Canada’s hotel industry records fifth consecutive month of growth in September

 

Canada’s hotel sector continued its steady recovery in September 2025, recording year-over-year increases in all major performance indicators for the fifth consecutive month, according to data from CoStar, a global provider of commercial real estate analytics and insights.

National results (compared to September 2024):

• Occupancy: 74.0% (+0.2%)
• Average Daily Rate (ADR): CAD237.20 (+4.2%)
• Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR): CAD175.55 (+4.4%)
• The sustained growth reflects continued travel demand and a solid recovery in both leisure and business segments across key regions.

Among Canada’s provinces and territories, Newfoundland and Labrador recorded the highest year-over-year increase in occupancy, rising 15.5% to 79.6%. Manitoba led the nation in rate and revenue growth, with ADR up 13.5% to CAD189.03 and RevPAR surging 29.0% to CAD146.75.

Across major markets, Edmonton posted the strongest overall performance, showing double-digit growth across all indicators. The city’s occupancy climbed 6.6% to 62.2%, ADR rose 13.6% to CAD164.70, and RevPAR increased 21.1% to CAD102.41.

The data underscores a broader national trend of resilience in Canada’s hotel industry through 2025, supported by stable domestic demand, sustained event activity, and improved travel sentiment heading into the final quarter of the year.
