Hoteliers see staff costs rise amid pressure on room rates
Increased demand meant revenue per available room (RevPAR) rose 3% year-on-year to £106.98 in the UK and by 1% to £157.45 in London

A rise in staff costs in April, as a result of changes to national minimum wage and employer NICs, combined with pressure on room rates led to a decline in profits for hoteliers, according to RSM.
