Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am extremely pleased with Park's first quarter results, which came in well ahead of expectations due to encouraging demand growth across our portfolio from both leisure and business travel. Strong leisure demand continued in Hawaii, Florida and Puerto Rico, while business and group demand in our San Francisco, New York, Boston, Washington, D.C. and Chicago markets witnessed solid gains during the second half of the quarter, which have accelerated into April. Despite some disruption from the Omicron variant during the first six weeks of the quarter, we continued to generate positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter and surpassed 2019 average daily rate for the portfolio for the first time since the start of the pandemic. Looking ahead, I am very encouraged by the accelerating demand trends we have been seeing month to month for the balance of the year and expect Park's diversified portfolio to benefit across all major segments. With current liquidity of over $1.5 billion, we are well positioned to seek out opportunities throughout the year to execute Park's business and growth strategies."
