- Westin COEX: Parnas Hotel will reopen the Westin COEX, which had been closed for renovations. The year-long vacancy of the COEX Hotel reduced Parnas Hotel’s cash flow by 22%, but the reopening is expected to drive performance recovery through higher occupancy rates.

Americas
- U.S. Hotel Market Outlook: CoStar and Tourism Economics have downgraded their growth forecasts for the U.S. hotel market. Projections for OCC, ADR, and RevPAR for both 2025 and 2026 have been revised downward, with rising costs and shifting travel patterns cited as the main reasons.

Europe
- European Hotel Market Trends: In June 2025, the European hotel market posted generally weak RevPAR growth. This was attributed to a reverse base effect from major events in the previous year, such as the Champions League Final and UEFA Euro. However, Southern European countries such as Portugal, Spain, and Italy maintained solid performance thanks to beach accessibility and strong inbound demand from North America.
- Pullman Paris Montparnasse: A Bain Capital-led consortium has agreed to acquire the Pullman Paris Montparnasse hotel from URW. The consortium will purchase the 957-room property for EUR 300 million, with closing targeted by the end of the year.
