U.S. hotel performance increased from the previous week, according to STR‘s latest data through December 11.

December 5-11, 2021 (percentage change from comparable week in 2019*):

  • Occupancy: 57.4% (-4.8%)
  • Average daily rate (ADR): $128.35 (+2.3%)
  • Revenue per available room (RevPAR): $73.73 (-2.7%)

Among the Top 25 Markets, Norfolk/Virginia Beach saw the only occupancy increase over 2019 (+4.2% to 55.2%).

Of note, New York City reported the highest weekly occupancy level (81.5%) of any STR-defined U.S. market. NYC’s occupancy level was 13.0% lower than the 2019 comparable.

San Francisco/San Mateo experienced the steepest occupancy decline from 2019 (-32.7% to 59.8%).

Miami registered the largest ADR increase when compared with 2019 (+30.1% to $229.34).

The largest RevPAR deficits were in San Francisco/San Mateo (-53.2% to $106.83) and Washington, D.C. (-32.6% to $69.23).

*Due to the steep, pandemic-driven performance declines of 2020, STR is measuring recovery against comparable time periods from 2019.
