- Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc is a real estate investment trust primarily engaged in the ownership, operation, acquisition, and development of luxury hotels and resorts. The company's portfolio consists of luxury full-service hotels and resorts under prestigious brands including Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Park Hyatt, Autograph Collection by Marriott, Hilton, and Sofitel. Braemar’s core products and services encompass ownership and management of upscale resort and urban hotel properties, real estate investment in luxury hospitality assets, and strategic development including holding excess land for future value appreciation. Geographically, the company operates mainly within the United States and the Caribbean.
Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Braemar Hotels & Resorts focuses on high-end market segments targeting premium leisure and business travelers. The portfolio includes nine resort properties and five urban hotels, with recent valuations supported by above-market revenue per available room (RevPAR) growth.
In the last 1-2 years, Braemar has undergone significant strategic shifts. In 2025, the company initiated a process to sell its entire portfolio in response to persistent disconnects between its share price and intrinsic net asset values. This move includes the formation of a special committee to explore strategic alternatives and engage potential buyers. Recently, Braemar has entered into definitive sale agreements, including the sale of The Clancy hotel in San Francisco for $115 million, expected to close in late 2025. The company has also completed acquisitions such as the 96-room Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Puerto Rico, and acquired the Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles. Additionally, the company has extended mortgage loans on key assets and maintained dividend increases and stock repurchase authorizations as part of its capital strategy aimed at maximizing shareholder value.
Braemar’s strategic focus remains on maintaining a portfolio of luxury properties with strong market positioning, as evidenced by its consistent RevPAR outperformance compared to the U.S. hotel industry average. The company operates as a publicly traded REIT listed on the NYSE under the ticker BHR and has established relationships with Ashford Hospitality Trust for asset management and operational services.
Overall, Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc is a Dallas-based luxury-focused hospitality REIT that owns, operates, and invests in premium branded hotels and resorts primarily in the U.S. and Caribbean markets while currently pursuing a full-sale strategy to unlock shareholder value through portfolio divestiture and selective asset sales. The company's recent operational and financial maneuvers reflect a strategic pivot amid evolving market conditions and investor activism.
