June occupancy improves across Polish hotels

In June 2026, 90% of hotels surveyed by the Polish Chamber of Hotel Industry reported occupancy above 50%. More than half of the properties filled over 70% of their rooms. Leisure hotels drove most of the year-on-year improvement.

More than half exceeded 70% occupancy

Across the full sample, 53% of hotels reported occupancy above 70%. Fewer than 1% recorded occupancy below 30%.

Business hotels continued to post higher occupancy than leisure properties. A total of 91% exceeded the 50% threshold, while 53% filled more than 70% of their rooms.

Among leisure hotels, 79% reported occupancy above 50%. The rate exceeded 70% at 42% of properties. None recorded occupancy below 30%.

Leisure hotels led the annual improvement

Occupancy rose year on year at 52% of all surveyed hotels. It declined at 30%, while 17% matched their June 2025 result.

The leisure segment recorded the strongest improvement. Occupancy increased at 71% of these hotels, fell at 12% and remained unchanged at 17%.

Results were evenly split among business hotels. Occupancy improved at 42% of properties and declined at the same share. The remaining 16% matched the previous year’s level.

Room rates rose at 61% of hotels

Average room rates were higher than in June 2025 at 61% of surveyed hotels. Rates were unchanged at 16%, while 19% reported a decline of no more than 10%.

The survey does not provide an average room rate or an overall percentage increase for the market. It only shows the share of hotels reporting each direction of change.

July bookings split the two segments

Bookings for July show a clear gap between business and leisure hotels. A total of 71% of leisure properties had already sold more than half of their rooms. At 50% of them, occupancy was above 70%.

Among business hotels, 23% had sold at least half of their available rooms. The largest group, representing 58% of properties, reported bookings of between 31% and 50%.

For corporate accommodation buyers, the figures show that June’s stronger performance is not carrying into July evenly. During the holiday period, higher advance occupancy is concentrated in leisure hotels.

Survey covered 139 hotels

The Polish Chamber of Hotel Industry conducted the survey from 1 to 10 July 2026. It received responses from 139 hotels across all Polish regions.

Urban hotels accounted for 79% of the sample, while 48% were chain-affiliated. The average property had 121 rooms. Business hotels represented 41% of respondents, leisure hotels 17%, and 42% served both segments.
