Global Hotel Rates Expected to Rise in 2027 Amid Inflation and Uneven Supply
Global hotel rates are expected to continue rising in 2027 due to resilient corporate travel and meetings demand, persistent inflation, and uneven regional supply.
American Express Global Business Travel's (Amex GBT) Hotel Monitor 2027 forecasts higher hotel rates across key business travel destinations. The Americas and Europe are expected to see stronger increases, while growth in Asia-Pacific is projected to be more moderate.
The report presents its forecasts as ranges, reflecting continued geopolitical uncertainty and commodity price volatility. If the conflict in the Middle East does not resolve quickly or if global inflation remains high, rates could rise towards the upper end of the forecast ranges.
