What the report shows

The window that decidesThe design studio specifies furniture 20 to 10 months before opening. For 67 % of the hotels opening in 2027 that window has closed. The furniture page counts 20 to 12 months, where this window overlaps the general window of all trades (24 to 12 months, as on the home page).

The 2028 pipeline732 hotel projects are dated for 2028, 271 of them under construction. All of them specify their furniture within the next twelve months.

Nearly four in ten without a brandMany 2028 hotels open without an international brand, so there is no central procurement. The decision sits with developer, operator and design studio.

Long-lead trades are further aheadAbout 940 projects are specifying facades and glazing right now, for hotels that open in 2029 and later.
