RLJ Lodging Trust is sitting on a billion dollars in liquidity, no debt maturities until 2029, and a RevPAR forecast that barely moves the needle. For operators running rooms-focused select-service hotels, the real question isn't whether this REIT survives inflation... it's what gets starved while the balance sheet looks pristine.
A "death cross" technical signal is getting attention for Park Hotels & Resorts, but the real deterioration is in the fundamentals: a net loss of $283 million, S&P leverage concerns, and 2026 guidance that assumes the world cooperates.
When a $10 billion fund manager starts showing cracks in their hotel debt portfolio, it's not just a Wall Street problem. It's a signal that the math is getting ugly for overleveraged properties everywhere... and some of you are sitting in them right now.
