Rhode Island Lodging Market Outlook

This presentation provides an overview of national lodging trends and examines the performance and outlook for Rhode Island’s hotel markets, including Providence, Warwick, Newport, and Middletown. The analysis shows that the state’s lodging industry continues to recover, with RevPAR growth driven primarily by ADR gains and improving demand across several markets. Providence and Warwick are benefiting from improving group and airport-related demand, while Newport and coastal markets remain heavily dependent on leisure travel and seasonal patterns. Overall, the outlook suggests continued but moderate growth across Rhode Island’s lodging markets, supported by group demand and tourism, though tempered by economic uncertainty and slowing leisure growth following the post-pandemic surge.
