Home Our Properties Corporate Governance Investor Relations Contact Us Maintaining a balanced portfolio of high-quality assets with superior growth prospects in markets that have high barriers to entry. The 25 premium hotels and resorts DiamondRock owns throughout North America and the U.S. Virgin Islands are primarily categorized as upper upscale as defined by Smith Travel Research. These properties are generally located in high barrier-to-entry markets with multiple demand generators. Our properties are concentrated in the central business districts of key gateway cities (primarily New York City, Chicago, Boston and Los Angeles) and select resort locations (such as the U.S. Virgin Islands and Vail, Colorado). We believe lodging properties located in these types of markets present the most attractive opportunities to generate strong cash flow growth and achieve superior long-term capital appreciation. We also believe that these locations are better insulated from new supply due to relatively high barriers-to-entry, including expensive construction costs and limited development sites. Importantly, each of our hotels is managed by a third party – a majority of which are leading global lodging brand companies, including Marriott International, Inc.™ ("Marriott"), Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc.™ ("Starwood"), or Hilton Worldwide™ ("Hilton"). Partnering with top internationally-recognized hotel brands is a key component of our asset management strategy. We believe hotel brands can create significant value by leveraging strong reservation and reward systems and robust sales organizations to drive incremental revenue. In select cases, we partner with independent hotel managers with proven ability to generate returns that may be higher than if operated under a globally recognized brand. Ultimately, our goal is to match each property with the optimal management partner.
