U.S. Hotel Performance Impacted by Moderate Summer Demand; Growth Forecast to Improve in Q4

 

 Rachael Rothman

Dallas, TX – Despite facing challenges from subdued summer demand and a sluggish third quarter, U.S. hotel performance is expected to reaccelerate in the fourth quarter and extend into 2025, according to CBRE’s latest forecast.

 

CBRE now forecasts a 0.5% increase in revenue per available room (RevPAR) growth for 2024, down from the previously estimated 1.2% in August.

 

This revision reflects a 40 basis point (bps) decrease in expected occupancy compared to the prior forecast, with occupancy anticipated to decline by 30 bps year-over-year.

 

The average daily rate (ADR) is expected to increase by 0.7%, a reduction of 40 bps from earlier projections. RevPAR growth is expected to reaccelerate beginning in Q4 2024, supported by recent interest rate cuts, easing inflation, and rising stock market trends.

Michael Nhu

“U.S. hotels performance was softer-than-expected during the summer months, partly due to Americans traveling overseas in record numbers. At the same time, the slow recovery in inbound international travel has created an imbalance in U.S. leisure demand,” said Rachael Rothman, Head of Hotel Research & Data Analytics for CBRE. “Despite this, continued improvements in group and business travel served as relative bright spots in the third quarter.”

In Q3 2024, hotel demand declined 0.1% year-over-year, coupled with a 0.6% increase in supply, resulting in an approximately 0.8% decline in occupancy. Modest ADR growth of 0.6% fell short of CBRE's previous expectation of 1.6%, leading to a 0.2% decrease in RevPAR for the quarter.

 

“The breakdown in the historical correlation between hotel demand and GDP growth continued into the third quarter, but we expect a normalization of this relationship due to interest rate cuts, lower CPI growth, and improving GDP indicators,” said Michael Nhu, Head of Global Hotels Forecasting for CBRE. “These trends are forecasted to strengthen the fundamentals of the U.S. hotel market, leading to reaccelerated RevPAR growth heading into 2025.”

Madeline Mordarski

MIAMI, FL  – The Keyes Company, Florida’s largest independent real estate firm, today unveiled a brand refresh in anticipation of its 100-year anniversary in February 2026. The rebrand includes a fresh tagline, logo, color palette, and partnerships, alongside significant investments in technology designed to enhance customer experience.

Keyes tapped the renowned branding agency Tiny Wins, whose clients include Tony Robbins, Visa, and CBRE, to guide the rebranding process. More than 30 focus groups and workshops with Keyes managers and associates provided crucial insights, reaffirming Keyes’ long-standing commitment to Florida’s communities.

Christina Pappas

“Our focus groups revealed that Keyes is often seen as ‘the best-kept secret’ in Florida real estate—a firm that radiates warmth and community, where real estate is truly at the heart of life,” said Madeline Mordarski, Chief Marketing Officer at Keyes. “This rebrand honors that legacy while uniting our team under one, strong identity that reflects who we are across Florida as we approach a century of service.”

Keyes President Christina Pappas echoed this sentiment, stating, “We are proud to introduce this new chapter of Keyes, blending modern tools with the care and compassion that have been our hallmark for nearly 100 years. In a real estate industry undergoing significant consolidation and standardization, we’re committed to staying true to our roots, emphasizing what is timeless: personal, hands-on service and operating on the belief that connection and community is at the heart of real estate.”

 

Mike Pappas

“Real estate is about people, not just transactions,” said Keyes CEO Mike Pappas. “That truth is at the heart of Keyes’ enduring legacy. We first opened our doors on Biscayne Boulevard in 1926, and have grown with Florida over the past century, always focused on providing the best for our neighbors. This rebranding underscores our commitment to staying rooted in community and connection as we prepare for the next century of service.”
