About RLJ Lodging Trust

From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission

SEC filings

RLJ Lodging Trust is based in Bethesda, Maryland and is incorporated in Maryland. Its shares trade on NYSE under the ticker RLJ. The SEC classifies its business as real estate investment trusts. In the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, it reported revenue of $1.35bn and net income of $28.5m. At that date it held total assets of $4.74bn and shareholders' equity of $2.17bn.

In its own words

We are a self-advised and self-administered Maryland real estate investment trust that owns primarily premium-branded, rooms-oriented, high-margin, focused-service and compact full-service hotels located within heart of demand locations. We are one of the largest U.S. publicly-traded lodging REITs in terms of both number of hotels and number of rooms. Our hotels are concentrated in markets that we believe exhibit multiple demand generators and attractive long-term growth prospects. We believe premium-branded, focused-service and compact full-service hotels with these characteristics generate high levels of RevPAR, strong operating margins and attractive returns.

As of December 31, 2025, we owned 93 hotel properties with approximately 20,800 rooms, located in 23 states and the District of Columbia. We owned, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, a 100% interest in 91 of our hotel properties, a 95% controlling interest in one hotel property, and a 50% non-controlling interest in an entity owning one hotel property. We consolidate our real estate interests in the 92 hotel properties in which we hold a controlling financial interest, and we record the real estate interest in the one hotel property in which we hold an indirect 50% non-controlling interest using the equity method of accounting. We lease 92 of the 93 hotel properties to our TRSs, of which we own a controlling financial interest.
