A hotel has 80 rooms available for 365 days in a year. Room-nights occupied were 21,900 and total revenue from rooms was $2,190,000. What is the revenue per available room-night (RevPAR) and the occupancy rate?

RevPAR is $75 and occupancy is 75%. Available room-nights are 29,200, so occupancy is 21,900 divided by 29,200, or 75%, and revenue of $2,190,000 divided by available room-nights gives $75. The $100 figure is revenue per occupied room.

  1. ARevPAR $75; occupancy 75%Correct
  2. BRevPAR $100; occupancy 75%
  3. CRevPAR $75; occupancy 100%
  4. DRevPAR $100; occupancy 100%

Explanation

Available room-nights = 80 x 365 = 29,200. Occupancy = 21,900 / 29,200 = 75%. RevPAR = 2,190,000 / 29,200 = $75. Revenue per occupied room is $100, which is not RevPAR.
