Boosted by the holiday season, Dubai’s hotel industry achieved its highest December revenue per available room (RevPAR) since 2007, according to preliminary data from CoStar, a provider of online real estate marketplaces, information, and analytics for property markets.
In December 2025, key
performance metrics showed strong year-on-year growth: occupancy reached 84.3%
(+3.4%), the average daily rate (ADR) rose to AED 1,042.11 ($283.76) (+11.1%), and RevPAR climbed to AED 878.19
(+15.0%).
The market’s occupancy
was the highest for a December since 2006, while ADR was the highest recorded
for the year.
Performance levels
peaked on New Year’s Eve, with occupancy at 94.1%, ADR at AED 2,286.60, and
RevPAR at AED 2,151.40.
This marked the first
night on record in which both Dubai’s ADR and RevPAR surpassed the AED 2,000
mark.
For nine consecutive
nights starting Tuesday, December 23, the market maintained occupancy above 80%
and ADR above AED 1,000, reflecting a sustained surge in demand over the
holiday period. -TradeArabia News Service
