Hotel Construction Pipeline Asia Pacific Retaining its spot as the most active region in the world for new hotel development, Asia Pacific has 2,635 projects in the pipeline according to the latest data from Tophotelprojects, amounting to a total of 446,260 rooms under construction. As in previous reports, China has the largest pipeline by far, with 1,482 projects planned in comparison to India’s 171. Even more remarkable is that by key count, the People’s Republic constitutes over 75% of rooms planned for the entire region. Chengdu, Shanghai and Suzhou top the chart in terms of number of projects in the works, and it comes as no surprise that nine of the ten most active cities in Asia Pacific are in China. Elsewhere in the region, India and Australia continue to attract interest from international players, a notable announcement being the addition of a 210-key Four Seasons Hotel in Melbourne, set to occupy a newbuild high-rise slated to become the world’s tallest vertical garden when it completes in 2027. Vietnam too is experiencing growth thanks to signings by Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Accor and Radisson across the full spectrum of brands ranging from select-service to luxury and lifestyle.
