This article evaluates how full-service, select- and limited-service, and extended-stay hotels in the Kansas City metro market have performed across economic cycles. Our analysis highlights key differences in revenue potential, risk exposure, and recovery patterns to inform development and investment decisions.
U.S. hotel performance is posting notable gains compared with 2025 levels, as travel continues to be a priority for many despite persistent inflation, the Middle Eastern conflict, and longer security lines at airports. While luxury hotels are posting the greatest RevPAR gains, even economy and midscale hotels are showing occupancy improvement (as we expected).
Nestled among the iconic red rock formations of northern Arizona, Sedona is one of the most distinctive leisure destinations in the American Southwest. Over the past decade, Sedona’s hotel market has demonstrated remarkable resilience, supported by strong leisure demand, constrained hotel supply, and a reputation as a premium outdoor and wellness destination.
U.S. hotels had a difficult year in 2025, with RevPAR down 0.3%—the first non-recessionary decline on record. Conditions are improving, and 2026 appears to be a stabilization year. This playbook examines the pricing floor, segment performance variations, and PIP and debt maturity pressures. It also includes a “seller-readiness checklist” for timing a sale.
U.S. hotels began 2026 steadily, with flat occupancy and slightly higher ADR for January. As of February, HVS expects modest RevPAR growth in 2026 and stronger gains in 2027 and 2028. Cap rates are trending downward as more distressed assets sell, while transaction activity is slowly gaining momentum, supported by lower interest rates.
Park City is experiencing an unprecedented wave of residential and hotel development, driven by expanding ski infrastructure and growing year-round demand. This article places current lodging growth in context by comparing Park City’s hotel supply to that of other mature ski resorts, illustrating why the market remains well positioned to absorb additional inventory over time.
Hartford’s hotel market has demonstrated strong performance, with occupancy and ADR exceeding pre-pandemic levels. However, a significant decline in hotel room supply has hindered the convention center’s ability to attract large-scale events, underscoring the need for additional lodging to support long-term competitiveness.

The hotel sector in Minneapolis–St. Paul continues to evolve and recover from pre- and post-pandemic oversupply and demand changes. Leisure and event-driven travel have returned with renewed energy, but not yet at the scale needed to fully offset the region’s corporate travel losses.
Amidst great global geopolitical and economic uncertainty, Canadians showed their true “Elbows Up” resilience. The national hotel occupancy level cracked the 66% mark with close to 70 million occupied rooms across the country. This is a remarkable achievement, especially given that it was coupled with a 3.5% increase in average daily rates nationally, resulting in a 4.2% RevPAR uptick. The luxury segment saw the greatest lift in RevPAR at 8.7%, more than twice the national average.
