asianhospitality on 23 Jan 25CALIFORNIA'S HOTEL DEVELOPMENT hit a decade-low in 2024, with just 35 new hotels and 3,798 rooms added, according to Atlas Hospitality Group. This marks a 34 percent drop in hotel openings and a nearly 40 percent decline in new rooms compared to 2023. Atlas Hospitality Group's 2024 Year-End California Hotel Development Survey attributed the decline to rising costs, high interest rates and reduced lending for new projects. "We predict the hotel construction outlook will remain weak in the near term, as investors focus on acquiring existing hotels at discounts to replacement costs," said Alan Reay, Atlas Hospitality's president.
