Market Analysis

Hartford, CT has a total of 22,463 Hotel Rooms

The Hartford Hotel is classified as a Luxury Hotel. The Luxury segment of the total housing available accounts for 4,633 rooms, or 21% of the market.

z Visitor numbers in the first half of 2008 overall were flat compared to 2007. Growth in Overseas and Domestic markets has been offset by the decline in U.S. visitors. z Both the Fairmont and InterContinental hotels are located in the Downtown area, where both Occupancy and Daily Rates are up about 2.5% in 2008 over 2007

Occupancy and Rate Trends for 2006-2008 Monthly occupancy figures reveal that August and September are the busiest months across the region for hotels, with December and January the quietest. 2006 saw noticeable increases in May and August over 2005, driven in part by large conventions.

Average Daily rates increased in 2008 every month except for July. A 13% rise in May was due to convention activity in the city.
