UK Chain Hotels Market Review - April 2011

Profitability levels in the capital soared in April despite major declines in headline performance levels over the Easter Bank holiday and the Royal Wedding weekend, according to the latest HotStats survey of approximately 550 full-service hotels across the UK from TRI Hospitality Consulting. Despite the boost of an estimated half a million visitors to the capital to celebrate the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton, it is clear that the demand for full-service hotel accommodation during this period was not as strong as was widely anticipated.
