Red Roof Enters Canada with New Red Roof PLUS+ Property in Vancouver

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 7, 2026 // FranchisePR.com // — As part of its global expansion strategy, Red Roof® is expanding its footprint into the Canadian market with its first property in Vancouver, British Columbia. Red Roof has partnered with Richmond Airport Enterprises Ltd., an experienced developer and hotel operator, which will convert the Travelodge Hotel by Wyndham Vancouver Airport to the Red Roof PLUS+ Vancouver Airport. The property is set to open in July, with presales now open in advance of this summer’s global soccer event. Richmond Airport Enterprises brings extensive local market knowledge and operating experience and is well positioned to launch and grow the Red Roof brand in Canada. This is the first of many properties that Red Roof expects to convert in Canada over the next several years.

The new location, Red Roof PLUS+ Vancouver Airport, located at Richmond, British Columbia V6X 3K4, is being renovated. The property, near Vancouver International Airport, Richmond Hospital and River Rock Casino Resort, will feature 160 rooms. It will offer a 24-hour business center (with copying, computer access and printing), an upgraded 24-hour fitness facility, a hot tub and an indoor pool as well as on-site parking, which also accommodates trucks, buses and motor coaches.

“Canadians are already well acquainted with, and trust, the Red Roof brand through frequent travel to the United States. Our brand focuses on delivering smart amenities, modern design and reliable service at a competitive price point — making us an ideal choice for both leisure and business travelers,” said Red Roof President Zack Gharib.

“From a market standpoint, Canada’s lodging sector continues to demonstrate strong fundamentals. Vancouver, in particular, has been a consistent leader in hotel performance growth over the past several years, and is widely expected to continue outperforming the national average, including delivering the highest RevPAR among major Canadian markets,” Gharib continued. “This strength makes Vancouver an exceptionally attractive entry point as we expand our presence for business and leisure travelers in Canada.”

Red Roof’s Vision: To provide the best experience and value in the lodging industry for our guests, owners, team members, partners, and communities.
