HENDERSONVILLE, Tennessee – The U.S. hotel industry reported mixed year-over-year results in the three key performance metrics during the week of 25-31 March 2018, according to data from STR.

Among the Top 25 Markets, Miami/Hialeah, Florida, reported the largest increase in RevPAR (+33.0% to US$259.47), due primarily to the highest lift in ADR (+26.9% to US$295.28).

Orlando, Florida, experienced the only double-digit increase in occupancy (+11.7% to 90.4%), which helped drive the highest jump in RevPAR (+23.8% to US$136.72).
