Sydney’s hotel sector continued to perform strongly in June, with rising rates, occupancy and revPAR.
According to the latest monthly data from STR Global, rising demand (+5.0%) for hotels in Sydney exceeded supply (+1.2%), pushing occupancy levels up 1.5% year-on-year, to 78.1%.
Hoteliers were also able to raise average daily rates (ADR) by 2.8%, to AU$187.50 (approximately US$175), which boosted revPAR (revenue per available room) by 4.3% to AU$146.20.
“Demand has continued to grow faster than supply since May 2013, resulting in a positive trend for overall occupancy performance,” said Elizabeth Winkle, managing director of STR Global.
“ADR growth remained strong, pushing revPAR to the highest level in 19 years, when STR Global began tracking hotel performance for the market.”
On a month-on-month basis however, Sydney’s occupancy dipped slightly, from the 80.5% recorded in May 2014, while ADR slipped from AU$191.50.
