We topped Miami, proof this chart probably didn't have a swimsuit competition.Supply and demand are both at historic levels, says STR Global chairman Randy Smith.Monthly room supply clocked in at nearly 148 million rooms in April, a 600,000-room jump in only 10 years. Room demand is also on a tear at 92 million room nights a month, a new record, he says.Denver's adding some 1,900 rooms to the market, including the 500-room Westin coming to the Denver International Airport in 2016 and the 230-room Marriott Renaissance at the Colorado National Bank building.
