Resort Model Efficiency 2024
RevPAR development fell to 1.5% between 2018 and 2023 from 3% between 2013 and 2018. On condition that year-to-date 2024 RevPAR development is decrease than it was a yr in the past, this slowdown is extra reflective of accelerating competitors from different lodging sources fairly than a lagging pandemic restoration.
Govt Abstract
- Slowing RevPAR development and maturation of the U.S. lodge business are driving model proliferation to draw new prospects. The typical variety of manufacturers per model household tracked by CBRE elevated to 25 in 2023 from 13 in 2013.
- RevPAR development fell to 1.5% between 2018 and 2023 from 3% between 2013 and 2018. On condition that year-to-date 2024 RevPAR development is decrease than it was a yr in the past, we consider this slowdown is extra reflective of accelerating competitors from different lodging sources fairly than a lagging pandemic restoration.
- To maximise income, house owners and builders should choose a horny chain scale and an outperforming model. Choosing a model that outperforms the common has turn into more and more troublesome. Solely 30% of manufacturers delivered above-average RevPAR development over the previous 5 years, down from the 52% of manufacturers with above-average RevPAR from 2013 to 2018.
- A sequence scale doesn’t decide RevPAR efficiency; there may be a variety of efficiency amongst manufacturers. Over the previous 5 years, the top-performing manufacturers outperformed their lagging chain scale counterparts by as a lot as 79%. Assuming a flow-through a number of of 1.5x to 2.0x from revenues to GOP, this suggests as much as 160percentincremental revenue efficiency.
- Between 2013 and 2023, solely 26% of the same-store manufacturers on this evaluation generated RevPAR development above inflation. Between 2018 and 2023, largely as a consequence of excessive inflation ranges starting in 2021, solely 3% of those manufacturers boasted RevPAR above inflation. Even when inflation had remained under 2% over the previous 5 years, 70% of those manufacturers would nonetheless have lagged inflation with a mean RevPAR development of simply 1.3%.
- Higher-midscale chains have been the very best performers over each five-year intervals examined. Free breakfast, sturdy model recognition, no resort charges and the flexibility to draw friends who commerce each up and down have elevated the attraction of select-service accommodations.
Model Development & Advantages
The six giant model households tracked by CBRE for this report elevated their variety of manufacturers to 25 from 13 between 2013 and 2023, leading to a compound annual development charge of seven%.
The advantages of brand name affiliations for lodge builders and house owners embody favorable administration agreements, mezzanine financing, price efficiencies by bulk provider contracts, key cash and entry to a rising variety of loyalty members. All of those will help assist occupancy and decrease buyer acquisition prices.
Slower RevPAR Development
Regardless of a return to pre-pandemic ranges for many manufacturers, general RevPAR development has slowed over the previous 5 years because the lodge business matured and types proliferated. For this report, we analyzed key efficiency indicators of fifty lodge manufacturers for every year between 2013 and 2023.
Evaluating the 5 years from 2013 to 2018 with the latest five-year interval (2018 to 2023), RevPAR development fell by half to 1.5% from 3.0%. Whereas among the slowdown could possibly be an indication of the business’s maturation, aggressive encroachment from short-term leases may additionally clarify among the deceleration. Brief-term leases’ share of complete room nights has greater than doubled since 2018 to over 16%, limiting common each day charge (ADR) and occupancy development for accommodations.
Fewer manufacturers are retaining tempo with the general common RevPAR efficiency, with simply 30% exceeding the common over the previous 5 years. Seventy p.c underperformed the common in contrast with simply 48% within the earlier five-year interval.

Between 2013 and 2023, solely 26% of the same-store manufacturers on this evaluation generated RevPAR development above inflation. Between 2018 and 2023, that fell to simply 3% of manufacturers as a consequence of historic ranges of inflation. Even when inflation had remained under 2% over the previous 5 years, 70% of manufacturers would nonetheless have lagged inflation with common RevPAR development of simply 1.3%.
Determine 2: Inflation vs. RevPAR Development, 2018 to 2023

When evaluating the 2 five-year intervals, luxurious was the one chain scale with accelerating RevPAR development (1.6% vs. 1.3%). Luxurious additionally was the one chain scale with greater room development between the 2 five-year intervals (2.4% vs. 1.7%), which could possibly be contributing to stronger top-line development as extra properties stabilize post-opening.
RevPAR development for upper-upscale chains dropped to 0.6% between 2018 and 2023 from 2.6% between 2013 and 2018. The sluggish restoration of enterprise transient journey and stagnant tempo of return to workplace could have contributed to the deceleration in development.
Higher-midscale chains have been the very best performers over each five-year intervals. Free breakfast, sturdy model recognition, the dearth of resort charges and the flexibility to seize friends who each commerce up and commerce down have elevated the attraction of select-service accommodations. For upper-midscale chains, though development slowed to 2.1% between 2018 and 2023 from 3.9% between 2013 and 2018, RevPAR development for this chain scale nonetheless outperformed the same-store pattern over all intervals.
For the 19 upper-midscale and upscale manufacturers we tracked, upper-midscale outpaced upscale RevPAR development by 140 foundation factors yearly over the previous 5 years. The RevPAR premium for upscale chains relative to upper-midscale chains fell by 24% to $17 in 2023 from $22 in 2018. The outperformance may outcome from variations within the energy of the manufacturers in every class or the attractiveness of the lower cost level to friends.
RevPAR for the upper-midscale chains has additionally strengthened relative to midscale chains. The hole in RevPAR between the 2 chain scales widening by almost 28% since 2018, suggesting that friends are keen to pay the $41 premium for what they understand as incremental worth.
Over the previous 5 years, midscale chains have skilled minimal room development from legacy manufacturers as elevated financing and building prices hampered the profitability of latest building. RevPAR fell by 0.1% between 2018 and 2023, in contrast with the two.6% development within the earlier 5 years. These legacy manufacturers could have been hindered by the launch of newer midscale manufacturers.
Economic system chain RevPAR development charge fell to 1.0% between 2018 and 2023 from 1.9% between 2013 and 2018. The RevPAR efficiency is probably going buoyed by the survivorship bias created by the numerous contraction within the variety of rooms during the last 5 years down 10.8% in complete. This contraction in rooms could have been brought on by the pandemic or conversion to different makes use of, given the 2023 RevPAR for our economic system chain scale knowledge set was solely $35.
Selecting the Proper Model
Selecting the best model inside every chain scale can have sizable monetary penalties. For instance, the distinction in annual RevPAR development between the strongest and weakest upper-midscale manufacturers over the previous 5 years was 5.2 share factors, leading to a virtually 39% or $63 cumulative outperformance for the top-performing model.
The cumulative premiums of the luxurious and upscale chains have been even greater at 79% and 74%, respectively. Nonetheless, this outperformance can’t be attributed to a distinction in RevPAR ranges, because the RevPAR hole between the strongest and weakest manufacturers was $3 for luxurious chains and $11 for upscale chains.
Over 10 years, the efficiency hole amongst upper-midscale, upscale and luxurious manufacturers is narrower, indicating that the distinction in efficiency between the weakest and strongest manufacturers has widened over the previous 5 years.

Prolonged-Keep & Restricted-Service Outperform Full-Service Manufacturers
Prolonged-stay has been a preferred phase amongst lodge builders since 2013, growing room depend by 6.1%—almost thrice the pattern common development charge. Whereas extended-stay RevPAR development fell to 2.1% between 2018 and 2023 from 3.9% between 2013 and 2018, it remained greater than the same-store development charge of all manufacturers. Homeowners and builders seem to more and more favor extended-stay over limited-service accommodations due to decrease prices, regardless of the same RevPAR development charge for each segments.
Restricted-service manufacturers have persistently crushed full-service for RevPAR development over each comparability intervals. Previously 5 years, RevPAR development for the limited-service manufacturers was 4 instances that of the full-service group.
Full-service city accommodations underperformed the general group common, with RevPAR development falling to 0.5% between 2018 and 2023 from 2.2% in the course of the earlier 5 years. With the sluggish restoration of enterprise transient journey and workplace attendance, full-service accommodations have been the final phase to recuperate to pre-pandemic ranges. One-third of the manufacturers on this phase haven’t but returned to 2019 ranges, in keeping with broader traits within the same-store group.

Earlier than affiliating with a lodge model, consideration should be given to the efficiency and repute of all different manufacturers throughout the chosen model household. Ranked by RevPAR development, the highest three model households have been the identical for each five-year intervals.
RevPAR development charges have just lately slowed for all model households. The change in the usual deviation inside model household RevPAR development was combined when evaluating the 2 five-year intervals. The larger the usual deviation in model efficiency inside one household, the much less doubtless it’s that the model will carry out at or above the common.
Determine 6: RevPAR Development by Model
Supply: Alternative, Hilton, Hyatt, IHG Resorts & Resorts, Marriott, Wyndham public filings.
Over the previous 10 years, the strongest-performing model household had RevPAR development of two.7% vs. 0.3% for the weakest-performing model household. On a cumulative foundation, the strongest model household outperformed by almost 27% between 2013 and 2023. Since these two model households had RevPAR lower than $6 aside, we’d not attribute the RevPAR development distinction to a variance in chain scale.
Model efficiency shouldn’t be the one metric that an proprietor ought to contemplate when choosing a model. Others embody a model’s contribution to occupancy, charges, the energy of a model household’s loyalty program and the efficiency of the opposite manufacturers within the model household. Nonetheless, slight variances in RevPAR efficiency can have an outsized affect on returns over the lifetime of an asset.
