European Hotel Performance Forecast for May, June, and July 2025 - Including Strategic Recommendations for Hotels

The summer months of May, June, and July 2025 are expected to reflect Europe’s seasonal tourism patterns, with performance varying significantly across regions due to climate, cultural events, and economic conditions. Southern Europe will likely dominate leisure travel demand, while Northern and Western Europe may see a mix of business and leisure activity. Cities and coastal destinations will remain focal points, though sustainability concerns and evolving traveler preferences could reshape traditional trends.

New Report: European Hotel Performance Forecast for May, June, and July 2025 - Including Strategic Recommendations for Hotels

May 2025May marks the start of Europe’s peak tourist season, particularly in Mediterranean destinations such as Spain, Italy, Greece, and Portugal. Occupancy rates in these regions are projected to reach 75–85%, driven by early summer travelers avoiding the July–August crowds. Average daily rates (ADR) in popular coastal cities like Barcelona, Rome, and Athens may range from 150–250 euros (USD 160–270), with luxury resorts commanding higher premiums. In contrast, Northern Europe (e.g., the UK, Scandinavia) will experience milder weather, attracting business travelers and cultural tourists. Cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam could see occupancy rates of 70–75%, with ADR around 120–200 euros (USD 130–215). Revenue per available room (RevPAR) across Europe is expected to rise steadily in May, averaging 90–170 euros (USD 97–183), reflecting strong pre-summer demand.

June 2025June is anticipated to be the strongest month for Southern Europe, with occupancy rates peaking at 80–90% in coastal resorts and historic cities. ADR in premium destinations like Santorini, the French Riviera, and Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast could climb to 200–350 euros (USD 215–375), bolstered by international tourists and events such as music festivals or cultural fairs. Northern Europe will see a surge in urban tourism, aided by long daylight hours and events like the UEFA Champions League Final (scheduled for Munich in May 2025, with residual demand in June). Occupancy in cities like Berlin, Paris, and Edinburgh may stabilize at 75–80%, with ADR of 130–220 euros (USD 140–235). RevPAR across Europe is projected to peak in June, averaging 120–220 euros (USD 130–235), though inflationary pressures and labor shortages could squeeze profit margins for hotels.

July 2025July will likely bring mixed performance. Southern Europe will remain at near-full occupancy (85–90%) but face challenges from extreme heatwaves, which have become more frequent in recent years. Cities like Madrid, Seville, and Athens may see daytime temperatures exceeding 40°C (104°F), prompting shifts toward coastal and rural accommodations. ADR in coastal areas could stabilize at 180–300 euros (USD 195–320), while urban hotels may offer discounts to attract guests. In Northern and Central Europe, cities like Prague, Vienna, and Stockholm will benefit from cultural festivals and cooler climates, maintaining occupancy rates of 70–75% and ADR of 110–190 euros (USD 120–205). RevPAR in July is forecasted to dip slightly compared to June, averaging 100–180 euros (USD 108–193), as heat-sensitive travelers avoid certain regions.
