Habbohotel.ca is a social networking website owned and operated by Sulake Corporation.

Habbohotel.ca is aimed at teenagers, and it combines the two concepts of chat rooms, which are presented in the form of rooms in a virtual Hotel and user pages which are displayed on the website. The original conception of Habbo, namely Mobiles Disco, was created as a small project by two Finnish men, Sampo Karjalainen and Aapo Kyrölä.

The HabboHotel.ca chat room that make up each website are large, computer-generated graphics that use isometric projection. The chat rooms are located inside the virtual Hotel, which is referred to as Habbo Hotel.

The chat rooms are presented as Hotel rooms, just as inside a real Hotel. The chat room is accessible from the website and can be launched via a popup window.

The user pages are displayed on the website and allow members to creatively express themselves and share content with each other. The pages are tightly linked to the chat room and users can access each other's profiles via the chat room. The user pages also allow users to create groups, in which members can join and partake in the discussion forums.

The service is centred around Habbos, virtual representations of its members. Each character has a different name, and is identified solely by this name. The service maintains it's revenue from credits, which are bought using real-life currency. These credits are then used to buy products such as virtual furniture for placement inside the Hotel rooms and stickers which can be placed on the user pages.

The service began in 2000 and has expanded to 31 local communities,[1] with new communities opening in Panama, Uruguay and Venezuela. As of January 2008, over 86 million avatars have been created worldwide and there are over 8 million unique visitors to the Habbo websites around the world every month,[1] with 75,000 avatars being created every day.
