Hotel demand grew 3.7% nationally in fourth quarter 2017, up from the 2.4% rate in third quarter. Supply growth remained steady at 1.9%. Continued disruption from Hurricane Harvey led to Houston having the largest hotel demand increase (31.1%). In contrast, gains also occurred in the Hurricane Irma-affected markets of West Palm Beach (12%), Miami (9.1%) and Orlando (8.1%), according to CBRE.—Lisa Brown
