As anticipated ahead of Halloween, U.S. hotel performance fell week over week, according to STR‘s latest data through 30 October.
24-30 October 2021 (percentage change from comparable week in 2019*):
- Occupancy: 58.9% (-5.7%)
- Average daily rate (ADR): US$127.70 (+1.5%)
- Revenue per available room (RevPAR): US$75.28 (-4.3%)
Even with a drop in performance levels from previous weeks, comparisons with the matching week in 2019 improved because Halloween that year fell on a Thursday and created a more significant disruption in business travel and groups.
Among the Top 25 Markets, Tampa saw the only occupancy increase over 2019 (+4.8% to 65.7%). The market also reported the largest increases in ADR (+18.2% to US$131.57) and RevPAR (+23.9% to US$86.43) when compared with 2019.
Oahu Island reported the steepest occupancy decline from 2019 (-42.2% to 46.5%)
The largest RevPAR deficits were in San Francisco/San Mateo (-49.6% to US$96.22) and Oahu Island (-46.6% to US$96.09).
*Due to the steep, pandemic-driven performance declines of 2020, STR is measuring recovery against comparable time periods from 2019.
