DFW International Airport, Love Field Airport, Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center (KBHCCD), and local employers and office headquarters, particularly within the telecommunications, technology, insurance, financial services, and healthcare fields, represent the primary sources of demand in the greater Dallas market. Prior to the pandemic, Dallas typically achieved annual occupancy levels near 70.0%. In 2022 and 2023, occupancy bracketed the 65.0% mark. ADR, on the other hand, registered significant growth in 2022 and continued a favorable trend in 2023, supported by elevated hotel products, strong levels of high-rated leisure demand, and inflationary increases. In 2024, occupancy contracted modestly to near 65.0%, and ADR grew at a more typical pace, ending the year at just over $128. Thus far in 2025, occupancy has softened, as hotel owners/operators are realizing the impact of new federal policies and economic uncertainty, particularly on business and leisure travel. Meanwhile, ADR has increased minimally. In addition to new U.S. policies, the hotel supply pipeline and the renovations at KBHCCD are factors expected to influence occupancy through 2025. Nevertheless, the long-term outlook is favorable, owing to continued relocations, steady expansion within the downtown and suburban areas, and the renovated KBHCCD, which is anticipated to open in 2029.
