Euro Championships boost performance for Warsaw hotels

06/08/2012

While London hotels are trying to work out what impact the Olympics will have on occupancy, hotels in Warsaw are counting the profits following the Euro 2012 Football Championships.

The latest HotStats survey from TRI Hospitality Consulting showed that as a result of the championships held in June, hotels in Warsaw achieved a 195.6 per cent increase in profit per room to €171.72. The growth in profit was fuelled by a 165.2 per cent increase in Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR) to €206.22, which put Warsaw among the top performing cities polled in Europe in June.

With Olympic-related transport issues and bedroom price worries, London hotels saw a 7.7 per cent decline in Gross Operating Profit per Available Room (GOPPAR) in June - the first month since December 2011 that London's hotels have seen a decline in this measure.

Other hotels in Europe, however, saw increases, including Berlin which saw significant increases in the achieved rate in the corporate (+19.2 per cent), residential conference (+12.4 per cent) and Best Available Rate (BAR) segments as Berlin’s ICC hosted the 16,000-delegate international EULAR medical conference.

Other cities achieving considerable GOPPAR increases in June included Amsterdam, Budapest, Istanbul, Vienna and Dublin.
