Coronavirus Update 9/2/2021
STR: U.S. hotel results for week ending 28 August
U.S. hotel performance continued to decline from previous weeks, according to STR‘s latest data through 28 August. 
22-28 August 2021 (percentage change from comparable week in 2019*):

  • Occupancy: 61.0% (-8.4%)
  • Average daily rate (ADR): US$131.91 (+3.2%)
  • Revenue per available room (RevPAR): US$80.53 (-5.5%)   

Performance continues to reflect seasonality as well as the pandemic situation. Additionally, while data for 27-28 August showed a preliminary demand shift in the Gulf region, the impact of Hurricane Ida is expected to be more significant in future weeks of data. STR will provide Hurricane Ida analysis in the coming weeks.
