Lighthouse Quick Takes - Wimbledon hotel pricing by tournament day

In this Lighthouse Quick Take, Blake explores how hotel pricing power shifted across the two weeks of the 2026 Wimbledon championships. Week one delivered a 17% average year-over-year price gain, with every day posting positive growth, while week two averaged just 9%, with prices falling 12% below 2025 levels on final Sunday.

Blake explains why the 2025 tournament carried a pricing premium tied to Carlos Alcaraz's bid for a third straight title, and why his absence in 2026 changed the benchmark. Listeners will understand why hoteliers need to track event narratives, not just calendars, when setting rates.
