HENDERSONVILLE, Tennessee – The U.S. hotel industry reported positive year-over-year results in the three key performance metrics during the week of 5-11 November 2017, according to data from STR.

In comparison with the week of 6-12 November 2016, the industry recorded the following:

  • Average daily rate (ADR): +4.8% to US$128.92
  • Revenue per available room (RevPAR): +10.0% to US$88.26

According to STR analysts, performance growth for the week was lifted due to a comparison with the week that included Election Day in 2016.

Among the Top 25 Markets, San Francisco/San Mateo, California, reported the largest increase in RevPAR (+60.2% to US$297.04), due primarily to the largest lift in ADR (+54.7% to US$331.87).
