Elise Capital Quarterly Journal: Q1 2025
Industry at a Glance
Five years ago, the world looked vastly different. As we navigated shifting times, the hotel industry was one of the most intriguing sectors of curiosity. Would it be resilient, or would it crumble under pressure? Fast forward to today, and the hotel industry has demonstrated remarkable resilience, proving its capacity to adapt and thrive.
In 2025, the hotel industry is expected to achieve an occupancy rate of 63.38%, bringing it very close to pre-pandemic levels. But that’s not all—the Average Daily Rate (ADR) has soared to new heights, continuing its upward trajectory with expectations to hit $162.16 in 2025, a $30 increase compared to 2019.
As demand for occupancy remains strong and rates continue to climb, Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR) has fully rebounded, nearly doubling since 2020. In 2025, RevPAR is projected to average $102.78, a clear sign that the hotel industry is not just surviving—it's thriving. With these solid fundamentals, the industry presents ample opportunities for investors looking to see substantial returns.
Elise Capital Impact
In Q1, Elise Capital was honored to be invited as a speaker at two of the largest hotel investment conferences: the American Lodging Investment Summit (ALIS) and the Hunter Hotel Investment Conference. At both events, we shared valuable insights on ownership outlooks in this dynamic time for the industry.
To kick off Women’s History Month, our CEO and Founder, Kendra Plummer, was recognized by Hotel Management Magazine as one of the most influential women in hospitality. This honor reflects Kendra's leadership and unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of success within the hotel sector.
