– In 2015, hotel spa department revenue grew at a faster pace compared to other
sources of hotel revenue. According to the recently released 2016 edition of Trends® in the Hotel Spa
Industry, U.S. hotel spa departments were able to increase their revenue by
5.6 percent from 2014 to 2015.
This compares favorably to
a 3.3 percent rise in rooms revenue for the properties in the survey sample,
and a 5.5 percent increase in total hotel revenue. This is the first time since
the 2007 edition of the publication that spa revenue growth surpassed rooms
revenue growth.
“CBRE Hotels’ Americas
Research is projecting modest gains in rooms revenue for the next few years as
the U.S. lodging industry operates at the top of the business cycle,” said Mark VanStekelenburg, managing director
of the CBRE Hotels practice in New York City. “Therefore, hotel operators will
need to look at other operated departments, like the spa, in order to
accelerate the growth of total hotel revenue.
“Health and wellness is
becoming an increasingly important component of everyday life. Though historically considered as an
exclusively high-end hotel amenity, the integration of health and travel is now
expected, at almost all hotels,” VanStekelenburg added.
In 2015, spa revenue grew
more robustly than total hotel revenue at both urban and resort hotels, as well
as hotels with more than $1 million in spa revenue. Spa operations with less
than $1million in sales were the only properties where spa revenue growth lagged
behind the increase in total hotel revenues.
CBRE Hotels has surveyed
the profitability of U.S. hotel spa performance for ten years. The annual
review compiles revenue and expense items within spas operated by U.S. hotels.
Not included in the survey are hotel spa operations that are leased to an outside
party, day spas or destination spa properties.
