Colliers’ newly released Q2 2026 Canadian Hotel Investment Report counts roughly $432 million in hotel transactions closed in the quarter, with Western Canada accounting for nearly 70% of mid-year investment volume nationally. Three deals made up about 40% of the quarter’s total, and one of them was in Alberta: the 285-key Sheraton Cavalier Calgary, acquired by Bloom Investment Group in a transaction advised by Colliers Hotels.
The report describes constructive conditions — strong investor demand for high-performing assets, expanding liquidity from new market entrants, and growing lender participation. Deal composition is shifting toward limited-service properties, up 36% in volume, and the year-to-date average price per key has eased to about $163,000.
What it means: Capital is moving into Western Canadian hospitality at a pace the rest of the country isn’t matching. For Alberta operators, that cuts two ways: financing and buyer appetite are there if you’re considering a sale or refinance, and newly acquired competitors typically reinvest in product and marketing — meaning the fight for direct demand in markets like Calgary is about to get sharper.
