Room Revenue

The total income generated from selling guest rooms, before deducting expenses, commissions, or taxes. Room revenue is the primary revenue stream for most hotels and the focus of revenue management.

Why it matters: Room-revenue share varies by property, outlet, accounting scope, season, and operating model. ADR and RevPAR use room-revenue scope; compare other departmental revenue and contribution separately and consistently.
