Episode Details

Extended stay dominates today's #hospitality development pipeline—and I spoke with Bruce Ford, SVP at Lodging Econometrics, on No Vacancy Live to break it down.

Here's what we covered:
👉 Developers signed 39% of all new hotel projects as extended stay brands
👉 34% of rooms in the pipeline belong to extended stay
👉 Franchise giants like Marriott, Hilton, and IHG push new prototypes that reshape #hotelconstruction
👉 Dual-brand projects and smaller footprints spread into secondary and tertiary markets

Bruce showed how #extendedstay continues to grow quickly while financing delays and shifting economic conditions force developers to adjust timelines.

If you invest, develop, or operate hotels, you need to know where this wave is heading.
