    What is ADR?

    Average Daily Rate (ADR) is a key hospitality metric that measures the average rental income earned per paid occupied room over a specific time period. It reflects pricing strategy effectiveness and market positioning.

    ADR Formula

    ADR = Total Room Revenue ÷ Number of Rooms Sold

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How is ADR calculated?

    Divide total room revenue by rooms sold. Complimentary rooms are typically excluded.

    ADR vs RevPAR?

    ADR shows average price per sold room; RevPAR shows revenue per available room, including unsold inventory.

    Can ADR be too high?

    Yes. If high ADR leads to low occupancy, overall revenue (RevPAR) may suffer. Balance is key.
