Market Research and Feasibility Study Services for Hotels in the USA

Why Market Research is Crucial for Hotel Businesses

The U.S. hotel industry is projected to generate over $300 billion in revenue in 2025. However, only those properties that align with the local market, guest preferences, and evolving hospitality trends will succeed.

Aviaan’s hotel market research services help answer essential questions such as:

What type of hotel (luxury, budget, boutique, extended stay) fits the local demand?
Which customer segments are dominant—business travelers, tourists, digital nomads, or families?
What amenities are most valued in your chosen location?
Who are your top competitors, and how can your hotel differentiate?
What are the seasonal occupancy trends and pricing patterns?

This research equips you with the strategic insight to make confident investment decisions and fine-tune your hotel concept, marketing, and pricing strategies.

Feasibility Study: Assessing the Viability of Your Hotel Investment

A hotel feasibility study is a comprehensive evaluation of the financial and operational viability of your hotel concept in a specific location.

Emerging Trends Shaping the Hotel Industry in the USA

Understanding current trends is essential for shaping a successful hotel concept. Our team incorporates these insights into your market analysis and business strategy:

Guests are increasingly choosing hotels that offer unique experiences—local culture immersion, art-themed rooms, or eco-retreats.

2. Digital Transformation

Mobile check-in, contactless payments, and app-based services are now standard expectations, especially among younger travelers.

Eco-conscious hotels with energy-efficient infrastructure, healthy dining options, and wellness programs are gaining traction.

Case Study 1: Boutique Hotel Development in Asheville, North Carolina

Client:
An investor group wanted to establish a 40-room boutique hotel in Asheville focused on eco-luxury and local artisan experiences.

Challenges:

High seasonality and dependence on tourism
Competition from Airbnbs and wellness retreats
Uncertainty about mid-week occupancy

Aviaan’s Solution:
We conducted a detailed feasibility study covering:

Tourism data analysis: Asheville saw over 12 million visitors annually, with strong weekend demand but weak midweek bookings.
Competitor assessment: Local inns were overpriced with outdated amenities—creating a gap for modern, green luxury.
Customer profiling: Target guests were millennials and couples looking for off-the-grid yet connected stays.

Financial Projections:

Startup cost: $8.5 million
Year 1 revenue estimate: $2.1 million
Break-even: 28 months
Occupancy rate target: 63% average annually
ADR (Average Daily Rate): $180–$240

Outcome:
The hotel opened in 2023, featuring solar-powered rooms, a rooftop yoga deck, and a locally sourced breakfast menu. Aviaan continues to provide quarterly performance reviews.

Case Study 2: Franchise Hotel Expansion in Dallas, Texas

Client:
A hospitality group wanted to expand its Hilton Garden Inn portfolio with a new 120-room hotel near Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) Airport.

Challenges:

Highly saturated hotel market
High land acquisition and labor costs
Need to differentiate despite franchise brand standardization

Aviaan’s Research & Feasibility Approach:

Site analysis: We selected a location close to a new convention center under construction, ensuring strong future demand.
Travel behavior study: Over 50% of DFW airport visitors were business travelers needing overnight accommodation.
Competitive pricing analysis: Allowed for optimized room rate to undercut older hotels with better amenities.

Key Results:

Investment required: $18 million
Forecasted average annual revenue: $6.2 million
Year 3 projected EBITDA margin: 27%
Breakeven expected within 30 months

Outcome:
The hotel was launched in late 2024 with positive occupancy rates and rapid reviews on booking platforms. Aviaan’s strategy was credited with pre-booking over 3,000 room nights before launch.
