Marriott International's systemwide second-quarter business transient revenue per available room grew 2 percent year over year, the company reported Monday during an earnings call.
In the United States and Canada, second-quarter business transient RevPAR rose 3 percent year over year, with "mid-single-digit [average daily rate] increases offsetting slight declines in room nights," according to Marriott CEO Anthony Capuano. Government RevPAR rose 5 percent year over year, attributable to easier comparisons against a weak Q2 2025.
Second-quarter group RevPAR rose 3 percent year over year globally and 4 percent in the U.S. and Canada. Marriott EVP and CFO Jennifer Mason said full-year systemwide group booking pace is up 5 percent year over year and U.S. group booking pace is up about 6 percent.
"We continue to expect all segments to be up for the full year, with leisure continuing to lead, followed by group and then [business travel]," Mason said.
Second-quarter RevPAR across Marriott's U.S. and Canadian portfolio rose 5 percent year over year, which Capuano called "the highest quarterly increase in 13 quarters." The RevPAR strength, Capuano added, was spread across World Cup and non-World Cup markets and was "pervasive" across chain scales with select-service RevPAR up 4 percent year over year behind a 9 percent hike in luxury RevPAR.
