Boston, MA, Oct. 21, 2013– While U.S. hotel guests are
curbing their appetite for hotel restaurants and room service, they appear to
be expressing a desire for pampering and wellness.

For the second
consecutive year, hotel spa revenues and profits have increased at a pace
greater than other non-rooms department sources of hotel revenue.
According to the recently released 2013 edition of PKF
Consulting USA, LLC’s (PKFC) Trends® in the Hotel Spa Industry report, spa
department revenue increased by 5.0 percent at the properties in the survey
sample.
For reference purposes, this
compares favorably to the 2.3 percent increase in food and beverage revenue,
the second largest source of revenue for most hotel.
“Due to its
historical stigma as a luxurious amenity, spa revenue initially lagged behind
the growth of other revenue sources during the early stages of the recovery,”
said Andrea Foster, vice president and national director of spa and
wellness consulting for PKFC.
“However, the 2012 increase in spa revenue is a trend we
anticipated would occur. There has been
a notable focus shift to wellness, specifically taking better care of ourselves
for improved health and quality of life, of which spas are an important part.”
