In a surprising turn for the global hotel industry, Europe stands alone as the only region experiencing growth in hotel construction and pipeline activity. According to CoStar‘s September 2025 data, Europe has seen a notable 5.2% increase in rooms under construction, totaling 171,589. The overall pipeline activity in Europe also grew by 3.7%, with a total of 428,345 rooms under contract.
The United Kingdom and Germany are at the forefront of this expansion, boasting 24,540 and 22,622 rooms in construction, respectively. This surge reflects a robust recovery and growing confidence in Europe’s travel sector.
In contrast, other regions are witnessing declines. The Asia Pacific region, despite having the highest number of rooms in construction at 492,663, saw a 3.2% decrease. China leads this region with 280,577 rooms, followed by India and Vietnam. Meanwhile, the Middle East and Africa experienced a significant 9.4% drop in construction activity, with Saudi Arabia and the UAE leading the region’s efforts.
The Americas are not immune to this trend, with an 8.8% decrease in construction activity. The United States, however, continues to dominate the region with 138,922 rooms in construction, followed by Mexico, Canada, and Brazil.

Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
