Market Trends of North America Luxury Hotel Industry
North America Dominates the Luxury Hotel Segment Globally

The U.S. occupied four-fifths of the total North American luxury hotel market, while Mexico is expected to grow at the fastest rate. Along with Europe, North America collectively accounted for two-thirds of the total size of the luxury hotel market and is expected to continue to dominate the market due to an increase in the number of tourists and travelers. In the year 2021, midscale and luxury hotel openings in North and Central America will account for 684 rooms.
With the advent of COVID-19, the RevPAR of the hotel industry in the US observed a steep decline, from USD 86 in 2019 to USD 45.48 in 2020. With recovery from COVID-19 and an increase in the movement of people, it reached a pre-COVID-19 level with a RevPAR of USD 72 in 2021.
United States Accounts for Major Share in the Market
