A recovery dynamic driven by tourist numbers
After a downturn in April, May 2025 marked a rebound for the Greater Roissy hotel industry. Supported by a favorable calendar and an increase in air traffic, occupancy rose sharply, while average prices adjusted downward in a contained manner.
🌟 Increased attendance, moderately increasing RevPAR
In May 2025, the occupancy rate wins + 2,4 points compared to May 2024 to reach 77,3%. Despite a slight drop in the average price (-1,8%, to €92,8), RevPAR (revenue per available room) increased by + 1,3%, settling at € 71,7.
This dynamic is mainly driven by tourist numbers, in a context of successive bridges and public holidays (May 1, May 8, Ascension, Pentecost) and a air traffic up +1,7% à 6,2 million passengers at Paris-Charles de Gaulle (i.e. 96,1% of 2019 traffic).
🏨 Segmentation: 3* in the lead, budget-friendly ones behind
3 star hotels : clear increase in the occupancy rate at 74,7% (+5,7 pts). Despite a marked price decline (7,9 % OFF), the RevPAR remains almost stable at 0,2 % OFF.
4 establishments and high-end residences*: good overall performance with 78,2% attendance (+2,4 pts) and RevPAR up +4,1%, supported by better price resistance.
Budget hotels (1/2)**: decline in the occupancy rate of -2,4 pts at 78,8% and falling prices, leading to a RevPAR drop of -5,3%.
📍 Geographic analysis: significant differences between areas
Airport Zone : remains the driving force of the territory with a high attendance at 81,9% and Solid RevPAR at €93,1.
Orchard Alley : significant progression of +3,9 pts in the occupancy rate, allowing a increase in RevPAR of +2,8% despite a price adjustment.
Villepinte / Paris North 2 : strongly impacted by thelack of structuring trade fairs, the area is moving back -5,1 pts (occupancy rate at 66,3%) with a RevPAR down -7,8% to €48,2.
📊 Cumulative annual report: a market still fragile
Over the period January to May 2025, indicators remain generally oriented downwards :
- Occupancy rate : 69,3%, a slight decrease (-0,4 pt) compared to 2024
- Average price : € 96,1, a sharp decline of -4,4%
- RevPAR : fall to € 66,6Either 4,9 % OFF
The mid-range segments (3)* and the Orchard Alley area are the most affected, with respectively -8,7% and -10,0% decrease in RevPAR.
However, high-end establishments absorb the shock better, limiting their decline in RevPAR to 2,2 % OFF.
🗓️ A month stimulated by the calendar, but not very driven by events
Despite dynamic attendance, the lack of large-scale professional events, particularly in Villepinte, limited performance in certain areas. One-off events such as theIntegrathlon,BattleKart experience or a engineering school competitions have had limited impact on hotel demand.
