Cape Town is Hot Property Development boom bodes well for Africa's top hotel investment summit
Cape Town's hospitality and real estate industries are experiencing remarkable growth, reinforcing the city's current status as Africa's premier destination for tourism and investment. This surge bodes well for the upcoming Future Hospitality Summit Africa, the continent's most influential hospitality & tourism investment conference, which comes to 'The Mother City' on June 17-18. When destinations experience strong economic growth, they are typically a magnet for money, as investors are keen to come and see what's going on. Their presence has a knock-on effect of attracting top executives from developers, bankers, operators and brands, who are keen to meet their peers and discuss new opportunities. So, the organisers expect the Summit to be busy. The city's hotel sector has shown outstanding performance, with CoStar's April 2025 figures revealing an occupancy rate of 72.5%, the highest in South Africa. Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) climbed by 20.1% year-on-year, reaching ZAR 2,286.63 and the Average Daily Rate (ADR) reached ZAR 3,145.96, up 17.7% on 2024. According to Philip Wooller, Area Director for the Middle East and Africa at CoStar. He said: 'Cape Town's performance reflects a powerful rebound in demand and a growing confidence in the city's hospitality offerings. The consistent rise in both occupancy and RevPAR shows that Cape Town is not only back on the global travel radar—it's commanding a premium.' — Source: The Bench — Source: The Bench This strong performance extends across the Western Cape too. In April 2025 the province posted a 64.6% hotel occupancy rate, well above the national average of 56.3%. Cape Town's Luxury properties also performed particularly well then, achieving an impressive 66.2% occupancy—outpacing counterparts in other major South African cities. Cape Town's real estate market is experiencing a similar boom. In 2024/5, the average capital value of property reached R13,400/sqm, significantly higher than Johannesburg, and Pretoria. We're seeing a convergence of factors driving the real estate upswing in Cape Town: a robust tourism pipeline, investor confidence, and a renewed focus on mixed-use and lifestyle-driven developments. The city's appeal is both emotional and financial—it makes sense to visit, and increasingly, it makes sense to invest. Wayne Godwin, CEO at JLL Africa In keeping with its reputation as an investment-grade forum, FHS Africa's agenda will focus on all aspects of hospitality investment and finance, as well as development, capital markets, dealmaking and the sector's most pressing issues and opportunities. In the hospitality industry, it is known as a networking hub for global industry leaders, major investors, and policymakers and is an event where substantial deals are often conceived and announced. We're seeing strong and sustained demand in Cape Town, driven by both international, and regional travel. This is creating meaningful opportunities for growth, particularly in the premium and luxury space. The anticipated addition of Morea House, Autograph Collection later this year reflects this momentum and the market's appetite for distinctive, high-quality hospitality experiences. Karim Cheltout, Senior Vice President, Lodging Development at Marriott International, Middle East and Africa.

STR Weekly Insights: 11-17 May 2025
U.S. hotels posted a modest advance in the week ending 17 May with a strong ending offsetting lackluster performance at the beginning. Revenue per available room (RevPAR) rose 0.9%, lifted by a 1.3% gain in average daily rate (ADR) as occupancy fell. RevPAR on Thursday through Saturday increased 2.4% with Friday on top at +3.3%. Tuesday/Wednesday was flat (+0.4%), and the start of the week was down (-1.7). This is notable because last week, it was the weekend that saw the largest loss. It is difficult to pinpoint the cause of this weekend flip, but it's possible that a shift in high school and college graduations occurred due the later start of the semester after the Christmas/New Year holidays.

However, 11 of the T25 saw RevPAR advance, led by Detroit (+26.1%), which hosted Automate 2025. Chicago saw its RevPAR increase 13.5% with double-digit gains Tuesday through Saturday. All seven submarkets saw RevPAR growth in the week, ranging from +1.4% in Chicago Southwest to +27.6% in Chicago North. The Chicago CBD submarket was up 14.4% for the week and is up 5.9% since 5 January 2025 all on ADR. Los Angeles and San Diego rounded out the list of double-digit RevPAR gainers. On the flip side, two of the country's five largest markets, Las Vegas and Atlanta, each saw double-digit RevPAR declines. Atlanta's slowdown was driven by a decrease in Group demand. A range of leisure-focused events lifted performance across cities outside the T25 Across the seventy next largest markets, three markets posted notable RevPAR growth - Daytona Beach, which hosted the annual music festival, Welcome To Rockville 2025, as well as Charlotte, with the 2025 PGA Golf Championship, and Tucson, the site of a nature photography conference, NANPA 2025. Overall, only 50 markets outside the T25 saw RevPAR fall for the week, down from 73 in the week before. College graduations make the grade across smaller markets RevPAR across several smaller markets were impacted by college graduations from some of the nation's largest universities. The top three RevPAR markets included Blacksburg (Virginia Tech), Binghamton (Rochester Institute of Technology) and Champaign-Urbana (University of Illinois). All three saw RevPAR increase by more than 100%. Group demand slipped Group demand in Luxury and Upper Upscale hotels declined 3.2% with Thursday-Saturday seeing the largest decline, likely impacted by high school and college graduations. Group ADR increased 2.3%, matching transient ADR up 2.4% while Transient demand increased 1.4%. Across the T25, five markets posted healthy group demand led by Detroit, Oahu, Las Vegas, San Diego, and Anaheim (Orange County). Over the past four weeks, Group demand is down in Atlanta, Las Vegas, and New Orleans by more than 10%. Atlanta shows the largest Group demand decline (-15.6%) the last four weeks) but is flat as of May YTD). — Source: STR Global RevPAR slowed on falling demand RevPAR across the globe, excluding the U.S., rose 3.2%. Occupancy retreated 1.2 percentage points (ppts) after two weeks of growth while ADR continued to grow (+4.7%). Global RevPAR has increased 65 of the past 72 weeks and in 18 of 20 weeks this year. — Source: STR Once again, Japan led among the 12 key countries with RevPAR up 44%, driven by a 44% ADR increase. The country's occupancy also increased slightly and stood at 79.5%. Other countries seeing RevPAR gains included Mexico, France, Spain, and Canada. RevPAR was up by more than 5% in those countries, except in Canada where it increased by 2.6%. China, Germany and India saw RevPAR retreat by more than 10%. China's decrease was the largest since the week ending 12 April 2025 thanks to falling ADR (-7.1%). Of the 10 largest markets in China, eight saw RevPAR decrease with four noting double-digit declines. While occupancy was down 2ppts for these 10 markets as a whole, demand was somewhat flat (-0.4%) with the occupancy decline more due to increasing supply (+2.4%). — Source: STR Looking ahead Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer. Meetings and events along with Transient business travel will slow as is typical during this time of year. There are mixed indicators ahead. Forward bookings are softer for the coming months with bookings positive in May, flat in June and then down for July and August. Shorter booking windows may be creating lower levels for July and August, but we are watching closely. TSA airport screenings were down this past week, but early indications for next week show improvement. AAA predicts 45.1 million Americans are expected to travel domestically for Memorial Day setting a new weekend record. Thus, only time will tell how people actually react to the increased uncertainty that has permeated this year. Globally, there are also mixed indicators. Performance has slowed in recent weeks and many of the blockbuster events (Taylor Swift, Euros, Olympics, etc.) from 2024 will provide difficult comps this year in Germany, France, etc. That said, the number of Americans traveling internationally has continued to increase, although this may slow due to the falling dollar. International travel into the U.S. has slowed, which could prove to be a benefit for other regions of the world. — Source: STR About CoStar Group, Inc.

Highlights Normal demand for Memorial Day weekend Top 25 Markets lifted RevPAR at the start of the week Luxury hotels continue to outperform the rest of the industry Global RevPAR strengthened Memorial Day weekend shows the resolve of travelers With the unofficial start to summer, TSA screening volume on Friday, 23 May was the third highest for any day in history. One day earlier, Thursday, was the fifth highest. For the week, U.S. hotels produced steady RevPAR growth of 1.1% as average daily rate (ADR) advanced 1.5% and occupancy decreased 0.3 percentage points (ppts). The Friday and Saturday ahead of Memorial Day produced normal demand levels for the holiday weekend (+18K year over year), reflecting a steadfast consumer with an appetite for travel. The number of rooms sold for the Friday and Saturday of Memorial Day weekend was the third highest on record and less than 1% behind 2022 and 2019. Occupancy came in at 76.4%, just 0.4 ppts behind last year and 0.1 ppts behind 2023. ADR growth was also similar to the last two Memorial Day weekend (+0.1% this year, +0.2% last year and +0.1% in 2023). — Source: STR — Source: STR — Source: STR The start of the week was lifted by the Top 25 Markets with RevPAR on Monday through Thursday averaging +3.0%, driven entirely by ADR. Several T25 markets hosted large conferences at the beginning of the week, led by San Francisco with RevPAR advancing 24.3%. The weekend saw the greatest gains in cities outside the T25. — Source: STR — Source: STR Luxury on top again Luxury hotels dominated performance across the chains scales with RevPAR rising 6.8%, driven primarily by ADR. Upper Upscale and Upscale followed at more subdued levels, just under 2.0%. Upper Midscale posted flat RevPAR and Economy declined 2.5%. Global performance remained healthy Global RevPAR, excluding the U.S., increased 7.4% with Japan leading the charge followed by strong performance in Germany with triple-digit RevPAR gains in Dusseldorf and Cologne. France and Mexico also saw healthy gains. — Source: STR Looking ahead A full summary of Memorial Day weekend will be available in next week's data, however, the respectable performance on Friday and Saturday as well as year-over-year growth in TSA numbers this past week (+0.5%) points to a good result. Looking further into June, advance bookings in the U.S. are up from last year in aggregate, while July and August are seeing some softness—likely due to shorter booking windows. The start of summer break is slightly later for students this year, which could push back some leisure travel. Outside the U.S., performance should remain up as summer holidays commence across much of the world. — Source: STR Updated Forecasts The updated U.S. hotel forecast from CoStar and Tourism Economics will be released at NYU IHIF on Monday, 2 June.
