Qatar hotels record 13% occupancy growth in Q2 2025

Qatar’s hospitality sector recorded strong performance in the second quarter of 2025, with occupancy and revenue per available room (RevPar) both posting double-digit growth.

 

New research from ValuStrat shows RevPar up 21% year-on-year to QAR322 (US$88), while occupancy climbed 13% from the same quarter in 2024 to reach 71%. 

 

The average daily rate (ADR) increased 7% to QAR453 (US$124), with five-star hotels achieving an ADR of QAR653 (US$179).

 

With high demand pushing up rates, ValuStrat estimates an additional 845 rooms will be added to the existing 41,240 by the end of this year.

The new keys, primarily in the four- and five-star categories, will expand the country’s total inventory to 42,085 rooms, reinforcing Qatar’s position as one of the Gulf’s most dynamic hospitality markets.

 

Key 2025 openings include the fully operational Raffles Doha and Fairmont Doha, the debut of The Ned Doha and the launch of Waldorf Astoria Doha West Bay, Rosewood Doha and Katara Hills LXR Villas, adding premium capacity for Qatar’s growing luxury and MICE offerings.

 

The additional supply will help accommodate increasing international arrivals. 

 

Qatar Tourism reported a 2.2% rise in visitor numbers in the first nine months of 2025, reaching more than 3.5 million arrivals. Long-haul markets are driving much of this growth, with visitors from China up 37% and from Australia up 31%.
