How we verify

Operators submit a PMS statement showing the unit's full-year 2025 revenue. The STR Club assesses the figures against its market experience and against AirDNA / PriceLabs benchmarks for the same building or community. Where a number looks implausible against market data, the operator is asked to clarify before the entry advances.

How we pick the winner

Highest documented full-year 2025 net revenue wins each sub-category. Tie-breaker: highest gross revenue, then highest ADR. One operator may win more than one sub-category.
