What the curve means for planners
Month choice moves the bill in Omaha. The same room class costs $95 a night in December and $182 in June, a 48% spread.
Against the city average of $115, December runs 17% under and June runs 58% over. That is a large enough gap to change how many nights a fixed budget covers.
If the destination is fixed but the dates are not, this is the market where it pays to schedule around the curve. Moving a multi-night group stay out of June changes the total more than most rate negotiations will.

This page is one market from a 50-city study of how hotel prices move through the year.
How we did this
The figures on this page come from the 128,536,941 hotel prices that business travelers saw when searching on Engine, a platform companies use to book work trips, across 50 U.S. markets over roughly two years (May 2024 to April 2026).
What we measured. Every data point is a par rate, meaning the cheapest publicly available nightly rate a hotel offered at the moment of a live search. These are the prices companies see while planning a trip, not Engine's negotiated rates and not the prices ultimately booked. Real corporate rates typically sit below what is shown here.
Whose trips we looked at. We focused on planned travel and included only searches made 10 to 180 days before check-in, limited to business accounts, with internal, test, and promotional activity excluded.
A few caveats. These are advertised rates, not final booked prices. Monthly figures pool multiple years to smooth year-to-year noise, so an unusually large one-off event can occasionally push a single city-month higher than a typical year.
