A few weeks after Technomic’s report that overall consumer spending at hotel food-and-beverage outlets increased 4.9 percent in 2017, STR has released a report that shows U.S. hotel food-and-beverage revenue per occupied room increased 1.6 percent during the year.

F&B RevPOR reached $105.56, up from $103.93 in 2016, according to STR. This growth reflected increases across all hotel classes and contributions from both food and beverage revenue sources, according to total-year data from the company.

Among F&B department revenue centers, hotel venue operations experienced the most significant percent change from 2016 with a 4.7-percent increase in revenue per available seat.
