United States -  Detroit

The “Big Three” automakers, local employers and office headquarters, conventions, and leisure destinations represent the primary sources of lodging demand for the greater Detroit market. Over the last two decades, Detroit has evolved from a mid-50.0% occupancy market into one that achieves notably higher occupancy levels. This long-term strengthening trend has been attributed to increases in commercial activity throughout Metro Detroit created by a more diverse economy, heightened tourism, and the continued presence of citywide events, such as the North American International Auto Show. In 2023, occupancy approached 60.0% again, still well below the historical peak occupancy levels; the 2024 occupancy trend reflects overall stability with a slight decline. ADR, on the other hand, surpassed the $120 mark in 2023 (an all-time high) and increased modestly in 2024. The longer-term outlook is favorable as commercial demand continues to recover, along with positive meeting, convention, and special-event forecasts. Moreover, continued commercial development, improving international travel, and Detroit's growing popularity as a tourist destination should help to drive demand growth.
