HOSPITALITY

Typology

Takeaways In both counties, hotel room inventory has had stable growth. The upscale hotels are concentrated around the beaches with a mix of economy, midscale, and upscale hotels dispersed around the residential areas of the counties. However, St. Johns, driven by the tourism of St. Augustine, has a higher portion of upscale hotels with average rates higher than those in Duval.

Other than one upscale hotel in Downtown Jacksonville, two in southern Duval around the St. Johns Town Center developments, and hotels along the beach, the existing hotels in Duval County are a mix of midscale and economy dispersed in residential areas or near the airport. The pipeline shows future development in the same areas as existing inventory, adding most to the central business district and the Baymeadows area. The suburban hotels in St. Johns County are like those in Duval County, a mix of midscale and economy dispersed around retail and residential developments. The City of St. Augustine, as tourist destination, has the highest concentration of hotels in the county and includes a mix of upscale franchise and independent hotels.

Duval County had a boom in hotel room inventory around 2000 and again at the end of the decade before maintaining stable growth since. St. Johns County also has increased inventory but at a slower, more stable rate. Occupancy rates averaged at 65% in Duval County and 62% in St. Johns. Rates moved relatively in line with

each other over since 2000, dipping around 2010 and consistently rising until the 2020 pandemic. St. Johns County hotel rooms go for higher rates than Duval’s, but both counties' rates have followed the same trends, dipping around 2010 and again in 2021 before rising to recent highs in 2022.
