Calculating Occupancy Rates - Confusion

Hi ,

I am trying figure out how to calculate average occupancy for a hotel portfolio.

I have stabilised and ramp-up.

I have done:

rooms available * Days = Sellable Room Nights

Sellable room nights * occupancy =   occupied rooms/room nights sold

When calculating those that are stabilised do you just look at room night sold/available for only stabilised or is it divided by total room nights available , i.e.  Stabilised Room night sold/Stabilised room nights available vs Stabilised Room night sold/Total Room nights available

Vice versa with ramp-ups?

I think you're think about this backwards.  Generally you just apply a stabilized occupancy factor to each hotel in the portfolio (using a penetration figure based off the STR comp set, dependent on how your subject hotel strategically competes).  You do the same thing for ADR which results in RevPar which you also compare to the comp set.

Some hotels compete on rate or occupancy, you set a strategy based on your product offering relative to the comp set.

 

Occupied room nights for stabilized assets / available room nights for just the stabilized asset. Remember it should be an apples to apples sort of thing. So that would be the occupancy rate of the stabilized assets.

Stabilized occupancy is something completely different and would just refer to the ramping up assets. They have respective stabilized occupancy rate where they won’t be classified as ramping up once they achieve that occupancy.
