Which hotels are already under construction for 2027? Four projects from our database show what's coming next.

A lot can happen before 2027, but hotel pipelines don’t wait around. Projects planned for that year are already under construction or in planning, and a few stand out for their scale, location, or the way they’re changing an existing property.

From a new five-star build on the Red Sea to a historic conversion in Edinburgh, the openings planned for 2027 span very different corners of the industry. Some are ground-up builds chasing luxury positioning, while others are repositioning existing buildings under new brands.

These four projects are pulled from the THP database, and they’re just a small sample of what’s tracked there. Beyond opening date, the database lets users filter by star rating, hotel brand or chain, region, phase of construction, hotel type, and whether a project is a new build or a renovation. That makes it possible to narrow in on exactly the kind of pipeline activity that matters most for suppliers, whether that’s tracking a single brand’s global expansion or watching what’s happening in one specific market. Here’s a closer look at what’s coming in 2027.
