Help AAHOA Tackle One of the Industry's Biggest Pain Points

 

At AAHOA, we consistently hear from our members that property insurance remains one of the most frustrating and costly challenges facing hotel owners today. In response, AAHOA is conducting research to better understand the scope of this issue across our membership – and explore ways the association might be able to support members in navigating it more effectively.


We're asking members to complete a brief form to authorize their insurance agent to share relevant property insurance information with AAHOA. All information will remain strictly confidential and will be used only by AAHOA as part of this research effort.


Your participation ensures that hotelier voices remain at the center of the conversation. If you have any questions, please contact us at insurance@aahoa.com.

U.S. RevPAR +0.8% y/y last week; Volatile day-to-day results given Easter shift & upcoming solar eclipse comps

As Truist Securities wrote, “Overall U.S. RevPAR was +0.8% y/y for the week ending 04/05/2025, per STR/CoStar, below the prior week's result of +7.0% y/y and below the trailing 10-week average of +1.5% y/y. Last week was impacted by the Easter calendar shift; last year's comp included Easter Sunday. The holiday depresses business travel on surrounding days, particularly groups. Easter is 4/20 in 2025 and was 3/31 in 2024. Upscale RevPAR: +0.7% y/y; Upper Midscale RevPAR: -1.8% y/y.”
