Welcome to our annual list of the year’s most-anticipated hotel openings.
According to Lodging Econometrics’ 2023 forecast, a total of 2,354 projects and more than 360,000 guestrooms are in the pipeline this year. Our Hot List spotlights a few dozen of those projects—a curated crop of hotels hand-selected by the editors of Hospitality Design that will not disappoint.
From properties that celebrate their idyllic locations to those that breathe new life into iconic buildings and a number of brand debuts—including Virgin Hotels New York, the Rome EDITION, and Soho House Mexico City—it’s an impressive group that highlights the inventiveness and talent (from both veterans and up-and-comers) that the hospitality industry has to offer.
