Milan’s hotel industry recorded its highest-ever average daily rate (ADR) and revenue per available room (RevPAR) for March, according to preliminary data from CoStar.

ADR peaked during the closing days of Fashion Week (24 February–2 March), reaching EUR 249.60 on Sunday, 1 March. The highest occupancy (91.7%) and RevPAR (EUR 225.83) were recorded on Wednesday, 25 March, the second night of the biennial MCE 2026 tradeshow for the HVAC, renewable energy, and water sectors.
