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.

Phoenix beat out Dallas (3,558 rooms), Orlando (1,988 rooms) and Miami (1,954 rooms) with more hotel rooms projected to open in 2026.

The new rooms will be spread across 22 hospitality properties, all but one are currently under construction.

The first project completed in 2026 is the 126-room LivAway Suites Phoenix–Tolleson that opened earlier this month at 1225 N. 91st Avenue in Tolleson, just south of 91st Avenue and Interstate 10. This was the first LivAway Suites to open in the Valley, and several others are under construction or being developed.

CoStar’s projections show Phoenix opening 46% more hotels in 2026 compared to the 15 that opened in 2025.

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.
