Leading Market with High Barriers to Entry - New Orleans is a one-of-a-kind tourist destination offering a distinct culture, heritage, nightlife, and cuisine, as well as approximately 50 events and festivals annually that provide a constant influx of visitors. The New Orleans Hotel Market has experienced a most compelling recovery over the last 5 to 7 years and has exceeded prior peak levels. Driven by strong leisure demand, average daily rate (ADR) growth has been a primary contributor to higher RevPAR in 2022, with twelve-month ADR up 9.0% from last year and a 12-month average of $210, surpassing 2019 levels. Due to the lack of developable land in the Central Business District, the site is located in an area with limited new development opportunities.
