About Sunstone Hotel Investors

Sunstone Hotel Investors operates as a real estate investment trust centered on the lodging industry. The company holds stakes in 19 hotel properties totaling 9,997 guest rooms, and its work centers on buying, owning, and managing these assets, along with renovating or repositioning them under what it calls "Long-Term Relevant Real Estate." Many of its properties carry flags from well-known chains such as Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt.

The company generates income through its portfolio of hotel real estate, overseeing each property's upkeep and positioning rather than running day-to-day hotel operations directly. Its approach combines ownership with active asset management, aiming to maintain and improve the value of the buildings it controls across its collection of properties.
