LARC 3Q-2022 U.S. Lodging Industry Outlook

We will walk through our current outlook and discuss some highlights of our U.S. Market forecasts.

LARC has released its latest Market Intelligence Reports for 47 markets under current coverage and the U.S. overall.

LARC expects U.S. RevPAR to increase by 27.4% to $91.53 in 2022, resulting in an annual RevPAR 6% above 2019 levels. The recovery is driven by continued strength in ADR. LARC anticipates ADR to rise by 19.7% this year to $149.23, or 14% above 2019 levels. With occupancy expected to increase 6.4% in 2022 to 61.3%, LARC has a more conservative view of the demand recovery. LARC expects occupancy to peak this cycle in 2024 at 64.0%, well below 2019 levels of 66.1%.

For 2022, LARC also anticipates U.S. Hotel EBITDA to grow by nearly 65% and hotel values to increase 10%. We believe values will recover to 2019 levels this year and Hotel EBITDA by 2023.
