London has more new hotels rooms in development than Italy or Portugal

Howard Kennedy

A dizzying set of statistics from Hotel Management. Of the United Kingdom's 38,590 rooms in development, over a third (13,516 rooms) are in London. Contrast that for a moment with the whole of Poland (14,958 rooms), Portugal (10,206 rooms) and Italy (omitted from the report, but according to data from Horwath HTL in 2018, there are around 12,000 rooms in development in Italy, including rebrands).

And neither the United Kingdom nor the London stats are even a record...

The cities with the largest pipelines are London with 80 hotels and 13,516 rooms; Paris with 54 hotels and 8,093 rooms; Dusseldorf, Germany, with 50 hotels and 10,032 rooms; Istanbul with 31 hotels and 5,566 rooms; and Lisbon, Portugal, with 30 hotels and 2,911 rooms.
