HENDERSONVILLE, Tennessee—The United States led the world in new hotel and room openings during Q1 2021, according to global pipeline data from STR’s AM:PM platform. At the same time, the country’s construction activity continues to decline in comparison with pre-pandemic levels.

Over the three-month period, the United States opened 220 properties accounting for 26,057 rooms. Four additional countries opened more than 2,000 rooms during the same period.

2. China (12,418 rooms)
3. Japan (2,499 rooms)
4. Australia (2,382 rooms)

The number of rooms currently under construction in the United States is down almost 34,000 from the country’s all-time construction peak (220,207 rooms in April 2020).

  • In construction: 186,269 rooms
  • Planning: 237,703 rooms
  • Final Planning: 214,287 rooms

Among key U.S. markets, New York (21,055) and Las Vegas (8,579) lead in room construction. Two other markets have 5,000 rooms in that final phase of the pipeline.
