United States -  Atlanta

Atlanta serves as a major transportation hub, with the world's busiest passenger airport and the Delta headquarters. Primary sources of lodging demand comprise local employers, including 33 Fortune 500 and Fortune 1,000 companies, as well as convention and entertainment venues such as the Georgia World Congress Center, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and Truist Park. The most recent five-year historical peak occurred 2023, with occupancy near the 65.0% mark, and ADR surpassing $125 for the first time; however, market-wide RevPAR performance has contracted modestly since that time. Compounded supply growth from 2021 to 2025 paced near 2.5% annually, with notable entrants like the 976-key Signia by Hilton convention hotel in 2024 having a softening influence on occupancy. In 2025, an occupancy decline, paired with moderate ADR growth, resulted in flat RevPAR. Strong leisure demand from events like the MLB All-Star Game partially offset fewer citywide events and less robust government-related travel amid budget constraints and downsizing last year. The slight ADR increase in 2026 can be largely attributed to the FIFA World Cup matches held here, while displaced groups and weaker commercial demand are reflected in the occupancy decline. Atlanta's longstanding role as a hub in the Southeast, as well as new development projects, should support moderate growth moving forward.

* Although the HVI cannot tell you what a particular hotel is worth, it does provide excellent “big picture” data, indicating which market areas are experiencing positive trends, and thus may present good investment opportunities. The HVI for the U.S. is a measure of the strength of the lodging industry as a whole and, specifically, the hospitality investment market. The HVI for the various identified markets can provide a basis to evaluate and compare different geographic regions.
