Holiday Inn Express saw occupancy rise to 70%, while our Extended Stay brands achieved 80%, exceeding 2019 levels. Demand was particularly strong over the peak summer vacation period in July, across our near-3,000 US hotels in non-urban locations, RevPAR was up 2% vs 2019. Across our US franchised estate, which is weighted to domestic demand in upper midscale hotels, Q3 RevPAR declined by 4% vs 2019; the US managed estate, weighted to upscale and luxury hotels in urban locations, declined by 31%. We have continued to see more group activity and corporate bookings in recent months; during September, there was sequential weekly improvement in demand, with particular strength from construction, logistics and technology business customers.
