Revenue Outlook for 2025:

• Revenue is projected to range between $62–$67 million, based on 8 properties totaling 855 units.
• RevPAR Growth: 2024 RevPAR performance is expected to finish at $180.60, with 2025 RevPAR projected to reach $216.58, driven by enhanced sales and distribution channels.  

Current Initiatives:

• Rebranding and ancillary revenue opportunities.
• Consistent tracking and modeling of RevPAR improvements to enhance performance and shareholder value.

Strategic Focus on NYC
LuxUrban will focus exclusively on New York City, where significant growth opportunities exist:

• NYC remains one of the highest RevPAR performers in the United States.
• Anticipated turnover of migrant hotel contracts, returning 14,000 rooms to the market.
• Continued financing pressures on hotel assets, creating acquisition opportunities in a supply-constrained market.
• Increased tourism activity driving demand for accommodations.

Looking Ahead to 2025
With a sharpened focus on profitable growth, strengthened partnerships, and a robust sales and distribution strategy, LuxUrban Hotels is well-positioned to capitalize on opportunities and deliver record performance in 2025

We thank you for your continued trust and support as we work to create long-term value for all stakeholders.

About LuxUrban Hotels, Inc.:

LuxUrban Hotels, Inc. is transitioning its strategic focus from securing long-term operating rights through Master Lease Agreements (MLAs) to acquiring and managing hotel properties outright. By purchasing hotel assets, LuxUrban seeks to enhance its control over operations and capitalize on ownership-driven value creation. The Company aims to build a robust portfolio of properties in destination cities by leveraging opportunities created by dislocations in commercial real estate markets and the significant volume of debt maturities coming due, often with limited refinancing options for owners.

This strategic pivot allows LuxUrban to move beyond operating rights and focus on full property ownership, providing enhanced long-term stability and the ability to fully capture the financial upside of the real estate assets it owns.
