The U.S. hotel industry reported positive year-over-year results in the three key performance metrics during the week of 17-23 November 2019, according to data from STR. 
In comparison with the week of 18-24 November 2018, the industry recorded the following:
- Occupancy: +17.7% to 61.2%
- Average daily rate (ADR): +10.8% to US$124.71
- Revenue per available room (RevPAR): +30.4% to US$76.32
STR analysts note the positive performance is due to the year-over-year comparison with the week of Thanksgiving in 2018.

Along with the Thanksgiving calendar shift, the high performance gains are also attributable to Dreamforce (19-22 November 2019), which welcomed approximately 170,000 attendees.
Washington, D.C.-Maryland-Virginia, recorded the second-highest rises in occupancy (+55.8% to 70.9%) and ADR (+48.0% to US$157.32), which resulted in the second-largest jump in RevPAR (+130.7% to US$111.49).
Denver, Colorado, saw the third-largest increase in RevPAR (+97.1% to US$95.21).
New Orleans, Louisiana, reported the only decline in RevPAR (-2.6% to US$88.86), due to the second-largest drop in ADR (-5.3% to US$136.29).
