Bogotá, Colombia

  • Occupancy: +3.1% to 69.6%
  • ADR: +2.5% to COP270,787.81
  • RevPAR: +5.7% to COP188,469.30

After three consecutive months of occupancy declines, Bogotá hotels experienced an increase in occupancy that was driven by a 7.6% jump in demand (room nights sold).

São Paulo

  • Occupancy: +2.5% to 71.3%
  • ADR: +10.0% to BRL385.77
  • RevPAR: +12.8% to BRL274.89

São Paulo hotels have now posted 16 consecutive months of ADR growth. The absolute value in the metric was also the highest for any November in STR's São Paulo database. STR analysts partially attribute the jump in rates to the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. dollar.
