About Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc.

Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc. (ticker: APLE) is a U.S.-listed hotel REIT traded on the NYSE in the United States. For French-speaking investors, it is best understood as an income-oriented real estate vehicle focused on the upper-upscale select-service lodging segment. Its portfolio is concentrated in branded hotels, primarily under Marriott and Hilton flags, with a smaller Hyatt presence and one independent hotel. The company was formed in November 2007 as a Virginia corporation, and its headquarters are in Richmond, Virginia, which places it squarely within the U.S. hotel REIT landscape.([applehospitalityreit.com](https://applehospitalityreit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Apple-Hospitality-REIT-2024-Annual-Report-on-Form-10-K-1.pdf?utm_source=openai)) Apple Hospitality’s business model is centered on owning hotel real estate and generating cash flow from operating a diversified national portfolio. Rather than selling consumer products, the company provides lodging and asset-management services through its hotels: guest accommodation, revenue optimization, property-level capital upgrades, and ongoing maintenance of brand standards. Its competitive position comes from a combination of national diversification, strong franchise affiliation with leading hospitality brands, and a relatively disciplined balance-sheet and capital-allocation approach. In a sector that can be cyclical, the select-service format typically offers a simpler operating structure and a broad appeal to both business and leisure travelers.([applehospitalityreit.com](https://applehospitalityreit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Apple-Hospitality-REIT-2024-Annual-Report-on-Form-10-K-1.pdf?utm_source=openai)) As of March 31, 2026, Apple Hospitality owned 217 hotels with 29,583 guest rooms across 84 markets in 37 states and the District of Columbia. That footprint gives the REIT broad exposure to U.S. travel demand while reducing reliance on any single metro area or regional economy. The portfolio is heavily weighted toward Marriott- and Hilton-branded assets, which supports distribution strength, brand recognition, and access to established reservation systems and loyalty programs.([ir.applehospitalityreit.com](https://ir.applehospitalityreit.com/News/news-details/2026/Apple-Hospitality-REIT-Reports-Results-of-Operations-for-First-Quarter-2026/default.aspx?utm_source=openai)) Recent developments are notable. In its first-quarter 2026 release, the company reported year-over-year improvement in comparable RevPAR, occupancy, and ADR, alongside higher adjusted EBITDA-related metrics. Apple Hospitality also sold a 124-room Hampton Inn & Suites in Rochester, Minnesota, in April 2026, reflecting active portfolio management. In addition, management highlighted continued reinvestment in the hotels, with a meaningful capital-improvement program planned for 2026. For investors, APLE combines a monthly distribution profile with direct exposure to the U.S. lodging cycle, making it a classic hospitality REIT with a national scale and a brand-led operating model.([ir.applehospitalityreit.com](https://ir.applehospitalityreit.com/News/news-details/2026/Apple-Hospitality-REIT-Reports-Results-of-Operations-for-First-Quarter-2026/default.aspx?utm_source=openai))
