Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc., formed in November 2007 as a Virginia corporation, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the ?Company?), is a self-advised real estate investment trust (?REIT?) that invests in income-producing real estate, primarily in the lodging sector, in the United States (?U.S.?). The Company's fiscal year end is December 31. The Company has no foreign operations or assets, and its operating structure includes only one reportable segment. Although the Company has interests in potential variable interest entities through its purchase commitments, it is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have any elements of power in the decision-making process of these entities; therefore, the Company does not consolidate the entities. As of March 31, 2024, the Company owned 224 hotels with an aggregate of 29,886 guest rooms located in 37 states and the District of Columbia (?D.C.?). The Company's common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (?NYSE?) under the ticker symbol ?APLE.?
