HOTEL MARKET

Over the years, Ostrava has transformed into an attractive destination that welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors annually — drawn by music, sports, culture, and business. However, the city’s accommodation capacity remains insufficient. Ostrava is therefore seeking to expand its hotel market to meet growing demand, particularly during major sporting events and summer music festivals.

The city currently lacks a five-star hotel, and the capacity of existing four-star hotels is limited. Ostrava also does not have a hotel with large congress facilities that could provide a suitable venue for professional conferences — over 900 of which are held in the city each year. Ostrava offers significant potential for at least a three-star hotel catering to visitors seeking quality at an affordable price, a stylish hotel, or a four-star design/boutique hotel offering a unique accommodation experience.

The city has identified several strategic plots of land for hotel construction and is actively seeking partners and investors to expand its accommodation capacity.

  • Ostrava is investing heavily in new developments for both residential and commercial/cultural use. Explore a summary of major projects worth CZK 7 billion, already completed or planned, aimed at attracting new residents and visitors.
  • One of the world’s ten most anticipated buildings is currently under construction in Ostrava – the new Concert Hall designed by renowned architect Steven Holl. Scheduled for completion in 2028, it is expected to draw visitors from around the globe.
  • Ostrava is becoming a major centre for digitalisation and AI. It is home to the national supercomputing centre IT4Innovations, the only facility in the Czech Republic operating a quantum computer. A new Moravian-Silesian Research Library known as Černá kostka (“Black Cube”) is also under construction and will serve as an important hub for digitalisation, science, and innovation.
  • Growing investment in research and development, along with a strong university base, continues to attract professionals from across the Czech Republic and abroad.
  • The city actively supports entrepreneurship, creating a business-friendly environment that draws increasing numbers of visitors.
  • Ostrava provides significant support for sporting and cultural events held in the city. For 2026, the city has allocated more than CZK 179 million to support sport, which will be divided among a total of 248 projects. This year, Ostrava will host major sporting events of international significance, such as the Czech Indoor Gala athletics competition, the WTA Ostrava Open 2026 women’s tennis tournament, the Golden Spike athletics meeting, the Men’s and Women’s World Championships in ball hockey, the J&T Banka Ostrava Beach Pro international beach volleyball tournament, the European Firefighting Championships, the European Women’s Under-22 Softball Championships, and the European Curling Championships. In 2026, CZK 1.766 billion will be allocated to culture, which is 10% of the city’s total planned budget. Ostrava considers culture and the arts to be key factors in urban development and innovation. Supporting them helps to create a vibrant city that attracts people, talent, and opportunities.
  • The city is highly accessible by all means of transport, including air travel — Ostrava Airport is only 25 minutes from the city centre, and three international airports are located within a 150 km radius.
  • A stable economic environment and a Moody’s rating of Aa3 confirm that Ostrava is a prosperous city with promising growth in visitor numbers.
Useful Information


Strategic Plots for Hotel Development

One of the key sites is located in the Poruba district on Martinovská Street. This area is particularly attractive due to its size, proximity to sports and university facilities, and excellent transport accessibility — it lies directly on one of Ostrava’s main traffic arteries and near the D1 motorway.

A hotel built in this location could distinguish itself by offering “added value” such as health, longevity, or wellness programmes. Such services could appeal to both tourists and business travellers and encourage longer stays in the city.

The hotel should provide at least 150 rooms, a conference hall, a restaurant, and underground parking proportional to its capacity.

While this site is very attractive, the most lucrative plots are undoubtedly located in the city centre, specifically in the Spilka area and on Masaryk Square.
