fact
RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) = ADR × Occupancy %; it is the primary top-line KPI for hotel performance comparisonsfact
TRevPAR (Total Revenue Per Available Room) extends RevPAR to include F&B, spa, parking, resort fees, and ancillary spend — the preferred KPI for full-service and resort propertiesfact
GOPPAR (Gross Operating Profit Per Available Room) measures net profitability after departmental and undistributed operating expenses; a healthy full-service hotel targets GOPPAR ≥ 30% of TRevPARfact
NRevPAR (Net RevPAR) deducts OTA commissions and distribution costs from RevPAR; shifting 20% of OTA bookings to direct can add >$19,000/year net for a 100-room hotel at 70% occupancyfact
OTA commissions for Booking.com and Expedia typically run 15–25% of room revenue; some market segments see effective rates near 30% with added visibility programsfact
RGI (RevPAR Generation Index) compares a hotel's RevPAR to its comp set average; RGI > 100 means outperforming, < 100 means underperforming the marketfact
MPI (Market Penetration Index) = hotel occupancy ÷ comp set occupancy × 100; below 100 means giving up occupancy share to competitorsfact
ARI (Average Rate Index) = hotel ADR ÷ comp set ADR × 100; consistently above 100 signals brand pricing power or superior positioningfact
STR (now CoStar) provides weekly STAR Report comp-set benchmarking for occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR; most revenue managers review the Thursday STAR Report on Friday morningfact
US upscale hotel RevPAR benchmark for 2026 is $105–$145; luxury properties typically exceed $230; select-service midscale targets $55–$80fact
MinLOS (Minimum Length of Stay) restrictions prevent selling a shoulder night at discount when adjacent peak nights are at capacity; Booking.com allows MinLOS of 2–31 nightsfact
CTA (Closed to Arrival) restrictions block new arrivals on a specific date without blocking stays through that date — used for high-demand single nights surrounded by soft demandfact
Open Pricing (pioneered by Duetto) decouples room type and channel rates from a single BAR ladder, allowing independent price optimization per segment simultaneouslyfact
IDeaS G3 RMS and Duetto dominate enterprise hotel revenue management; Atomize and RoomPriceGenie serve independent and boutique properties with automated AI pricingfact
GDS channels (Sabre, Amadeus, Galileo) serve primarily corporate travel; GDS rates carry a $3–$7/transaction distribution fee and are essential for capturing managed-travel demandfact
Rate parity clauses require hotels to display the same rate across all public channels; Booking.com and Expedia loosened strict parity in EU following antitrust scrutiny but retain soft-parity provisionsfact
Booking window varies by segment: corporate transient books 7–14 days out; leisure peaks at 21–30 days; group blocks are confirmed 6–18 months aheadfact
Displacement analysis quantifies whether accepting a group room block will displace higher-rated transient business; accept only when group NRevPAR + ancillary exceeds projected transient NRevPARfact
F&B capture rate — percentage of room guests who spend in the hotel restaurant or bar — averages 20–35% in full-service hotels; improving this is the fastest path to TRevPAR growthfact
US business-district hotels peak Tuesday–Wednesday night; resort properties peak Friday–Saturday; revenue managers apply weekday-specific BAR ladders accordinglyfact
Pick-up pace (new reservations booked per day toward a future date) compared to the same time last year is the primary short-term demand signal for rate adjustmentsfact
Last room value (LRV) is the minimum acceptable rate for the last available room on a date; setting LRV too low during high demand is one of the most common revenue management errorsfact
Loyalty program discounts (Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, IHG One Rewards) allow rate deviation from parity for members, providing a cost-effective direct channel conversion leverfact
Metasearch platforms (Google Hotel Ads, TripAdvisor, Trivago) blend OTA and direct rates; winning the direct rate click requires matching OTA prices plus a clear booking benefitfact
Forecast accuracy target for 30-day-out occupancy: ±3–5 percentage points is industry standard; models consistently above ±8% indicate a need to recalibrate demand inputsfact
Overbooking strategy is calculated as expected no-shows + cancellations minus expected walk-in demand; over-walking a guest costs the hotel the walked-rate, one comp night, and a taxi — typically $250–$600 totalfact
Cancellation policy tightening to 48–72 hours non-refundable reduces last-minute cancellation windows and improves forecast accuracy during high-demand periodsfact
Event demand (citywide conventions, sports events, concerts) can spike local ADR 2–5x; revenue managers should load events 12–18 months ahead into the RMS to capture early-booking demandfact
CPOR (Cost Per Occupied Room) variable cost benchmark: select-service hotel targets $25–$45 CPOR; full-service hotel ranges $80–$150 CPOR, directly affecting GOPPARfact
AI-driven RMS re-prices room types every 15 minutes using live pickup data, competitor scrapes, and weather/event signals in 2026 memory entity tag
