U.S. weekly hotel occupancy reached a 20-week high, according to STR‘s latest data through March 6.

Feb. 28 through March 6, 2021 (percentage change from comparable week in 2020):

  • Occupancy: 49.0% (-20.5%)
  • Average daily rate (ADR): US$98.30 (-21.9%)
  • Revenue per available room (RevPAR): US$48.13 (-37.9%)

While demand has improved in in many states, most markets remain deep in recessionary territory when indexed to 2019 levels. Year-over-year comparisons with 2020 are beginning to turn favorable as the country hits the one-year anniversary of its earliest pandemic restrictions. Additional insights on the week's performance can be found via STR's Market Recovery Monitor.

Aggregate data for the Top 25 Markets showed slightly lower occupancy (46.7%) but higher ADR (US$105.55) than all other markets.

Among the Top 25 Markets, Miami saw the highest occupancy level (66.6%).

Top 25 Markets with the lowest occupancy levels for the week included Oahu Island (30.9%) and Boston (31.7%).
