2016 Operating Results: Top 10 Hotels
Pro-forma RevPAR for Park’s Top 10 Hotels, which accounts for approximately 65% of pro-forma Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, grew 0.6% for the year, driven by a 1.9% increase in rate, partially offset by a 1.0 percentage point decline in occupancy. For the fourth quarter, pro-forma RevPAR decreased 1.7%, resulting from a 1.5% decrease in rate and a 0.2 percentage point decrease in occupancy.
Hilton Waikoloa Village was the best performing hotel within the Top 10 Hotels in terms of RevPAR, experiencing growth of 14.3% due to strong in-house group demand. Parc 55 Hotel San Francisco and Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort also experienced RevPAR growth with both having increases in RevPAR of 3.6% for the year. Hilton Chicago and Hilton New York Midtown were among the weakest performers during the year, with decreases in RevPAR of 7.3% in and 4.9%, respectively. Chicago was negatively impacted from a soft citywide calendar, while New York continues to face headwinds from increased supply growth.
2016 Operating Results: Total Consolidated Portfolio
Pro-forma RevPAR increased 0.5% for the year driven by a 2.1% increase in rate, mostly offset by a 1.3 percentage point decline in occupancy due to softer conditions in Chicago, New York, Orlando and Washington, D.C. For the fourth quarter, pro-forma RevPAR decreased 0.8% with a decline in occupancy accounting for most of the decrease. With rates essentially flat during the quarter, rooms revenue decreased 2.0%, although there continues to be healthy gains in food and beverage revenue with an increase of 2.2% driven by banquets and catering. Across major markets, Park’s hotels in Hawaii, which account for 24% of pro-forma Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, were the best performers in 2016 with pro-forma RevPAR growth of 5.9%, followed by Parc 55 Hotel San Francisco and Hilton San Francisco Union Square, which generated pro-forma RevPAR growth of 3.6% and 3.3%, respectively.
With respect to group, which accounts for approximately one-third of Park’s business, 2016 was challenging due to conditions in Chicago during the first half of the year, coupled with the impact of the Moscone Center renovation in San Francisco during the second half of the year.
