Hotel Operators Say They’ve Lost $650 million in the Government Shutdown. They’re Calling for it to End. | | | | |
U.S. RevPAR -0.7% y/y last week; Headline results not so different from prior weeks, but many undercurrents | | |
As Truist Securities wrote, "Overall, U.S. RevPAR was -0.7% y/y for the week ending 10/18/2025, per STR/CoStar, below the prior week's result of +0.6% y/y and above the trailing 10-week average of -1.2% y/y. Last week's results were noisy due to several factors: y/y hurricane-related comps, Dreamforce conference in San Francisco, continued bifurcation in discretionary spend, Group occupancy weakness likely from attrition, and the holiday shift of Yom Kippur in last year's Saturday comp (the latter seemingly less impactful to results). Upscale RevPAR: -2.3% y/y; Upper Midscale RevPAR: -2.6% y/y."
