Dublin hotel room rates have continued to rise, with the revenue per available room jumping 9.2pc in September and average room rates up 10.1pc, according to data f

rom STR Global.

An under-supply of rooms has helped operators to achieve higher yields from existing room stock.

 The STR figures also reveal that hotels outside Dublin have continued to see an improvement in their performance.

Outside the capital, revenue per available room jumped 12.1pc in August, with occupancy increasing 3.8 percentage points. Average room rates in regional hotels here rose 7.1pc.

 In the year to date, revenue per available room is 9.9pc higher outside Dublin.
