U.K. hotel sector rallies in second half of 2025: Knight Frank

🏨 The U.K. hotel sector in 2025 showed resilience, with a strong recovery in the second half after a challenging start. London saw an 82.5% occupancy rate, up by 1.2 percentage points.

March: Budget segments declined, while the luxury market remained resilient, especially in Eastern Europe. April: Leisure destinations saw volume-driven RevPAR increases, though pricing stayed cautious. May: Secondary markets showed robust growth, challenging traditional leaders. June: Anticipated high season exposed pricing fatigue, highlighting market variability.

RevPAR vs. NetRevPAR: Why Your Most Popular Metric is Misleading

💸 In the hotel industry, RevPAR has long been the key performance metric, but it overlooks the cost of acquiring guests. Case in point: A $200 Booking.com reservation nets $160 after commissions, while a $180 direct booking nets $176, being 10% more profitable. NetRevPAR, which factors in Customer Acquisition Costs, offers a clearer profitability perspective. Automated tools like Demand Calendar streamline this analysis, helping hotels shift from volume-focused to profit-driven strategies.
