New hotels in Canada

Canada's hotel market has spent the past few years catching up to the ambitions of its skylines. Toronto's tallest tower, Vancouver's most storied address, and downtown cores in Calgary and Montreal that had gone a decade or more without a significant new build have all added openings worth tracking. New Hotels lists every verified new hotel opening across Canada — new builds and brand-new operations in converted buildings only; renovations and rebrands of existing hotels are excluded.

Toronto: the country's busiest hotel market

Toronto accounts for the largest share of Canada's new hotel supply. 1 Hotel Toronto and Ace Hotel Toronto brought two distinct lifestyle propositions to the city within the same year, Nobu Hotel Toronto and Canopy by Hilton Toronto Yorkville followed with a luxury-boutique and an upscale-lifestyle option respectively, and Le Méridien Toronto Pinnacle Hotel — Marriott's first Canadian Le Méridien in more than three decades — is confirmed to occupy the first 12 floors of Pinnacle SkyTower, the country's tallest building, once construction and licensing catch up with an opening date that has already slipped from an initial 2025 target.

Vancouver: one conversion defines the market

Vancouver's story this cycle is really one hotel: the former Shangri-La Vancouver's conversion into Park Hyatt's first Canadian property, in the tallest building in the city's downtown core. It is a lower-risk bet than a new build and a telling one — Hyatt chose to buy the city's best address rather than construct a new one. Alongside it, AZUR Legacy Collection Hotel added an independent, family-owned Art Deco-inspired luxury boutique to a market long dominated by international brands.

Montreal and Calgary: smaller markets, larger statements

Montreal added Moxy Montreal Downtown and HONEYROSE Montreal, a Tribute Portfolio luxury-boutique conversion, giving the city both a value-lifestyle option and a design-forward one. Calgary's The Dorian, Autograph Collection was the first hotel built in the city's core in more than a decade — a boutique property stacked above a Courtyard by Marriott inside the same tower, and a signal of how the city is trying to diversify its economy beyond oil and gas.
