HST

Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc.

A real estate investment trust that owns luxury hotels and resorts across the United States, letting famous brands like Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, and Hyatt run the day-to-day operations. It traces its roots to the 1993 split of Marriott Corporation, when the piece that kept the hotels took the name "Host" from Host International, a 19th-century railroad and airport concessions firm. Fun fact: it renamed itself Host Hotels & Resorts in 2006 to break free of the Marriott name, even though it still owns many Marriott-branded properties.
