- Capital investments: San Antonio meeting space renovation completed on budget; San Diego project to begin in phases. Andaz Miami Beach ranks #8 on TripAdvisor, with transient bookings near 1,000/week target.

**【CFO Detailed Financials】**
- Q4 outlook: Mid-single-digit RevPAR growth (400-500bps from Andaz Miami). EBITDA near midpoint of range due to out-of-room spend offsetting moderate room revenue growth.
- Risks: Government shutdown impacting demand, though Q4 group pace remains strong. Liquidity and balance sheet strength provide resilience.

**【Q&A Highlights】**
- **Transaction Market**: Cautious optimism for 2026. Smaller deals more active, but larger transactions constrained by capital availability. Management focused on recycling lower-growth assets.
