In April 2021, Manhattan hotel occupancy rates jumped by 35.7 percentage points over April 2020, a sign people are traveling more compared to when the pandemic paused events last spring.
STR, a hospitality data and analytics company that compiles city hotel occupancy data, said occupancy in April 2021 was 55.9%, up from the 20.2% rate recorded in April 2020, a month into the coronavirus outbreak. April is the latest month with data available.

The city’s hotel room numbers are down about 70 after owners of the Hampton Inn, 501 East Poyntz Ave., decided to permanently close the hotel after a January fire caused about $5 million in damage. Manhattan’s inventory dropped to 1,167.
Revenue per room through April 2021 was up at $39.09, an increase of 2.5%. Revenue per room through April 2020 was $38.10.
