“Miami’s short-term rental occupancy, ADR and RevPAR were its highest since February 2020,” STR said. “For comparison, February occupancy for Miami hotels came in at 65.5 percent.”

Occupancy for short-term rentals in Nashville was 64.1 percent, up 21.2 percent from January. ADR was $89.61, down 0.6 percent, and RevPAR was $57.42, up 20.4 percent.

“Nashville’s short-term rental occupancy was its highest for any month since November 2019, while RevPAR was the highest since November 2020. Hotel occupancy in the market was lower in comparison, at 38.7 percent,” STR said.
