In 2019, New York City had the highest hotel occupancy rate in the country at 86%. However, in the year of the pandemic, that figure tumbled 39 percentage points to 47%.[1]
Overall, among the top 25 travel markets in the nation, occupancy rates fell from 74% in 2019 to 44% in 2020.[1]
Between January and November, Tampa and St. Petersburg had the highest occupancy rate at 51%. The low point in the year came in April when the cities’ hotels had an occupancy rate of just 22%. However, the numbers improved month-by-month after that.[1]
Tampa-St. Pete’s 51% occupancy rate was followed closely by Phoenix, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Norfolk/Virginia Beach. All of those markets enjoyed 50% occupancy rates.[1]
