Trends® in the Hotel Industry is an annual compilation of unit-level hotel financial statements. Since 1936, PKF Hospitality Research LLC (PKF-HR)has collected year-end operating statements from thousands of hotels across the nation. From these statements, our Firm extracts 200 specific revenue and expense items and then puts the data into a uniform format to ensure equitable benchmarking. The Trends® database is the oldest and most comprehensive source of hotel financial information in the United States.

The results of the survey are presented in our annual Trends® in the Hotel Industry report. The Trends® report provides in-depth analyses of hotel revenues, expenses, and profits. The data is arrayed in a variety of property type, geographic location, rate, and size categories, thus allowing hotel owners and operators to benchmark the performance of their properties to industry-wide averages of a similar profile. Trends® is one of the most widely used and detailed reports of its type.
