Marriott International’s 10,000-Hotel Milestone — Can Record Signings Fuel The Next Expansion?

Marriott International reported solid financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2026, with revenue per available room (RevPAR) and earnings exceeding prior expectations. The company’s global portfolio expanded by 4.5% in net rooms over the trailing 12 months, reaching approximately 1.8 million rooms across more than 10,000 properties. Global RevPAR increased 3.4% year-over-year, driven notably by a 5% rise in the U.S. and Canada, marking the strongest quarterly growth in over three years. Luxury and resort segments outperformed, with luxury RevPAR increasing over 9%, and select service hotels also showing positive momentum with over 4% growth. However, international regions faced challenges as ongoing conflict in the Middle East weighed on results, with EMEA’s RevPAR declining just over 5%. Recovery in Europe and parts of Asia-Pacific helped offset some of this weakness, while Greater China posted a 3% RevPAR gain amid uneven consumer spending.
