Panorama of the French hotel industry in 2015
As of July 19, 2016, the French hotel industry approved by Atout France totaled 574,329 rooms for 14,061 hotels, i.e. an average capacity per hotel of 41 rooms. These figures suggest a slight drop in the number of hotels and the number of rooms, mainly in the provinces.
The detail of the composition of the park reveals a general stability in the distribution of the offer, with all the segments which maintain equivalent shares in terms of number of hotels and rooms in France. However, the increase in room capacity in Paris and in
Île-de-France was mainly driven by the 4-star and 5-star segments (+ 23% of rooms in these categories in Paris). Nevertheless, the mid-range segment (3 stars) still constitutes the heart of the offer on a national scale, representing 42% of the reception capacity.
