What is Hotel Occupancy Percentage?
A rooms KPI for hotels and resorts. Distinct from healthcare bed occupancy and real-estate rental occupancy—those hubs use different denominators.
- Same property and period
- Available = rooms ready to sell per PMS policy
- Sold = occupied room-nights
The Formula
How we calculate. occupancy % = (rooms sold ÷ rooms available) × 100. See our methodology and accuracy policy.
Worked Example
Common Use Cases

Pro Tips
