Qatar’s hotel industry recorded its highest November occupancy since 2014, driven in part by major events such as Formula 1, according to preliminary data from CoStar.
In November 2025, hotel occupancy reached
83.9% (+0.5% year over year), while the average daily rate rose to QAR 578.58
($158.53) (+19.6%). Revenue per available room also saw strong growth,
increasing to QAR 485.26 (+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.
The market’s daily occupancy levels
remained above 70% throughout the month. -TradeArabia News Service
