Executive Summary

Hospitality Demand and Performance


Economic trends point to another year of growth in 2017, generating higher room revenue and more occupied rooms.
Current plans to increase infrastructure and defense spending could initiate a higher rate of economic growth. However,
the White Houses relationship with Congress and the legislation enabling such initiatives, and potential changes in tax
policy, may be slow to evolve.
Growth rates in primary hospitality performance indicators will moderate. Downside risks include an unanticipated dis-
ruption in travel related to events outside the industry.
Projects slated for delivery this year mark the peak of this cycle but nonetheless remain well below the high points of
recent cycles. Select-service brands dominate the construction pipeline in 2017.
Airbnb remains a competitive factor, and additional municipalities will follow the lead of large markets New York City and
San Francisco to impose regulations on short-term rentals.

Investment Activity and Capital Markets


Hotel lenders are tightening leverage and loan proceeds as growth in primary revenue metrics eases. Liquidity in the debt
market remains healthy, but higher interest rates are raising borrowing costs.
The Federal Reserve increased its short-term lending benchmark in March. The central bank will likely be more active in
raising the Fed Funds rate during 2017.
A considerable number of new hotels are coming online, encouraging hotel investors to assess the impact of new supply
and revise price expectations. Investors and sellers price targets will realign accordingly.
A reduction in the unemployment rate and the implementation of higher minimum wages in many areas are presenting
challenges in managing labor costs. Wage pressures will intensify in the hotel industry during 2017 as the economy
remains near full employment.

Hospitality 2017 Outlook


1.9% increase Supply:
in available rooms Developers will bring online roughly 140,000 rooms in 2017, an increase from the approximate-
ly 100,000 rooms that were delivered in 2016. Completions translate to a 1.9 percent increase
in available rooms, matching the long-term trend.
30 basis point Occupancy:
decrease in occupancy Room demand will increase 1.4 percent during 2017, moderating from last years gain. Annual
occupancy slips to 65.2 percent, the first yearly decline this cycle.

2.8% ADR:
increase in ADR Competition from new hotels and home-sharing services reduces ADR growth from last years
3.1 percent gain. Select-service hotels will come under the greatest pressure.

2.4% RevPAR:
increase in RevPAR With occupancy forecast to decline, ADR becomes the sole driver of a modest gain in RevPAR
this year and extends a trend of moderating growth.
