Timing Is Everything: How a Calendar Shift Spiked Hotel Performance
For the week ending March 29, 2025, the U.S. hotel industry saw a healthy surge in performance metrics, with occupancy up 4.4% year-over-year, reaching 65.1%. Average Daily Rate (ADR) increased 2.5% to $161.65, and RevPAR jumped 7.0% to $105.19.
The Easter holiday’s earlier calendar placement played a key role in these numbers but not all markets benefited equally.
➤ St. Louis was the breakout leader, with a 27.0% increase in occupancy and a 47.0% jump in RevPAR, driven by regional events and family travel demand.
➤ Other top-performing markets included Orlando, Phoenix, and Nashville, each showing strong family and leisure-driven demand.
✦ FALLZ HOTELS™ Analysis: What Smart Operators Should Learn
At FALLZ HOTELS™, we don’t just observe RevPAR shifts, we decode them.
These performance gains reveal a powerful truth: calendar-sensitive strategy is still one of the most underutilized tools in hospitality. Here’s how hoteliers and investors can respond:
➤ Anticipate, Don’t React
Use event-based and calendar-triggered demand forecasts to shift rate strategy 4–8 weeks ahead of holiday periods—not just during them.
➤ Bundle and Target Smartly
Holiday weekends are ideal for family-friendly, multi-night packages with value-adds like breakfast, parking, or extended check-out. Hotels doing this are seeing higher booking windows and longer stays.
