Expected to Flourish in 2016 with Connected Facilities

HOTEL/CONVENTION CENTER COMPLEXES
QUICK REFERENCE
Section I: United States
Trade show organizers still face a
sellers’ market in the hotel industry
as hoteliers who struggled in the
post-2008 recession are now on
a roll. In 2014, the hotel industry
posted a 3% increase in room
occupancy over 2013 to 62.2%
and collectively generated $163
billion in sales. Those figures
include all classes of the nearly
five million hotel rooms in the U.S.,
according to data from the American Hotel & Lodging Association.
PKF Consulting USA, which tracks hotel
performance, projects double-digit growth
in industry profits through 2016. Pair that
with a scant 1% growth in supply since
2011, and it’s clear that the hotel industry
is enjoying boom times, with occupancy
levels expected to increase at about 2%
annually through 2016.
Of course, higher occupancy generally
means higher room rates, and rates are indeed expected to climb — by 5.2% through
next year. That can be a challenge for show
organizers with budget-sensitive exhibitors
and attendees. But there’s relief in sight.
The construction pipeline has begun
to ease with more than 3,500 new projects in the works as of May, up 11.7%
from the same time last year, according
to the Smith Travel Research (STR)
Pipeline Report issued May 31 by the
Hendersonville, TN-based company.
Most of those projects are the upscale
and upper mid-scale hotels often used
by event organizers and attendees.
Another positive sign: these new
hotel projects are often being linked
more closely with convention facilities
in a manner that embraces the trend toward campus-style facilities that include
lodging, dining and entertainment all
within an area easily accessible from
the convention centers. Some new hotels
will be attached to convention centers,
some will be a block or two away, and

some will become part of a larger campus
designed to offer more indoor-outdoor
opportunities for those who use the
convention centers.
According to STR, the current top 10
U.S. markets for hotel rooms in the construction phase are: New York, Houston,
Las Vegas, Miami, Los Angeles/Long
Beach, Chicago, the Washington, DC
metro area, Anaheim/Santa Ana, Dallas
and Seattle. Together, those cities have
44,252 hotel rooms in some phase of construction, with New York and Houston
alone accounting for 44% of this total.
Here’s a recap of what’s new and
what’s in store.
Recently Opened
In Spokane, WA, The Davenport Grand
Hotel debuted in June and is connected
to the Spokane Convention Center. It has
716 rooms, an 18,079 square feet (sf) ballroom and 63,177 sf of meeting space.
Coming Soon
The Hyatt House New Orleans Downtown
is set to open its 194 suites attached to the
Hyatt Regency New Orleans in November.
In Boston, the Element Hotel by
Starwood is expected to open in December, adding 180 rooms across the street
from the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. Its sister property, an Aloft
Boston Seaport Hotel, will debut its 330
rooms next February.
Spokane Convention Center
In Atlanta, the Hotel Indigo Atlanta
Downtown attached to The Atlanta
Convention Center at AmericasMart
plans to open in January 2016, with
206 rooms and 1,750 sf of event space.
Coming a Little Bit Later
A couple of hotel projects have been
bumped out of 2015 opening dates. One
of those is Hotel X Toronto across from
the Enercare Centre and connected by
skybridge to the Allstream Centre. The
29-story hotel will have approximately
400 rooms and two ballrooms and is
now slated for a 2016 opening.
In Louisville, a 600-room Omni Hotel
with 70,000 sf of event space proposed
across the street from the Kentucky
International Convention Center, has
faced a variety of complex financing
challenges before it can put a shovel in
the ground. The project’s public/private
partnership includes both city and state
governments and is situated on a former
water company site. Construction now
is expected to be complete in 2018.
Boston Convention
In the Pipeline: 2016
In Houston, the new 1,000-room
Marriott Marquis that will attach to the
George R. Brown Convention Center
via a skybridge is expected to debut in
September 2016. The hotel was set to be
topped out just before press time. It will
include 104,000 sf of meeting space in
29 meeting rooms and a Texas Ballroom
with a 4,400 person capacity.
In McAllen, TX, hopes are high that
a new Embassy Suites adjacent to the
McAllen Convention Center will open
as scheduled next Spring. It will add 150
rooms and 12,660 sf of ballroom and
meeting space to the city’s inventory.
The $110 million Hilton West Palm
Beach in Florida is under construction
and also is expected to open next Spring.
Attached to the Palm Beach County Con-
The construction pipeline
has begun to ease with more
than 3,500 new projects
in the works as of May, up
11.7% from the same time
last year, according to the
STR Pipeline Report. Most
of those projects are the
upscale and upper mid-scale
hotels often used by event
organizers and attendees.
