Hoteliers Welcome Fed's Second Rate Cut of the Year | | Hospitality Industry Launches Global Consultation on Sustainability Standards | | | | |
U.S. RevPAR -5.3% y/y last week; Weak headline results impacted by difficult hurricane y/y comparisons | | |
As Truist Securities wrote, "Overall, U.S. RevPAR was -5.3% y/y for the week ending 10/25/2025, per STR/CoStar, below the prior week's result of -0.7% y/y and below the trailing 10-week average of -1.7% y/y. Last week's results were impacted by a number of factors including: 1) Tough hurricane-related y/y comps. Economy RevPAR was -8.5% y/y, Houston was -13.5%; Miami was -10.3%, and Tampa was -29.0%. 2) Taylor Swift concerts in New Orleans last year (RevPAR -41.9% y/y). 3) Tough group comps including in Boston, Las Vegas, and San Diego. We estimate the above in aggregate represented ~400 bps of RevPAR impact. Beyond the above, there is continued customer bifurcation and group attrition. Upscale RevPAR: -5.5% y/y; Upper Midscale RevPAR: -5.0% y/y."
