While the national occupancy rate stands at 62.7%, a fine performance for all hoteliers, it remains below the levels of previous years. In fact, this rate is -0.2 points lower than in 2022 and -3.2 points lower than in 2019.

However, France posted a RevPAR of €68.9, up 4.7% on 2022 and 13% on 2019. This performance was made possible by an increase in the average daily rate (+18.8% vs 2019) in a context of rising inflation.

As in October, the midscale (65%) and upscale (64.8%) segments have the highest occupancy rates. The upscale segment continues to stand out with a RevPAR of €152.2, driven in particular by an average price of €235 (+26.1% vs. 2019).

For the country as a whole, only the Regions are below their 2019 occupancy levels (-0.7 pts), while Paris exceeds them by +1.6 points. However, thanks to a 5.3% increase in the average daily rate compared to 2019, the highest increase of all zones combined, the Regions will post a RevPAR of 50.1 euros, up 4% compared to 2022 and 11.2% compared to 2019.

The southern regions are among those with the lowest occupancy rates, such as Corsica (43%), Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur (52.9%) and...
