These improvements are partially attributed to events such as the ProMat 2025 conference held in Chicago during this period. ​

Washington, DC and Denver experience declines

Conversely, Washington, D.C., and Denver faced downturns in RevPAR. Washington, D.C.’s RevPAR declined by 17.8% to $133.35, while Denver experienced a 14.5% decrease, settling at $80.00.

The decline in Washington, D.C., is largely due to the absence of the Satellite 2024 conference, which took place during the same week in the previous year. ​

These figures reflect the ongoing fluctuations within the U.S. hotel industry, influenced by factors such as seasonal travel patterns, event scheduling, and broader economic conditions.
