This is a part of the hotelier’s Caribbean expansion plan. After a nine-year hiatus, this property will mark the come back of Hyatt-branded hotels in Puerto Rico upon its opening in 2014. The new property will feature 156 luxurious guest rooms along with various other amenities. Located near San Juan and in proximity to the city’s largest shopping mall, the property remains a strategic fit. Puerto Rico has been playing a major role in the hoteliers&#8217; Caribbean expansion.

		<description><![CDATA[We have recently downgraded our rating on the shares of  Starwood Hotels &#38; Resorts Worldwide Inc. (HOT) to Neutral from Outperform due to a slowdown in 2012 RevPAR growth target in North America, weak EBITDA projection as well as weakness in certain international markets. We were impressed with Starwood’s outperformance in the recently concluded fourth quarter of 2011. The strength of the namesake brand allows the company to charge a premium for its hotel rooms.  Moreover, the company is in a steady expansion mode. Starwood has over half of its hotel properties outside the U.S., an international exposure that not many of its peers can boast of. Starwood will open 80 new hotels in 2012, with 75% of them being outside North America, primarily in the faster growing Asia (60.0%). ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The hotels and lodging industry shaped up pretty well in 2011 thanks to the gradual global economic recovery, and seems to be poised for long-term growth. With the return of business as well as leisure travelers coupled with decelerating supply growth, pricing power remained steady in the year. Improvement in the U.S. economy and the consequent rise in operating metrics helped most of the hoteliers report strong quarterly results. Group bookings appear to be gaining momentum and the companies registered strong advance bookings and pricing for 2012 and beyond. Booking windows are also lengthening. However, macro headwinds can partially restrain the booking momentum in 2012. International Growth Owing to the saturation in the U.S market, major hoteliers are exploring growth opportunities abroad. Some international markets offer greater potential based on ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The hotels and lodging industry is finally showing improvements, and seems poised for long-term growth, thanks to the gradual global economic recovery. The industry has been witnessing a return of business travelers and a growing demand for leisure, though concerns about the health of the U.S. economic recovery pose some risks to this outlook. Riding on the back of improvement in the U.S. economy and the consequent rise in operating metrics, most of the hoteliers have started reporting strong quarterly results. Profits are expected to rise further in 2011 as bookings continue to improve. Despite some uncertainty about the near-term economic growth outlook notwithstanding, group bookings appear to be gaining momentum and the companies are recording strong advance bookings and pricing for 2012 and beyond. Booking windows are also lengthening. ]]></description>

Wyndham is also experiencing a recovery in its lodging business with a surge in leisure demands. Wyndham remains committed to enhancing shareholder value and expanding through acquisitions, given the robust free cash-flow generation by the company.

The company has recently partnered with Real Estate Development Ltd to open its first W Hotel in Russia. The hotel is located in St. Petersburg, which is also known as the “Venice of the North” and is most visited by tourists and citizens during the White Night Festival. Thus, we believe the hotel will enjoy one of the most strategic locations and drive traffic from all over the world.

		<description><![CDATA[We are maintaining our long-term Neutral recommendation on Starwood Hotels &#38; Resorts Worldwide Inc. (HOT), a leading worldwide hospitality company, which primarily focuses on property ownership, management and franchising. Starwood’s first quarter 2011 operating earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate, primarily driven by better-than-expected demand for hotels. We believe the strength of Starwood’s brand allows the company to charge a premium for its hotel rooms. With average daily rate picking up and strong return of the group business, the company expects room rate to drive 50% or more of RevPAR growth in 2011. With 75% of corporate rate negotiations complete, Starwood expects to cumulate high single-digit rates in 2011. Leisure demand is also increasing as wealthier households are increasing their leisure expenses. Moreover, Starwood has over half of its hotel ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The hotels and lodging industry seems to be back in demand, thanks to the gradual global economic recovery. The industry has been witnessing a return of business travelers and a growing demand for leisure. Riding on the back of improvement in the U.S. economy and the consequent rise in operating metrics, most of the hoteliers have started reporting strong quarterly results. Profits are expected to rise further in 2011 as bookings continue to improve. Positive estimate revisions give us ample evidence of this growth momentum. International Growth Since the U.S. market is somewhat saturated, hoteliers are exploring growth opportunities abroad. International markets offer greater potential based on the higher pace of economic growth that they currently enjoy. The U.S.-based companies are targeting fast-growing emerging economies.

		<description><![CDATA[Wyndham Worldwide&#8217;s (WYN) fourth quarter 2010 earnings were ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate, primarily due to strong operational performance at each of the three businesses, sound expense management and continued share repurchases. Going forward, we expect Wyndham to benefit from its repositioning to a more fee-for-service based business. Wyndham is also experiencing recovery in lodging business with surge in leisure demands. Wyndham remains committed to enhancing shareholder value and expanding through acquisitions, given the robust free cash flow generation by the company. Moreover, the company is strengthening its presence in the international markets, particularly in Europe and Asian markets like China and India. Hence, we maintain an Outperform rating on the stock.

On a reported basis, Wyndham delivered earnings of 41 cents per share versus 27 cents in the prior-year quarter. The increase was mainly driven by higher revenue per available room (RevPAR) in the Lodging business, strong operational performance by the Vacation Ownership and Vacation Exchange and Rentals business. Net revenue spiked 7.4% year over year to $952 million in the reported quarter, reflecting a modest adjusted sales momentum across Wyndham’s three business units and substantial contributions from acquisitions. However, revenues failed to beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $962 million. Inside the Headline Numbers The company’s Lodging ]]></description>

In the year-earlier quarter, the company had earned 40 cents per share. On a reported basis, Wyndham reported earnings of 43 cents per share versus 40 cents recorded in the prior-year quarter. The increase was largely driven by higher revenue per available room (RevPAR) in the Lodging business, strong operational performance by the Vacation Ownership business and a lower effective tax rate.

		<description><![CDATA[Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (WYN), a noted hospitality company, announced that through its Exchange and Rentals business unit it is buying ResortQuest, a vacation rental firm in the U.S., for $56 million. The deal is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2010. ResortQuest’s portfolio of 6,000 properties throughout the United States will complement Wyndham&#8217;s existing network of 85,000 vacation properties in approximately 100 countries, with most of them in Europe. The company has acquired about 30 European rental brands since 2000. Management believes that this acquisition will facilitate its expansion in the U.S. serviced vacation rental market, which is a $10 billion market and currently lacks a significant player. Moreover, ResortQuest&#8217;s strong presence in the U.S. and Wyndham’s market leadership in Europe will enable the company ]]></description>

As per the agreement, Wyndham will franchise the Planet Hollywood Hotels brand and provide management services globally. However, Wyndham will have no right on brand’s trademarks and intellectual property; the rights will be retained to Planet Hollywood only.  The Planet Hollywood brand was founded in 1989 and it is renowned as an entertainment-based brand. Management anticipates that the recent addition of this brand to its portfolio will enable it to broaden its customer base. We remain positive on the deal as it is in sync with Wyndham’s strategy to acquire brands and expand through its franchise model, given that it reduces the company’s capital intensity.

		<description><![CDATA[Wyndham&#8217;s (WYN) second quarter 2010 earnings were ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate, primarily due to better-than-expected business in Vacation Exchange and Rentals, along with a lower effective tax rate and favorable impact of foreign currency translation. The company has also raised its fiscal year 2010 outlook. The company provides various hospitality products and services to individual consumers and businesses. Going forward, we expect Wyndham to benefit from its repositioning to a more fee-for-service based business and strategic focus on Vacation Exchange and Rental business. Moreover, with lower cash taxes, we expect the company to generate strong free cash flow and return the capital to shareholders. Additionally, considering the reviving lodging industry and increasing occupancy rate, we expect the top-line improvement to gain momentum, going forward. Hence, we are upgrading ]]></description>

(MHGC) reported its second quarter 2010 loss from continuing operations of 75 cents per share, highly disappointing as compared with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 29 cents and the year-ago quarter’s loss of 32 cents. The wider-than-expected losses were due to the expense related to the development of the hotel Mondrian in SoHo and absence of tax benefit recorded in second quarter 2009. Total revenue rose 10.3% year over year to $60.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA soared 19.7% from the prior-year quarter to $14.0 million. Inside the Headline Numbers The RevPAR (Revenue per Available Room) for system-wide comparable hotels jumped 13.3% (up 14.0% on a constant-dollar basis), due to a rise in occupancy and average daily rate (ADR), which were positive for the first ]]></description>

The operating metrics are looking up, and year-over-year comparisons are becoming easier as the operating environment was significantly stressed in the prior year. Though businesses are still cost-conscious, the recovery in the economy has seen a return of business travelers, with leisure demand increasing as well. However, the rate of improvement is still sluggish, in keeping with the slow pace of the economic revival. Since the U.S. market is somewhat saturated, hoteliers are exploring growth opportunities abroad. Hotel companies are seeing higher demand in the international market, as the pace of economic recovery is particularly fast outside the U.S. U.S.-based companies are targeting the fast-growing emerging economies.

		<description><![CDATA[May 6, 2010 I wrote this on Wednesday evening, prior to today’s (Thursday&#8217;s) large market drop. The primary point I make in the commentary below—that you should not sell simply because it is May—is still valid. Today’s drop has nothing to do with the calendar. Why are traders suddenly very fearful of the problems in Greece, when they weren’t last week or last month? My guess is that this market activity has more to do with momentum trading, in this case to the downside, than anything else. Your best defense is to stay diversified and have an allocation strategy that is appropriate for your age and financial situation.

On an adjusted basis, earnings came in at 34 cents, ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 30 cents and toward the high end of the company’s previous guidance of 27 cents to 37 cents. The beat was driven by better-than-expected revenues. In the prior-year quarter, Wyndham earned $45 million or 25 cents per share. Adjusted earnings came in at 41 cents per share. Wyndham reported revenues of $886 million, down 2% from the prior-year period. Excluding changes in accounting associated with its vacation ownership business and favorable currency impacts, revenues were up 5%. Wyndham experienced solid timeshare revenues which were better than expectations. Revenue per available room (RevPAR) also improved during the quarter. ]]></description>

While hotel occupancy levels have somewhat improved, we noticed that pricing pressures persists as hotels continue to offer heavily discounted rates to draw in travelers.

Earnings were ahead of both the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 37 cents and the company’s guidance of 35 to 38 cents a share. The beat was driven by better-than-expected revenue. The company had experienced a $7.63 loss per share in the prior-year period as a result of goodwill impairments, foreign currency losses, restructuring costs and legacy items. Excluding these items, the company reported adjusted earnings of 47 cents a share in the year-ago quarter. Wyndham has also announced an increase in its quarterly cash dividend to 12 cents from 4 cents per share.
