U.S. hotel performance data for the week ending 8 August showed slightly higher occupancy and room rates from the previous week, according to STR.

  • Average daily rate (ADR): US$100.88 (-24.9%)
  • Revenue per available room (RevPAR): US$50.37 (-49.4%)

Norfolk/Virginia Beach, Virginia, was the only one of those major markets to reach a 60% occupancy level (66.9%).

Three additional markets reached or surpassed 50% occupancy: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-New Jersey (58.5%); Detroit, Michigan (52.5%); and San Diego, California (51.1%).
