Canadian Lodging Outlook Quarterly 2024-Q2

Canadian Hotel demand continues to outperform 2019 levels in terms of overall occupancy and is even neck and neck with 2018 which was Canada’s occupancy peak. ADR’s robust growth above inflationary rates at 4.3% YTD leads healthy RevPAR growth of 4.0% YTD June. In spite of inflation, deflated RevPARs are higher than pre-COVID levels. We have faced many headwinds with consumer disposable income constraints and geopolitical uncertainty; however, hotel performance continues to roar forward!

Checking in at Fairmont Banff Springs and the Luxury Trend for More Intimate Guestrooms

For Canadians, Fairmont is not just a hotel brand but a fixture of our nation’s history. In the decades following the country’s confederation in 1867, towns that connected the Eastern hubs of Montreal, Toronto, Quebec and Ottawa with the still-budding Western ports of Vancouver and Victoria were few and far between. It fell up Canadian Pacific – the company that would eventually sell its hotel division to Fairmont Raffles Hotels International then to Accor in 2016 – to not only build a transcontinental railway but to erect a series of what we now deem iconic hotels along the route.
