Marriott International reported stronger third-quarter results on Monday, November 2, 2026, and raised its full-year operating outlook. The company said global comparable revenue per available room, or RevPAR, increased 6.5 percent year over year, according to its third-quarter results release.

Demand supports higher outlook

RevPAR rose 7.4 percent in the U.S. and Canada and 4.4 percent in international markets. Marriott attributed the global increase to higher average daily rates and occupancy, while Europe supported the EMEA region despite continued pressure in the Middle East.

Marriott now expects worldwide RevPAR growth of 4.5 percent to 5 percent for full-year 2026, compared with its previous forecast of 3 percent to 3.5 percent. The same range applies to the fourth quarter and assumes continuation of the current macroeconomic environment.

Fees and development remain central

Franchise and base management fees rose 13 percent to 1.341 billion US dollars in the quarter. Incentive management fees increased 22 percent to 181 million US dollars, supporting the asset-light model as room growth and higher co-branded card fees added to the business.

Marriott added roughly 20,100 net rooms during the quarter. Its worldwide development pipeline reached more than 634,000 rooms across 4,209 properties, with 44 percent of pipeline rooms under construction. The company also said Marriott Bonvoy membership reached approximately 309 million at quarter-end.
