The 143-room hotel, on the site of a former motel, is set to cash in on the tournament, with its May opening under Valencia Hotel Collection.
“ Given the property’ s proximity to Arlington’ s major sports venues and its boutique positioning, demand is expected to extend beyond match days into shoulder dates, with compression felt across the full event window,” she said.
At the tournament’ s peak, Caravan Court is projecting ADRs exceeding $ 900,

reflecting its limited boutique inventory, heightened international demand and experience-driven accommodations. Rates are expected to remain elevated across pre- and post-event shoulder nights as travelers arrive early and extend stays, added Darden. Occupancy is forecasted at approximately 95 % or higher throughout match dates, with sustained high occupancy on surrounding shoulder dates.“ The hotel expects to sell out well in advance, supported by contracted corporate demand and strong transient pickup as the event approaches,” she said.
