It wasn’t necessarily a banner year, but 2024 was a good year for Marriott International.

The hotel giant announced fourth-quarter and full-year earnings and was up in almost every category.

“Marriott achieved excellent results in 2024, as we delivered best-in-class experiences that helped drive strong demand for our industry-leading portfolio of brands,” Anthony Capuano, President and Chief Executive Officer, said. “

“Full year global RevPAR rose 4.3 percent and, with record gross room additions of over 123,000, net rooms grew 6.8 percent to over 1.7 million rooms worldwide at year-end,” Capuano continued.

  • Fourth quarter 2024 RevPAR (Revenue per available room) increased 5.0 percent worldwide, with 4.1 percent growth in the U.S. and Canada and 7.2 percent growth in international markets
  • Fourth quarter reported diluted EPS totaled $1.63 and adjusted diluted EPS totaled $2.45
  • Fourth quarter reported net income totaled $455 million and adjusted net income totaled $686 million
  • Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA totaled $1,286 million
  • With record gross room additions of over 123,000 in 2024, net rooms grew 6.8 percent from year-end 2023
  • At the end of the year, Marriott’s worldwide development pipeline totaled nearly 3,800 properties and over 577,000 rooms
  • The company returned over $4.4 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases in 2024

And Marriott continues to expand.

“Looking ahead, I am incredibly optimistic about Marriott’s future,” Capuano said. “With our unparalleled global rooms distribution and brand portfolio, leading loyalty program with nearly 228 million Marriott Bonvoy members and our dedicated associates, I believe Marriott is well-positioned to take advantage of the continued momentum in travel.”

“With our powerful, cash-generating asset-light business model, we look forward to delivering strong, valuable growth as we continue to connect people around the world through the power of travel,” Capuano concluded.
