Q3 2023 Major U.S. Hotel Sales Survey

Notwithstanding a persistent jittery economic environment and rising global geopolitical concerns, market conditions in the U.S. appear simultaneously shaky and resilient. National lodging sector metrics, particularly average room rates and RevPAR, continue to achieve exceptional results as demand for travel and lodging remains robust.

Additionally, inbound international travel to the U.S. continues to recover.
