What we flag.

  • Coordinated rate rises

    Dates where most of your comp set has lifted rates against a week earlier.

  • How broad it is

    How many competitors moved, so a trend reads differently from one outlier.

  • Group business at comps

    Conventions and room blocks landing at competitor hotels.

  • Busy windows

    Dates when several competitors host large events at once.

Why it matters.

When competitors raise rates together, demand is tightening. Discount into it and you sell cheap the nights that would have sold anyway.

Example signal

3 of 4 comparable properties have lifted rates for Saturday, Sep 12.

Comp set is running rates up around Saturday, Sep 12 — 75% of the properties we track have raised their floor since last week. Coordinated upward movement is the early shape of tightening demand and usually continues for 24-72 hours.

Next move

Pull tonight's Saturday, Sep 12 rate review forward. The window to move with the set usually closes once the run-up is broad.

How it works.

  1. 1.We read last week's rates

    Each competitor's rate for every upcoming night, against a week earlier.

  2. 2.We count who moved

    It fires when 60% or more of the set has lifted rates 4% or more.

  3. 3.You move with them

    The signal lands while there's still time to act.

How GMs use it.

  • Hold your rate with confidence

    When the market tightens, you see it before you discount.

  • Move early

    Coordinated increases usually run for one to three days.

  • Read demand without your own data

    The signal comes from competitor pricing, not your bookings.
