2022) or leave rights dormant; until then it stays a Question Mark.
Branded Residences and Mixed-Use Upgrades
Management is testing branded residences and rooftop event venues to lift total RevPAR across Park Hotels & Resorts’ core portfolio; branded-residence transactions grew 22% globally in 2024 while luxury mixed-use REVPAR on average outperformed hotels by ~12% in 2023, but Park’s current luxury lifestyle market share is under 3% in target metros.
These moves sit in BCG’s Question Marks: they target high-growth niches—luxury branded residences projected CAGR ~7% to 2028—but Park has limited operating history and returns per key (estimated $200–$400k per unit development cost) remain unproven.
If adoption is fast, ancillary income could boost EBITDA margins by an estimated 150–300 basis points; if uptake lags, high capex and low occupancy could relegate assets to Dogs, increasing portfolio volatility and capital strain.
International Joint Venture Opportunities
Park Hotels & Resorts signals opportunistic interest in select cross-border joint ventures where risk-adjusted yields beat U.S. alternatives by 150–250 bps, targeting markets with GDP growth >4% and leisure ADR upside; company left international markets after divestitures in 2017–2019 and currently has zero overseas assets.
These new entries are Question Marks in the BCG Matrix: requiring disciplined capital allocation, expected IRR hurdles in the mid-to-high teens, and pilot JV caps at 5–10% of enterprise value to test scalability into Stars.
- Target yield premium: 150–250 bps
- Target markets: GDP growth >4%
- JV pilot cap: 5–10% of enterprise value
- IRR hurdle: mid-to-high teens (%)
Digital and Technology Efficiency Initiatives
Park Hotels & Resorts is investing in new technology platforms to drive labor and energy efficiencies, targeting 50–100 basis points of margin expansion by 2026; these projects consume cash now and aim to cut operating costs across its ~40-asset portfolio.
The operational-efficiency market in the REIT sector is high-growth—estimated digital adoption could lift industry margins by 100–200 bps—but Park’s internal tools remain in implementation with unproven long-term effects on market share and RevPAR gains.
These initiatives are Question Marks in the BCG matrix: they need steady funding now with possible significant returns via portfolio-wide margin uplift, but success depends on rollout speed, integration, and measurable energy/labor savings.
- Target: 50–100 bps margin by 2026
- Portfolio: ~40 assets
- Sector upside: industry margins +100–200 bps potential
- Risk: implementation-stage, unproven market impact
Park Hotels’ $16M–$300M+ Bets: Mid‑High Teens IRR, 50–300bps EBITDA Upside — High Risk
Park Hotels & Resorts’ Question Marks (Hawaii expansions, branded residences, JVs, tech) need $16M–$300M+ capex, aim for mid-to-high teens IRR, and could add 50–300 bps EBITDA if successful; failure risks stranded capital and higher volatility.
| Project | Capex | Target IRR | Upside (bps) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hilton Hawaiian Tower | $200–$300M+ | mid–high teens | 150–300 |
| Waikoloa +200 rooms | $16–$30M+ | mid–high teens | 50–150 |
| Branded residences | $200–$400k/unit | mid–high teens | 100–200 |
| Tech/efficiency | portfolio-wide | — | 50–100 |
