HVS Hotel Development Cost Survey 2010
Elaine Sahlins – January 2011
HVS has tracked hotel construction costs throughout the United States since 1976. The survey considers data for six lodging types: Economy/Budget Hotels, Midscale Hotels w/o F&B (without Food and Beverage), Extended-Stay Hotels, Midscale Hotels w/ F&B (with Food and Beverage), Full-Service Hotels, and Luxury Hotels and Independent Resorts. The 2009/10 hotel development survey reports updated per-room development costs for through the end of 2010. Each year HVS Consulting and Valuation researches development costs from our database of actual hotel construction budgets, industry reports, and uniform franchise offering circulars. These sources provide the basis for our range of component cost per room. New project construction cost data collected each year may increase the range and/or impact the mean and median of the construction cost components. The upper and lower ends of the ranges are adjusted by changes in construction cost components derived from published sources and information from architects, contractors, developers, lenders, and other professionals involved with hotel development projects. This year’s development cost survey reflects actual ranges of development costs in each category. The survey is not meant to be a comparative tool to calculate changes from year to year but represents the true costs of building hotels across the United States. As with previous years’ data, the data represent a wide variety of geographical locations from tertiary markets in the Southwest to mid-Manhattan. The development costs of the same hotel product, say a select-service Fairfield Inn or Holiday Inn Express, can be more than triple the amount from one locale to the other.

    It is common knowledge that the prices people have to pay for accommodation in hotels vary enormously. Furthermore, hotel revenue managers probably posses or more or less accurate intuition of what causes room rates to diverge. However, they do not know how Online Travel Agent sites select the leading hotels to be placed on their first search page. In this respect, some determinants are expected to be associated with hotel prices in a more or less linear way. To say it differently, price differences between hotels underscore the presence or not of some variables expected to influence the latter. It is essential for hotels to understand how they can price their rooms and maximize yield while remaining competitive.

    The need for lodging for individuals after traveling a great distance from home has been around since mankind began living inside of dwellings. To serve this need, hotels, or as they were more commonly referred to, inns, were created as a means to accommodate these travelers. In fact, the first recorded inn in America opened in 1607. Since their introduction they have grown in complexity, amenities, price, and number, however, their purpose has remained to provide paid lodging typically on a short-term basis. Despite a common purpose, it is said that “hotels are as different as the many family and business travelers they accommodate.” Today there are several categories of hotels, each of which serves a slightly unique purpose. They include upscale luxury, full service, select service, limited service, motel, extended stay, timeshare, casino hotel, and destination club. Depending on which category a hotel belongs to, it may provide a refrigerator, oven, stove, microwave, mini-bar, coffee maker, bathrobes, and Jacuzzi bathtubs, along with access to a swimming pool, fitness center, business center, and conference facility. Nevertheless, despite its category, it is customary for hotels in each of the categories to provide guests with a bed, bathroom, television, telephone, and alarm clock.…
