Lifted by spring break travel, U.S. hotel performance rose from the previous week and showed improved comparisons against 2019, according to STR‘s latest data through March 19.

March 13-19, 2022 (percentage change from comparable week in 2019*):

  • Occupancy: 66.9% (-3.7%)
  • Average daily rate (ADR): $151.63 (+13.6%)
  • Revenue per available room (RevPAR): $101.44 (+9.5%)

The weekly occupancy level was the highest since the week ending August 7, 2021, while ADR was the second highest for any week on record.

Among the Top 25 Markets, Miami showed the largest increase over 2019 in each of the three key performance metrics: occupancy (+3.1% to 87.8%), ADR (+39.2% to $348.95) and RevPAR (+43.5% to $306.49).

San Francisco/San Mateo experienced the largest occupancy decrease from 2019 (-29.9% to 60.2%).

The steepest RevPAR deficits were in San Francisco/San Mateo (-54.2% to $107.11) and Washington, D.C. (-24.5% to $93.23).

*Due to the pandemic impact, STR is measuring recovery against comparable time periods from 2019.
