U.S. Hotel Pipeline

- Final Planning: 266,619 rooms (+9.8%)
- Planning: 333,827 rooms (+38.7%)
“The number of rooms in construction has grown year over year for four consecutive months,” said Isaac Collazo, STR’s VP, analytics. “While upscale and upper midscale continue to dominate, accounting for about 50% of all rooms in the final phase of the pipeline, the pace of activity in these segments has slowed compared to last year. Midscale and economy have shown the most growth, up 42% and 34%, respectively, with newer brands and extended-stay accounting for most of the new construction across the midscale segment.”
