Geography

The company specifically notes concentration in California, Texas, and Florida, which makes regional travel patterns, local supply growth, and weather-related disruptions important to performance.
Risks
Xenia is exposed to cyclical lodging demand, regional travel shocks, and competition from both hotels and alternative accommodations. Its reliance on third-party managers and concentration in Marriott and Hyatt brand families also create operating and brand-related risks, while hotel property values can be affected by impairment triggers, interest rates, and capital market conditions.
