What is RevPAR?
RevPAR (Revenue per Available Room) is the single number that tells you how well a property is monetising the inventory it actually has on offer. It collapses both pricing power and demand into one metric, which is why almost every revenue review meeting in the industry begins with it.
Unlike ADR, which only counts the rooms you sold, RevPAR penalises empty rooms. That’s the point: a hotel with a strong nightly rate and an empty floor isn’t winning, and RevPAR is the metric that exposes it.
RevPAR formula
Formula
RevPAR = Total Room Revenue ÷ Available Rooms
Or
RevPAR = ADR × Occupancy %
- Total room revenue
- Income from sold rooms only (exclude tax, F&B, spa and ancillary).
- Available rooms
- Total sellable room-nights in the period (room count × days), excluding out-of-order rooms.
How to read your RevPAR
A RevPAR number on its own is meaningless. The lift is in the comparison. Track it against three benchmarks at minimum: last year same period, your forecast, and your competitive set (STR, OTA Insight, etc.).
When RevPAR moves, the diagnostic question is always the same: was it driven by ADR or by occupancy? A RevPAR lift that comes purely from occupancy and erodes ADR is rarely a sustainable win. It usually means you discounted into demand the market was going to deliver anyway.
Strategies to lift RevPAR
- Raise ADR on dates with strong pickup pace, instead of holding rate static into demand.
- Close low-yield rate plans (advance purchase, opaque, mobile) on shoulder dates that don’t need them.
- Reduce cancellations and no-shows with non-refundable rates and pre-stay confirmation flows.
- Recover abandoned direct bookings via on-site exit triggers before the OTA wins them.
- Open longer-stay restrictions on high-demand dates so each booking is worth more.
- Yield package and add-on availability instead of treating them as static catalogue items.
RevPAR vs ADR vs Occupancy
ADR tells you what you charged. Occupancy tells you how full you were. RevPAR fuses them. If you only watch one, watch RevPAR, but you need all three on the same screen to know which lever to pull.
A high ADR with low occupancy may mean you’re over-restricting access or over-pricing for the segment. A high occupancy with weak ADR may mean you’re selling out too early at last week’s rate. RevPAR is the symptom; ADR × Occupancy is the diagnosis.
Common questions about RevPAR.
There is no universal benchmark. A "good" RevPAR depends on your market, star category, segment mix and seasonality. The number that matters is your RevPAR vs your forecast, vs last year, and vs your competitive set, not vs the industry average.
