Understand RLJ Lodging Trust: how it makes money

RLJ Lodging Trust owns premium-branded, high-margin, focused-service and compact full-service hotels, and it makes money primarily from hotel operations such as room revenue and other hotel-related revenue.

Hotel-level operating performance drives results, so changes in demand reflected in occupancy are the core structural input, while the size and composition of the portfolio (103 hotels, 22,570 rooms, premium-branded focused-service and compact full-service) determines how much revenue and earnings those operating conditions can produce.
