RLJ Lodging Trust (NYSE:RLJ) Average Occupancy Rate % Explanation
Average Occupancy Rate % is the percentage of occupied rooms to the total amount of available rooms in the hotel at a given time. It is one of the most high-level indicators of the hotel business, providing an indication of anticipated cash flows.
For hotel business, a higher occupancy rate is better. Hotels with low occupancy rates often have worse profitability than similar properties with high occupancy rates, since they have to spend time and money to find additional guests and face the risk of not making money but still having to pay maintenance costs and taxes. In some cases, a low occupancy rate indicates inefficient hotel management.
Applying length of stay (LOS) restrictions is the best way to increase the occupancy rate. Hotels can also improve their occupancy rate by improving the service or investing in advertisement. However, the occupancy rate is also decided by the location of the hotel and the season.
