CBRE Hotel Brand Performance 2024 Report: Navigating Slower RevPAR Growth to Make Strategic Brand Selections

Slowing RevPAR growth and maturation of the U.S. hotel industry are driving brand proliferation to attract new customers. The average number of brands per brand family tracked by CBRE increased to 25 in 2023 from 13 in 2013. RevPAR growth fell to 1.5% between 2018 and 2023 from 3% between 2013 and 2018. Given that year-to-date 2024 RevPAR growth is lower than it was a year ago, we believe this slowdown is more reflective of increasing competition from alternative lodging sources rather than a lagging pandemic recovery. To maximize profits, owners and developers must pick an attractive chain scale and an outperforming brand. Selecting a brand that outperforms the average has become increasingly difficult. Only 30% of brands delivered above-average RevPAR growth over the past five years, down from the 52% of brands with above-average RevPAR from 2013 to 2018.
