As of December 31, 2023, we owned 36 hotels with 9,746 rooms located in 25 different markets in the United States.

Our hotels are concentrated in major urban markets and in destination resort locations and more than 60% of our hotels are operated under a brand owned by one of the leading global lodging brand companies (Marriott International, Inc., Hilton Worldwide, or IHG Hotels & Resorts). We are an owner, as opposed to an operator, of the hotels in our portfolio. As an owner, we receive all of the operating profits or losses generated by our hotels after we pay fees to the hotel managers and hotel brands, which are based on the revenues and profitability of the hotels.

Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the hotel industry to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR, which is calculated as the product of ADR and occupancy percentage, is an important statistic for monitoring operating performance at the individual hotel level and across our business as a whole.

ADR and RevPAR include only room revenue. Room revenue comprised approximately 67% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 and is dictated by demand, as measured by occupancy percentage, pricing, as measured by ADR, and our available supply of hotel rooms.

Previous wording

Our portfolio is composed primarily of luxury and upper-upscale hotels and resorts located in major urban markets and popular leisure destinations. More than 60% of our profits come from our urban hotels, and we believe they are well positioned for outsized growth in 2024. Americans have transitioned back to the office but are not expected to return to a full five-day schedule as seen prior to the pandemic. Accordingly, group meeting activity is expected to be the leading source of revenue growth as the remote/hybrid office environment drives increased offsite employee meetings and events at our urban market hotels. Corporate transient demand is also expected to show steady improvement as office attendance increases. Our destination resorts have outperformed the recovery of the broader U.S. lodging industry and, depending on the macroeconomic environment, we expect the strong consumer preference for drive-to destinations will support resilient revenues and profits at our resorts in 2024. Longer term, we believe robust secular demand for experiential leisure travel, low growth in directly competitive supply, and targeted investments to renovate and reposition destination hotels can extend and intensify our growth. We anticipate industry profitability will be challenged by elevated interest rates and pressures on labor costs, insurance and property taxes as well as a short booking window and emerging and shifting travel patterns. We continue to work closely with our hotel managers to maximize revenue and identify operating efficiencies.

Current wording

Our portfolio, which consists primarily of luxury and upper upscale hotels and resorts in major urban centers and desirable leisure destinations, is well positioned for continued resilient performance. More than 60% of our 2024 earnings came from our urban hotels, and we expect further recovery in group and corporate transient travel as businesses continue to refine their hybrid work models. Group meetings and events are anticipated to continue to drive revenue growth, supported by an evolving office environment where companies prioritize offsite meetings to foster collaboration and engagement. Corporate transient demand is expected to show incremental improvements, benefiting from higher office attendance and expanding business travel budgets. While drive-to-resort destinations remain attractive, shifting economic conditions and evolving travel patterns could lead to some moderation in leisure spending. Longer term, we believe robust secular demand for experiential leisure travel, low growth in directly competitive supply, and targeted investments to renovate and reposition destination hotels can extend and intensify our growth. We anticipate industry profitability will be challenged by elevated interest rates and cost pressures on labor, insurance and property taxes. We continue to work closely with our hotel managers to maximize revenue and identify operating efficiencies.

City Center and $1.6 million related to the write-off of construction in progress that was determined not to be recoverable. The impairment of the Westin Washington D.C. City Center was a result of our evaluation of the recoverability of the carrying amount of the hotel due to our determination in the fourth quarter of 2024 that it is more likely than not that the hotel will be sold before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The impairment adjusts the hotel's carrying amount to its estimated fair value less costs to sell. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded an impairment loss of $0.9 million related to the write-off of construction in progress that was determined not to be recoverable.
