Staggering increase in Rotorua’s hotel room rates

Average room rates for the quarter ending June 2022 were above the pre-Covid period of 2019 for four out of the five main centres.

The main mover is Rotorua at $181.59, up a staggering 40.2% followed by Christchurch  at 9.6% and Auckland 4.5%.

Colliers International hotels national director Dean Humphries says the strong demand-led recovery is on the back of higher volumes of international and corporate travelers

“Exceptionally strong room rates being achieved right across the country despite occupancy rates still in recovery phase.”
