Morphology
The meaning is a straightforward noun–noun composition: it denotes the 'occupancy' (the number/proportion of people or rooms used) of a 'hotel', so the overall sense is directly derivable from the constituents. This is a common, non-idiomatic compound found cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Hotel occupancy comes from the simple image of hotel rooms being occupied by guests; imagine a hotel as a row of seats and occupancy is how many are filled. That's why it means the 'percentage' of rooms in use.
