The Manchester Hotel Market Spotlights offer insights into top-line hotel performance and profitability, providing a fresh snapshot of the main drivers behind the latest market shifts compared to last year. This edition is based on a sample of branded full-service hotels in Manchester, analysing key revenue streams and cost dynamics.
The sample of branded full-service hotels in Manchester recorded a GOP per available room (PAR) of £36.0 in the 12 months ending in August 2025. This represents a 13.4% drop compared to the same period last year, due to a 4.0% decline in revenue, which was only marginally offset by the lower expenses (-0.5%).
RevPAR reached £90.5 year-to-date, £5.8 below last year (- 6%). This was due to a 5.3pp. decrease in occupancy while ADR improved by £1.2 (+0.9%). The F&B revenue declined slightly to £54.8 PAR (-1.4%) during the period.
Meanwhile, total expenses decreased by £0.5 YoY, reaching £11.14, driven by Cost of Sales (-£0.7, -3.4%) and Other Expenses (-£0.4, -1.3%). These savings were partially eroded by the rising Payroll costs (+£0.6, +1.1%).
YoY occupancy decline was primarily driven by March (- 17.0%), followed by August (-14.5%), and May (-13.7%). During the period, the only months with increasing occupancy were September and January, recording increases of 2.5% and 0.2%, respectively, compared to last year.
There were three hotel openings in Manchester during the period, adding 888 new rooms. When weighted by opening date, the total supply only increased by 1.6% (+3.4% in the Upper Upscale segment).
The year-on-year decrease in total revenues was slightly compensated by the decline in total costs, leading to a GOP flex of 8.7% and a GOP margin of 24.4% (-2.7pp.).

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
