It was announced on Monday that Crown Resorts completed the sale of its subsidiary Alon Las Vegas Resorts to Wynn Resorts for approx. $300 million. The sale is the latest development of reported disinvestments undertaken by Crown Resorts over the past year, with the aim of re-evaluating its business interests.

The company originally planned to develop the land into an Alon hotel and casino, and will be using the proceeds of the sale to pay off company debt. The decision comes on the heels of a series of arrests in 2016 where a group of Crown employees promoted gambling to Chinese citizens and the company decided to reevaluate plans for international expansion.

This is the company’s second attempt to establish a casino in Las Vegas, but backed out of a 2009 deal due to the unfavourable economic climate. They were forced to pay a breakup fee of $320 million with it’s then partner Cannery Casino Resorts.

With the focus now off international development, Crown is setting its sights on it’s local resorts in Melbourne and Perth, and plans to build a new casino resort in Barangaroo, Sydney are also in the works.

Business travel is filling weeknight hotel rooms heading into 2027

Business travel is filling weeknight hotel rooms heading into 2027

Third-quarter 2026 earnings calls from Hilton, Hyatt and other hotel companies show business trips and meetings driving hotel growth, with weeknights especially strong. Hilton raised its full-year 2026 systemwide RevPAR forecast to 4%-4.5%. Strong midweek demand lets some hotels close discounted negotiated rates, a cost issue for anyone buying 2027 room programs.

  • 01On compression nights, some hotels are moving rooms out of discounted negotiated corporate contracts and into retail rates, so a falling negotiated-rate share can signal strong demand, not weak demand.
  • 02Corporate meeting demand is the fastest-growing piece of the group business: Hyatt puts its 2027 corporate group pace up almost 10%, and DiamondRock's group rates run more than 25% above 2019.
  • 03For planners with flexible dates, DiamondRock said Q1 2027 has the most room for additional group bookings, while its group pace is strongest in Q2 and Q3 2027 (and Q4 2026).

US solo travel plans jump to 23.6% in SiteMinder's 2027 guest survey

US solo travel plans jump to 23.6% in SiteMinder's 2027 guest survey

SiteMinder's Changing Traveler Report 2027 says 23.6% of US travelers plan their next trip solo, up from 14.4%. Globally, solo travelers skew toward standard rooms and last-minute booking, while US travelers overall report higher Deluxe expectations and stronger brand and loyalty pull. Hotels setting 2027 rate plans may need to test single-occupancy pricing and upgrade offers against their own booking data.

  • 01Nearly one in four US travelers (23.6%) plan to take their next trip alone, up from 14.4%, a 9.2-point swing that belongs in 2027 rate-plan and room-mix reviews.
  • 02Solo travelers worldwide choose a standard room 55% of the time, while 25.1% of American guests expect a Deluxe room; which habit US solo guests follow is the open question for single-occupancy pricing.
  • 03Loyalty still sways American chain guests (42.9% cite program benefits) even as that reason fell to 30.8% globally and memorable experiences climbed to 39.7%, so US loyalty playbooks may not travel abroad.

Accor’s channel beat Hard Rock’s own site at its New York hotel

Accor and Hard Rock International announced a global deal letting Hard Rock hotels opt into ALL Accor once it closes. In a New York test, Accor’s channel outproduced Hard Rock’s own site by July. Owners’ returns hinge on tracking channel and loyalty activity across both systems.

  • 01By July, Accor's channel was producing more room nights for Hard Rock Hotel New York than Hard Rock's own website, and more than 90% of those guests were new to Hard Rock.
  • 02Hard Rock keeps its own booking channels open, so a participating hotel can only judge the Accor channel if the original booking source survives date changes, cancellations and points refunds.
  • 03The points conversion rate and tier-matching rules are the next terms to watch. Marriott and MGM use a 10-to-8 transfer ratio with a 30,000-point annual cap, showing how detailed these links can get.
