How the math works

Weighted avg = sum(RevPAR × days) / total days.

(380 × 100 + 220 × 130 + 120 × 135) / 365 = ($38k + $28.6k + $16.2k) / 365 = $226 RevPAR.

How to Use

  1. Enter high season RevPAR.
  2. Enter shoulder season RevPAR.
  3. Enter low season RevPAR.
  4. Enter days in each season.
  5. Read weighted annual RevPAR.

Frequently Asked Questions

Typical seasonal spreads?

Beach resort: 2-4x difference (winter high $400 vs summer low $120). Ski resort: 3-5x. Urban business: 10-20% spread (minimal). Leisure mix: 1.5-2.5x. Seasonality amplifies variability in hotel income.

Budgeting challenge?

Simple average misleads — weighted by days matters more. Model month-by-month. Account for holiday weeks separately. Track year-over-year same period. Seasonal properties need larger working capital for low-revenue months.

Mitigation strategies?

Group/convention business in shoulder season. Holiday/special event pricing. Package offerings to extend season. Corporate rates for off-peak stays. Long-term lease of space to off-season corporate tenants.

What does competitive benchmarking look like?

Pull 3-5 comparable properties or units in your submarket from CoStar, Yardi, CIM, or your local broker. Normalize by unit type, class, and age. Your outputs should fall within one standard deviation of the comp-set mean. Outliers are either opportunities or warning signs — dig into why. Monthly benchmarking keeps your portfolio on-market and pricing sharp.
