During this week, hotel occupancy across the U.S. reached 66.0%, marking a 1.0% increase from the corresponding week in the previous year.
The average daily rate (ADR) rose by 1.8% to $165.48, while revenue per available room (RevPAR) saw a 2.8% boost, climbing to $109.22. These gains suggest a steady recovery in the hospitality industry.
Anaheim and Chicago lead market improvements
Among the top 25 markets, Anaheim, California, recorded the most significant occupancy growth, with a 15.5% rise, bringing occupancy levels to 83.8%.
Chicago also demonstrated notable progress, achieving the largest increases in both ADR and RevPAR. The city’s ADR grew by 17.8% to $164.41, and RevPAR advanced by 21.8% to $107.71.
These improvements are partially attributed to events such as the ProMat 2025 conference held in Chicago during this period.
Washington, DC and Denver experience declines
Conversely, Washington, D.C., and Denver faced downturns in RevPAR. Washington, D.C.’s RevPAR declined by 17.8% to $133.35, while Denver experienced a 14.5% decrease, settling at $80.00.
The decline in Washington, D.C., is largely due to the absence of the Satellite 2024 conference, which took place during the same week in the previous year.
These figures reflect the ongoing fluctuations within the U.S. hotel industry, influenced by factors such as seasonal travel patterns, event scheduling, and broader economic conditions.
