U.S. economic growth improved during 2Q-2024 with Real GDP having risen 2.8%, well above the 1.4% increase achieved in 1Q-2024. A strong U.S. economy fueled a national 2.5% RevPAR increase, an acceleration from the 0.0% RevPAR change during 1Q-2024. However, 2Q2024 performance was aided by an earlier than normal Easter observance as well as the rare total solar eclipse that occurred over a large swath of the nation in April.
After three months of year-over-year growth, U.S. RevPAR was flat (0.0%) compared with last July. The result was due to falling occupancy (-0.5%), which was not offset by a small gain (+0.5%) in ADR. The Top 25 Markets saw some growth (+0.5%), but the increase did not rise to the level of Q2 and was not enough to erase decreases in the remaining markets (-0.4%). Chain scale results remained bifurcated with the upper tier (Luxury, Upper Upscale and Upscale) posting gains of 1.6% and the remaining chains scales falling by the same amount in aggregate.
