Summary
64.8% occupancy in the week ended May 9 marked a drop from 66.5% a week earlier, while average daily rate fell to $165.75 and RevPAR to $107.44.
Year over year, the same metrics still improved: occupancy rose 0.3 percentage points, ADR gained 1.7%, and RevPAR increased 2% from the comparable 2025 week.
Miami led major markets on event-driven pricing strength, with ADR up 17.8% to $267.40 and RevPAR up 22.7% to $202.29, helped by the Miami Grand Prix and the Consensus conference.
Chicago posted the biggest occupancy gain among the top 25 markets, up 7.3% to 75.2%, while Boston logged the only double-digit occupancy drop and Tampa saw the sharpest ADR and RevPAR declines.
The mixed early-May reading suggests national hotel demand softened from the prior week even as pricing and revenue remained modestly ahead of last year.
