U.S. weekly hotel occupancy dipped slightly from the previous week, according to STR‘s latest data through 27 February.
21-27 February 2021 (percentage change from comparable week in 2020):
- Occupancy: 47.5% (-25.8%)
- Average daily rate (ADR): US$96.72 (-25.2%)
- Revenue per available room (RevPAR): US$45.90 (-44.5%)
The week-over-week decrease was the country’s first since late January. Florida, California, and New York reported the largest drops in demand. Texas, on the other hand, led the nation in room nights sold as hotels continued to house residents displaced by winter storm damage. The state’s occupancy reached a pandemic high of 57.3%, up a full point from the week prior.
Aggregate data for the Top 25 Markets showed slightly lower occupancy (45.0%) but higher ADR (US$102.49) than all other markets.
Among the Top 25 Markets, Miami saw the highest occupancy level (68.5%).
Top 25 Markets with the lowest occupancy levels for the week included Oahu Island (30.2%) and Minneapolis (30.8%).
