Marriott International reported second-quarter 2026 results on Aug. 3, 2026, with worldwide RevPAR up 3.4% year over year and U.S. and Canada RevPAR up 5%, which CEO Anthony Capuano called the region's largest quarterly gain in 13 quarters. Luxury RevPAR rose more than 9%; in the U.S. and Canada leisure RevPAR grew 7%, group 4% and business transient 3%. Marriott raised its full-year systemwide RevPAR outlook to 3%-3.5% growth, reported a record global pipeline of roughly 629,000 rooms and system size above 10,000 properties and nearly 1.8 million rooms. Capuano said the company is increasingly using AI across the enterprise to improve owner revenue, guest experience and associate workflow automation, following the June launch of Ask Bonvoy, an AI-powered search tool for travelers. CFO Jen Mason credited World Cup demand in June and July.
