Qatar hotel performance jumped during eventful November
Qatar's occupancy hit 83.9% with RevPAR rising 20.3% year-over-year, driven by Formula 1 and the Doha Film Festival.
Several events, including Formula 1, helped Qatar’s hotel industry post its highest November occupancy level since 2014, according to preliminary data from CoStar, a leading provider of online real estate marketplaces, information, and analytics in the property markets.
November 2025 (year-over-year % change):
- Occupancy: 83.9% (+0.5%)
- Average daily rate (ADR): QAR578.58 (+19.6%)
- Revenue per available room (RevPAR): QAR485.26 (+20.3%)
When excluding the country’s World Cup host year, ADR and RevPAR were the highest for November since 2013.
Daily occupancy peaked on Monday, 24 November (94.2%) during the Doha Film Festival, which was also the night before MWC Doha began. Matching a level recorded on 1 April, this was the market’s highest occupancy since February of this year.
Both ADR (QAR 875.56) and RevPAR (QAR 809.10) peaked on Friday, 28 November, the first night of the Formula 1 Grand Prix, which was further boosted by the final day of the Doha Film Festival falling on the same evening. These levels were the highest since the World Cup in December 2022.
