The Manhattan hotel market is the beneficiary of surging demand, diminished inventory, the weak dollar, and a positive economy. It is the era of exuberance as measured by rates, occupancy, and profits.

Dr. Lalia Rach Associate Dean and HVS International Chair Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism and Sports Management New York University.

A review of the previous tables reveals the following.

  • The Downtown neighborhood experienced the most rapid supply growth between 1999 and 2005 at roundly 5.6%, while the Midtown West neighborhood experienced some growth and the Midtown East neighborhood decreased slightly during the same period.

  • All of the neighborhoods were negatively affected by the events of 9/11 as well as the adverse economic climate in 2001. Nevertheless, all neighborhoods have shown resilience in 2002 and 2003, recording slight to moderate increases in occupancies, with the exception of the Midtown West neighborhood, which recorded a slight decrease in occupancy in 2002.

  • In 2005, all of the neighborhoods recorded significant growth in their respective occupancies, with all neighborhoods exceeding their 2000 occupancy levels. The strong growth in occupancy was coupled with double-digit growth in average rates in all of the neighborhoods, which resulted in double-digit RevPAR growth in all neighborhoods, ranging from a low of roundly 17.9% in the Midtown West neighborhood to a high of roundly 24.5% in the Midtown East neighborhood.
