How does ADR + occupancy translate to hotel loan size?

Keys × ADR × occupancy × 365 = annual room revenue. Add F&B + ancillary revenue (10-30% of room revenue depending on flag). Deduct operating expenses (35-55% of total revenue depending on flag tier). Result: NOI. CMBS sizing then runs 3-constraint test: NOI ÷ debt yield floor (10-11% hotel) = max loan by DY; NOI ÷ (DSCR × annual debt service per dollar) = max by DSCR; appraised value × LTV cap (65-70% hotel) = max by LTV. Smallest result is the binding constraint.

RevPAR = Revenue Per Available Room = ADR × Occupancy. Industry-standard hotel performance metric. Tier-1 limited-service Hampton Inn/Courtyard: $90-130 RevPAR. Branded full-service: $130-200. Upper-upscale: $180-280. Luxury: $300+. RevPAR drives revenue but doesn't directly determine loan size, NOI does. The NOI margin matters as much as the RevPAR number.

Why is hotel debt yield so high?

Hotel CMBS demands 10-11% debt yield (vs. multifamily 7.5%, industrial 8.0%). Three structural reasons: (1) operating-business cash flow volatility, hotels are operating businesses, not passive real estate. (2) RevPAR cyclicality, peak-to-trough swings 20-40% in cycles. (3) brand-flag concentration risk, termination drops asset value 20-40%. Conduits price all three risks via debt yield floor.
