Data
\nfrom CoStar also projects a dramatic increase in the number of hotels opening
\nover the next two years, rising from 749 in 2025 to 1,688 in 2027. <\/p>\n

NATIONAL
\nREPORT \u2014New York City and Phoenix are set to open the most U.S. hotel rooms in 2026, according to pipeline data from CoStar.<\/p>\n

The top
\nmarkets by projected 2026 room openings include: New York City (4,852 rooms),
\nPhoenix (3,650 rooms), Dallas (3,558 rooms), Orlando (1,988 rooms) and Miami
\n(1,954 rooms).<\/p>\n

\u201cFor a
\nsecond consecutive year, New York City leads the nation in expected new-build
\nopenings,\u201d said Isaac Collazo, senior director of analytics at STR. \u201cThis
\nshouldn\u2019t be a surprise, given that the market has also led the country in
\noccupancy for the last three years. That said, both room supply and room demand
\nare still lower today than they were in 2019, showing there is still
\nopportunity for further growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Furthermore,
\nCoStar projects that the number of new hotels opening in the U.S. will double
\nby 2027. CoStar said 749 hotels and 79,116 rooms. That number is projected to
\nincrease to 891 hotels and 99,011 rooms in 2026, and to 1,688 hotels and
\n191,926 rooms in 2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile U.S.
\nhotel development has been slow, there is still optimism around the industry
\nbased on the record number of projects in the pipeline,\u201d Collazo said.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s not surprising that 2025 saw the largest number of new openings
\nsince 2021, and 2026 openings are expected to be back to the pre-pandemic
\nlevel.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Data from CoStar also projects a dramatic increase in the number of hotels opening over the next two…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":102554,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[25689,25685,36439,46905,25687,2184,3365,36440,25688,36089,36432,356,25680,232,2364,25684,36438,9,1492,56,63,65,64,25686,46906,25681,36437,36435,36436,25682],"class_list":{"0":"post-102553","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-asset-management","9":"tag-brands","10":"tag-condo-hotels","11":"tag-data-and-lists","12":"tag-debt-and-equity","13":"tag-development","14":"tag-economy","15":"tag-extended-stay","16":"tag-financing","17":"tag-forecasts","18":"tag-franchising","19":"tag-independents","20":"tag-insights","21":"tag-lifestyle","22":"tag-luxury","23":"tag-management","24":"tag-midscale","25":"tag-new-york","26":"tag-north-america","27":"tag-ny","28":"tag-nyc","29":"tag-nyc-headlines","30":"tag-nyc-news","31":"tag-owners","32":"tag-profile-places","33":"tag-regions","34":"tag-upper-midscale","35":"tag-upper-upscale","36":"tag-upscale","37":"tag-whats-hot-trending"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102553\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102554"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
