Storm Drag in Hawaii, Royal Palm Back Online and Divestitures

RevPAR at Hilton Waikoloa Village surged 20.2%, and Hilton Hawaiian Village grew 5.0%, despite storms that management pegged at close to 280 basis points of combined drag. The Royal Palm South Beach Miami resumed operations in July 2026 after a renovation exceeding USD 110 million, and a project above USD 100 million at Ali'i Tower kicked off in August. Two non-core properties changed hands: the Hilton Short Hills went for USD 12 million and The Wade for around USD 19 million. The company says those exits eliminated about USD 80 million of planned Capital outlays. The Hilton New Orleans Riverside was a laggard, with RevPAR sliding 14.0%.

Refinancing a USD 1.275 Billion Mortgage Ahead of Its Due Date

Funding for retiring a USD 1.275 billion mortgage due November 1, 2026 came from two facilities that supplied USD 600 million and USD 700 million in September 2026. Available Liquidity approximated USD 1.3 billion, which includes USD 1 billion of revolving credit. Forecast comparable RevPAR growth now runs 5.5% to 6.0%, improved from 3.0% to 4.5%, while adjusted EBITDA is expected between USD 635 million and USD 645 million. Net income guidance now runs USD 70 million to USD 80 million, lower than the earlier USD 78 million to USD 98 million range. This year's capital spending should land between USD 270 million and USD 280 million. Management expects the refinancing to add roughly USD 13 million of interest, largely in the final quarter.

Where Things Stand

Partially. RevPAR momentum lifted adjusted FFO per share 11.2%, but GAAP results remained negative as operating income declined and refinancing and impairment charges pressed the bottom line. Park Hotels & Resorts (NYSE:PK) lifted its adjusted FFO and EBITDA outlook, yet reduced net income guidance, so the headline improvement and the earnings line diverge. Next checkpoints include fourth-quarter results, the January 15, 2027 dividend, finishing the New Orleans renovation and the Royal Palm ramp, which management believes could contribute 200 basis points or more to 2027 RevPAR growth.
