Phoenix is set to open more new hotels rooms in 2026 than almost any other major city in the U.S.
Data released this month by CoStar showed that 3,650 new hotel rooms are projected to open in Phoenix this year. The only city with more rooms projected to open in 2026 is New York, with 4,852.
The new rooms will be spread across 22 hospitality properties, all but one are currently under construction.
Phoenix is not only slated to open more hotels in 2026 compared to 2025, but also open bigger ones. The 3,650 new projected hotel rooms in 2026 is up 117% from the 1,680 that opened in 2025.
