It’s Time to Re-Evaluate Hotel Performance Metrics, Says HVS
HVS | March 7, 2023
07 March 2023, London: Hotel operators need to learn to manage the entire building they operate and start thinking of performance in terms of the total revenue or profit per available square metre, giving a more accurate assessment of the property’s success. This is the conclusion of a new report from global hotel consultancy HVS, which considers the limitations of various hotel performance indices used in the hotel sector as a benchmark for hotel investment, for property valuations and for analysing operating success. The most widely used performance index is Rooms Revenue per Available Room [RevPAR] which, HVS says, can be a usef...
A Super, Super Bowl LVII in the Valley
Zabada Abouelhana | March 6, 2023
By Zabada N. Abouelhana On February 12, Super Bowl LVII was held in Glendale’s State Farm Stadium with nearly 68,000 spectators. Attendance levels were just below the average for the last eight Super Bowls (excluding the COVID-19-affected year of 2021) and below the 2015 game’s 70,288 attendees, also in Phoenix. However, this year’s event did not disappoint the hotel industry in Greater Phoenix. Prior to the weekend, STR forecasted Phoenix’s Super Bowl weekend performance: 94% occupancy levels at $445 average rates, equating to $419 revenue per available room (RevPAR)—the second-highest levels for a Super Bowl weekend in hi...
Phoenix Hotels Scored Second-Highest Super Bowl Weekend ADR and RevPAR
STR | February 28, 2023
As forecasted, Phoenix’s hotel industry ranked second all-time among Super Bowl host markets in average daily rate (ADR) and revenue per available room (RevPAR) during the weekend of the big game. While the market’s rankings were as forecasted, the values that produced that status were different than projected. ADR ($538) and RevPAR ($468) beat forecasts, while occupancy (86.9%) was lower. When adjusting for inflation (real), Phoenix’s ADR and RevPAR were easily all-time highs for the market. The real RevPAR value dipped to third among Super Bowl hosts behind Miami (2020) and New Orleans ($482). This year’s big game too...

STR | February 23, 2023
The top hotel markets in this edition of STR’s U.S. “bubble” chart update show the persistent staying power of warm, outdoor-oriented markets as well as expected seasonal shifts for the opening months of the year.

Cautious Optimism in India’s Hotel Performance Recovery
STR | February 22, 2023
India’s hotel industry turned in a stellar 2022 with revenue per available room (RevPAR) 100% recovered to pre-pandemic levels even with a devastating start to the year caused by a surge in the Omicron variant. Steeper declines, sharper inclines Recovery of RevPAR was more driven by average daily rate (ADR), which indexed at 108 when compared with 2019 levels. However, occupancy recovery was strong as well with an index of 93. Overall, the full recovery of RevPAR means indexing won’t be needed much longer as year-over-year percentage changes become actionable again once the calendar is beyond the Omicron comparables. ...
