New York City hotels had a third consecutive month of GOPPAR decline in March—a figure that was off more than 27 percent YOY, according to the latest data on full-service hotels from HotStats. The profit drop was led by a 6 percentage-point decline in room occupancy, as well as a 5.4 percent decrease in achieved average room rate, which contributed to the 11.8 percent decline in RevPAR for New York City hotels.
