HENDERSONVILLE, Tennessee—U.S. hotel occupancy came in lower than the previous week but reached an all-time high on Christmas, according to STR‘s latest data through 25 December.
19-25 December 2021 (percentage change from comparable week in 2019*):
- Occupancy: 44.3% (-8.7%)
- Average daily rate (ADR): US$129.67 (+0.5%)
- Revenue per available room (RevPAR): US$57.46 (-8.3%)
Christmas day occupancy (47.2%) was just above the previous high from 2015 (47.0%).
While Omicron-related closures and service disruptions affected performance in New York City, overall U.S. occupancy was less impacted. A steeper decline from 2019 levels was due more to a calendar shift, as Christmas in 2019 fell on a Wednesday and allowed for an earlier return to non-holiday weekend levels that year.
While none of the Top 25 Markets recorded an occupancy increase over 2019, Dallas came closest to its 2019 comparable (-2.8% to 43.6%).
San Diego registered the largest ADR increase when compared with 2019 (+12.5% to US$147.05).
The largest RevPAR deficits were in San Francisco/San Mateo (-32.0% to US$65.66) and New York City (-30.0% to US$143.80).
*Due to the steep, pandemic-driven performance declines of 2020, STR is measuring recovery against comparable time periods from 2019.
