Ottawa Hospitality Market Report

Diverse range of travellers continue to aid hotel fundamentals. Ottawa’s hotel market benefits from a broad mix of demand drivers, including the federal government, tourism, universities, hospitals, festivals, and convention activity. Parliament Hill and surrounding government offices continue to anchor week-round leisure and business travel, while museums, sporting events, and seasonal festivals help sustain broader leisure demand throughout the year. This balanced profile has helped support relatively healthy operating fundamentals, with 12-month occupancy reaching 70.5 per cent as of April, while ADR and RevPAR rose 4.7 per cent and 5.5 per cent year-over-year, respectively.
