NYC’s Hotel Forecast: Continued Strength Thru 2019

New York City’s hotel industry continues to show strong fundamentals, according to CBRE, although the firm is forecasting a drop-off in RevPAR increases next year. CBRE projects a citywide RevPAR increase of 3.5% for 2018 and 0.8% for 2019.

Along similar lines, CBRE Hotels Research predicts slightly lower occupancy rates and ADR increases for 2019. ADR is expected to increase by 2.9% this year and 1.8% next year, while the occupancy rate will dip slightly from 2018’s 87.1% to 86.3%.

“New York City continues to be the world’s go-to tourist and business destination, and, as a result, the hotel market remains one of the strongest in the country,” said New York-based Mark VanStekelenburg of CBRE Hotels.

“Our forecasts show a projected increase in both supply and demand throughout 2019, which is on par with the positive economic and tourism outlook.” That applies as well to the national picture, CBRE said.
