Key facts: DiamondRock Raises Guidance; Acquires Bellmoor Resort

What happened

DiamondRock Hospitality reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $297.6 million, up 4.3% from a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA, a measure of operating earnings, of $84.8 million, up 7.2%. It also raised its 2026 guidance and acquired The Bellmoor Inn & Spa for $31 million on October 1, 2026.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Higher revenue and operating earnings, alongside raised guidance, point to stronger reported performance and expectations for the year. The Bellmoor purchase adds a 79-room resort to DiamondRock’s portfolio; its contribution to future revenue and costs will depend on operating results after the acquisition.
