RevPAR

Calculate RevPAR and test the rate-versus-occupancy trade-off.

Beginner

Introduction

Who this is for: Hotel investors and operators measuring trading performance.

Why it matters: RevPAR combines rate and occupancy into one number, which is why the industry lives by it. Two hotels with identical RevPAR can have very different profitability — high-rate/low-occupancy is usually more profitable than the reverse, because variable costs follow occupancy.

Typical scenario: An operator considering a rate rise that may cost some occupancy, and needs to know the net effect.

Common mistakes:
  • Comparing RevPAR across markets without adjusting for cost base.
  • Chasing occupancy through discounting, which raises occupancy but can lower RevPAR and profit.
  • Using rack rate rather than achieved ADR.

Profit improves by more than revenue, because fewer occupied rooms means lower variable costs. This is the classic case for holding rate over chasing occupancy.
