The city that never sleeps is living up to its name at present, with a conveyor belt of new hotel developments – from Broadway to Brooklyn – mooted for the Big Apple over the next three years, as investors and operators continue to benefit from its universal appeal and growing tourist arrivals (pre-Coronavirus).
Tophotelprojects currently has 45 projects, totalling 10,679 rooms, listed in its database in planning or under construction. According to the data service, eight of those will open this year, 13 are slated for 2022, and five will arrive in 2023. There’s also 13 projects still TBA, including a debut from furniture manufacturer RH.
Amongst the properties on the boards are three from Marriott, which will expand its portfolio by 1,431 keys, as well as a trio of new additions from Aloft Hotels, growing the music-inspired brand’s footprint by 907 keys. IHG’s Hotel Indigo brand will also launch three properties in the city, with a total room count of 430.
Featured below are just a few of the key developments in progress in New York as the city looks to bounce back from the pandemic.

Marking the third collaboration between Atelier Ace and Roman and Williams, following Ace Hotel New York and Ace Hotel New Orleans, the 287-room Ace Hotel Brooklyn will be the group’s second newbuild property.
