With the first few Hospitality Project Trackers in the books and, unfortunately, Summers end getting closer and closer…we thought it was time for a HPT Special Edition. The HPT: Hot Hotel Summer Edition is a bit more robust than our other releases, featuring 20 notable properties Grand Opening, Re-Opening, or Renovating in the Hotel Pipeline. Well…without further ado we bring to you the Hot Hotel Summer Twenty!

With such a list, we will stick to the high notes, and perhaps the highest note in this bunch is the new Virgin Hotel New Orleans. We really shouldn’t have to say much, just take a look for yourself. Posh has never been so posh and Austin Powers must have a penthouse in this tower. Great design and food are gracing this property.

The Godfrey Hotel in Hollywood pulls a similar vibe to the West Coast and gives a cheeky energy in the sun.

Wrapping up the posh list is the Alsace LA, almost dangerously different in all the right places.

Last but not least, nature vacations in the Catskills are back! Callicoon Hills brings some of the most enduring East Coast summers of memory into a modern world.

It looks like the Hospitality available room count may take a good swing forward soon, Disney has announced it will re-open Disney Ports Orleans Resort and it’s 3000+ rooms in October. With that one of the biggest destinations in the U.S. starts to return from a long Pandemic cycle.

The latter part of this year is seeing some interesting openings and re-modelings with The Langham in Boston being renovated in true high style. This property has been reborn and refinished in a way that pulls you into the roaring 1920s, with every modern amenity.

The Hotel Marcel in Connecticut takes high design in another direction, opening the first “Net Zero” hotel in the United States. Becker + Becker re-imagined a new use for the 1967 Marcel Breuer designed building, offering true carbon innovation in Hospitality.

Not far away the Ace Hotel Brooklyn sees an opening and offers an eclectic yet refined vibe to the property by Roman and Williams. We love everything that went into this property including the Art Gallery, in-room D’Angelico guitars, and curated record collections by Rough Trade.

The fresh breathe of new Hospitality projects is always refreshing!
