In 2023, Russia’s hotel occupancy rebounded to 62% after dropping to 45% at the pandemic low, but the gap between cities is where it gets really striking. Moscow hit 72% while Siberia stayed at 55% due to seasonality, and luxury properties pulled revenue upward even as budget ADRs grew more slowly.
