Specifically, the in-terminal hotels experienced a decline in ADRof 2.4 percent in 2008, 12.4 percent in 2009, <strong>and</strong> 0.5 percent in 2010. In 2011,ADR increased 4.7 percent over prior year levels. Through YTD June 2012, ADRfurther increased 1.5 percent to $150.62.As a result of the fluctuations in occupancy <strong>and</strong> ADR, RevPAR for the in-terminalhotels decreased at a CAGR of 3.0 percent over the past five years. In 2009, thein-terminal hotels experienced a decline in RevPAR of16.8 percent, which is in linewith the decline in RevPAR experienced by the overall U.S hotel segment. RevPARincreased 7.8 <strong>and</strong> 6.4 percent in 2010 <strong>and</strong> 2011, respectively, to $116.57, which isapproximately $15 below 2007 levels. Through YTD June 2012, RevPAR increased2.4 percent to $122.87.It should be noted that in-terminal hotels typically outperform their respective urbancounterparts due to their in-terminal location. The reason for this is that customersare typically willing to pay a premium for the convenience factor of an in-terminalhotel. This is especially true in the case of distressed passengers <strong>and</strong> travelers withearly AM flights who would prefer to be as close as possible to the airport <strong>and</strong> nothave to worry about logistics. As indicated, <strong>DIA</strong> is one of the busiest airportsthroughout the U.S. <strong>and</strong> benefits from its central location. The proposed Subject isprojected to benefit from its in-terminal location based on these factors.Additionally, as the other hotels in the immediate area are at least eight miles awayfrom <strong>DIA</strong>, the proposed Subject is projected to benefit even more so. Given its interminalstatus, the proposed Subject is projected to achieve an occupancy levelabove the overall competitive market. Additionally, because the hotel will beaffiliated with Starwood as a Westin hotel <strong>and</strong> will be located at one of the mosthighly trafficked airports in the U.S., we are of the opinion that the proposed Subjectwill also achieve a premium in ADR.
