French Open Pushes Paris Hotels to Record May Rates

CoStar’s preliminary benchmarking shows one-week tournament demand lifted May average daily rates and RevPAR, signaling concentrated calendar gains rather than sustained growth.

Overview

  • CoStar’s preliminary data show Paris posted its highest-ever May ADR and RevPAR, driven by demand around the French Open.
  • The firm reported May occupancy at 81.5%, ADR at €401.43 and RevPAR at €326.97, each up modestly year over year.
  • Tournament nights produced sharp spikes in nightly performance, with room rates staying above €400 on all but one night of the event.
  • CoStar recorded overnight peaks including an ADR high of €485.90 and a RevPAR peak of €441.97 on separate tournament dates.
  • The findings come from CoStar’s global hotel sample of 94,000 properties and 12 million rooms and reflect short-term, event-driven revenue gains that industry participants say do not guarantee stronger full-year results for 2026.
