Revenue per available room (RevPAR) climbed 3.4% to give the city-state an average of SGD 224.42.
Room supply in Singapore actually increased by 5.1% in April, while demand was up 6.7%.
A spike in demand outpaced significant supply growth, which helped boost performance for the month.
STR analysts note that this would be the third consecutive month of ADR and RevPAR growth for Singapore. Additionally, this would be the first increase in ADR for an April since 2014.
