- City hotels across India reported a surge in weekend occupancy during the January‑August period of 2026, with nationwide Friday‑Saturday occupancy reaching almost 67%. Sixteen of the seventeen markets tracked recorded higher weekend occupancies, and Mumbai’s weekend occupancy rose to 77.2% while New Delhi’s increased to 77.4%.
- The rise in weekend stays also boosted performance for Ibis and Ibis Styles properties, which saw weekend occupancies climb by 5‑7% in September 2026 and average daily rates jump 16‑18% year on year, indicating stronger demand for short‑haul leisure travel that could translate into increased passenger traffic for airlines serving these destinations.
