Host Hotels & Resorts owns about 70 luxury and upper-upscale hotel properties across the United States and five internationally, with roughly 41,300 rooms total. The company operates under well-known hotel brands including Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Hyatt, Hilton, and Westin. As a real estate investment trust, or REIT, Host Hotels owns the hotel buildings and grounds rather than operating them day-to-day. The company has owned and managed hotels since 1927.
