Truist Securities reports, “Last week’s RevPAR was up against a +239.3% comparable result in 2021 vs. +311.1% in the prior week. On a 3-year run-rate (vs. 2019), RevPAR was +8.0% vs. +5.4% in the prior week’s 3-year run-rate. Compared against 2019, the Easter comparison, historically a sizable mover of results, is roughly neutral as Easter fell in the comparable week in 2019 vs. 2022. That said, we note strength in leisure vs. 2019 likely drove the week-over-week improvement vs. 2019. Upscale RevPAR: +52.1% y/y and -0.3% over 3 years; Upper Midscale RevPAR: +24.2% y/y and +6.2% over 3 years.”
