Denver Hotel Market Outlook: Signs of Stabilization and Rate Recovery by 2026

After an early post-pandemic rebound, Denver’s hotel market lost momentum in late 2023. Occupancy growth stalled in October 2023 as the leisure surge faded and corporate travel recovery plateaued, followed by limited rate growth through much of 2024. Occupancy declined each month from September 2024 through August 2025, as corporate and transient demand softened and government transient and group demand declined more significantly this year.

San Francisco’s Hotel Investment Outlook Brightens

The San Francisco lodging market has been experiencing a major rebound in performance, with RevPAR up 8.9% as of year-to-date August. This improvement has been driven by a strong convention calendar, major employers implementing return-to-office mandates, and modest growth in tourism levels. San Francisco Travel Association anticipates Moscone Center will generate over 650,000 room nights in 2025, which equates to roughly 106.0% of 2023 levels but only 68.0% of peak 2019 performance. Salesforce, the city’s largest private employer, implemented a full return-to-office policy in January 2025. Gap, Inc. has been phasing in a return to office, increasing from two days a week in January to five days a week by the end of September 2025. The City of San Francisco has also implemented a four-day in-person mandate beginning August 2025.
