The property is set to open in July, with presales now available ahead of this summer’s global soccer event. This is the first of many properties that Red Roof expects to convert in Canada over the next several years.
The hotel is being renovated with a significant comprehensive capital investment. The upscale property, which is near Vancouver International Airport, Richmond Hospital and River Rock Casino Resort, will feature 160 rooms. It will offer a 24-hour business center, an upgraded 24-hour fitness facility, a hot tub and an indoor pool, as well as on-site parking, which also accommodates trucks, buses and motor coaches.
“Canadians are already well acquainted with—and trust—the Red Roof brand through frequent travel to the U.S.,” said Zack Gharib, president, Red Roof. “Our brand focuses on delivering smart amenities, modern design and reliable service at a competitive price point—making us an ideal choice for both leisure and business travelers.”
He added, “From a market standpoint, Canada’s lodging sector continues to demonstrate strong fundamentals. Vancouver, in particular, has been a consistent leader in hotel performance growth over the past several years and is widely expected to continue outperforming the national average, including delivering the highest RevPAR among major Canadian markets. This strength makes Vancouver an exceptionally attractive entry point as we expand our presence for business and leisure travelers in Canada.”
The hotel’s 160 rooms will feature microwaves, mini-fridges, irons and ironing boards, hair dryers, desks, in-room safes, 65-in. cable TVs with expanded cables, alarm clocks/radios, free local and long-distance calls (within Canada), free high-speed WiFi and lounge chairs.
“Richmond Airport Enterprises Ltd. is honored to contribute to Red Roof’s global expansion and provide guests with the Red Roof experience,” said Salim Mukadam, SVP, operations, Richmond Airport Enterprises Ltd. “This launch reflects a true partnership and positions Red Roof PLUS+ Vancouver Airport as a standout addition to the market.”
