Country overview: US hotel development fuelled by New York, LA and Miami 750 421 Madison Silvers

Country overview: US hotel development fuelled by New York, LA and Miami

Almost 250,000 rooms will open across the US in the coming years, according to the TOPHOTELPROJECTS construction database, helped by rapid growth in three of its biggest cities.

Over the next few years, 1,249 hotel schemes with 238,569 keys will launch in the Land of the Free, our researchers report.

Thousands of beds for The City That Never Sleeps

New York, the biggest metropolis in the US, will be the most active city overall with 59 projects and an eye-popping 15,736 rooms. This puts it a long way ahead of nearest rivals LA (47 hotels, 9,111 keys) and Miami (34 schemes, 6,828 rooms).

In terms of opening dates, there’ll be 478 properties with 91,114 keys launching this year, followed by a further 314 schemes with 62,582 rooms in 2023. Things will slow down considerably in 2024, however, with just 89 projects and 18,448 keys earmarked for 2024. Looking further ahead, 368 hotels with 66,425 rooms are currently being mooted for 2025 and beyond.

Four-star properties find favour

Interestingly, new hotel development in the US seems to be skewed towards four-star schemes rather than the luxury market. We’re tracking no fewer than 973 projects accounting for 165,108 rooms in the four-star category, compared to just 276 schemes with 73,461 keys in the five-star bracket.

This trend is reflected in our ranking of the country’s top three brands, which is notable for its lack of luxury flags. Topping the charts is Home2 Suites by Hilton with 35 hotels and 4,375 rooms, just edging out Hampton by Hilton (34 properties, 4,105 keys) and Cambria Hotels (30 projects, 4,115 rooms).

State of the union

As we’ve already seen, there are plenty of hospitality schemes in the works on the US mainland, but one of the country’s most dazzling projects can be found on the Hawaiian Islands. Showcasing the work of a stellar team that includes [au]workshop, AHL, Dianna Wong Architecture + Interior Design, Meyer Davis and Hart Howerton, Mandarin Oriental Honolulu will feature 125 guestrooms and suites in a soaring 743,000 sq ft tower when it opens in Q4 2024. The same building will also host The Residences at Mandarin Oriental Honolulu, a collection of around 100 luxury residences characterised by sophisticated interiors and spacious open-floor plans.

Another development to keep a close eye on is The Godfrey Hotel Detroit, which is currently under construction and scheduled to launch in Q3 2023. This seven-storey, 227-room lifestyle hotel will incorporate the architectural design of Elkus Manfredi Architects and Neumann/Smith, with interiors courtesy of The Gettys Group Companies. It’ll be affiliated with Hilton Worldwide’s Curio Collection brand.

And finally, Conrad Orlando is well worth adding to your watchlist, not least because it’ll boast architecture by HKS – Orlando and interior design from Bamo and Anderson/Miller. The much-anticipated scheme will debut with 433 rooms, including 51 suites and ten family suites, alongside 40,000 sq ft of indoor meeting space, a spa and multiple F&B options. Construction work is well underway on the project, which aims to throw open its doors to the general public in Q3 2023.

Project in focus: Mandarin Oriental Honolulu

Brought to life by an extraordinary design team featuring the likes of [au]workshop, AHL, Dianna Wong, Meyer Davis, Hart Howerton and Molteni&C Dada, Mandarin Oriental Honolulu is shaping up to be a luxury hotel and residences scheme like no other.

This ambitious newbuild will sit within the 36-storey mixed-use tower Mana’olana Place. We find out more.

A landmark development

LA-based investment bank and wealth management firm Salem Partners joined forces with Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group in 2017 to open a hotel and branded residences on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. This project promises to be the crown jewel of the 743,000 sq ft Mana’olana Place, an ambitious development at the heart of the Ala Moana District, adjacent to the Waikiki District and surrounded by the city’s most affluent neighbourhoods.

Thanks to this privileged setting, the scheme will be close to Hawaii Convention Center and Ala Moana Center, the world’s largest open-air shopping destination. Positioned at the intersection of Kapiolani Boulevard and Atkinson Drive, the development, in general, was the first approved project in Honolulu’s Ala Moana transit hub.

Hawaiian-inspired luxury

The development’s hotel will house 125 contemporary guest rooms and suites, while 99 Residences at Mandarin Oriental will take up the tower’s upper floors, combining the comforts of a private home with the services and amenities of a luxury hotel. AHL and [au]workshop are behind the scheme’s architectural design, and Diana Wong and Meyer Davis are responsible for the interiors. Hart Howerton is the landscape architect, moreover, and Molteni&C Dada is working its magic on the Residences.

Together, the designers aim to reflect the local culture, while paying attention to Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group’s roots. Overall, the space has been designed to reflect the Hawaiian tradition of lanai.

On completion, Mandarin Oriental Honolulu hopes to become one of Oahu’s most sought-after dining destinations. The hotel will feature a signature rooftop restaurant and bar with landscaped outdoor terraces and views of Diamond Head, Ala Moana Beach and Downtown Honolulu, along with a sky-lobby lounge, all-day dining restaurant and extensive banqueting, wedding and meeting space.

The 20,000 sq ft Spa at Mandarin Oriental, which is on track to become the largest spa on the island, will complement this with a holistic rejuvenation and relaxation offering across eight treatment rooms, a fitness centre and 80 ft outdoor swimming pool. In addition to these facilities, the hotel and residences will showcase a public water and light installation by Fluidity Design whose other work can be seen in prominent sites such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The anticipated completion date for all of this is Q4 2024.

Five-star Beach Bay resort slated for 2022 opening 1024 655 Madison Silvers

Five-star Beach Bay resort slated for 2022 opening

New designs have been unveiled for the Mandarin Oriental resort approved last week for the Beach Bay area of Bodden Town.

Work on the two, nine-story buildings, which will comprise the resort and residences, is scheduled to begin next year, with a 2022 opening date set for the hotel.

The project is the first of its type in the eastern districts.

Architect’s impressions shared with the Cayman Compass show a tiered, multi-level building surrounded by a lagoon-style swimming pool and dotted with beachfront cottages and restaurants.

Despite some objections from residents on the scale and size of the resort, developer Ryan Melkonian said he believed it would be a great addition to the Cayman Islands tourism product.

“We are confident that the Mandarin Oriental Grand Cayman will be an exciting and welcomed addition to the already bustling and historic Bodden Town,” he said.

“We look forward to continuing our work with the local government and community in making this remarkable project a reality.”

The plans were modified to deal with community concerns about beach access and to relocate the “back of house” facilities away from neighboring residences before they were approved by the Central Planning Authority.

While some residents remain concerned about the size and scale of the development, Spencer Levine of RAL Development Services, which is partnering with Melkonian on the project, said he believed the developer had done its best to compromise and come up with a project that would enhance the area.

For Cayman’s tourism product, he said it was a new direction and the first five-star offering outside the Seven Mile Beach corridor.

“I think it presents a really different experience than what you have on Seven Mile Beach, especially at the luxury level. With an operator like Mandarin Oriental, we will be able to offer an experience that doesn’t exist on the island right now.”

He added, “Our revised plans, now approved, were the direct result of the inclusive planning process, incorporating public comments from other property owners. We appreciated the thoughtful feedback we received from the CPA and we look forward to continuing to work with the community as we build and operate this one-of-a-kind resort.”

He said the revisions included improved beach access through both new and expanded pathways and a reorganized and more comprehensive parking design.

The Grand Cayman Central Planning Authority (CPA) has approved the Mandarin Oriental Grand Cayman Resort after the development team promptly submitted a refined design and improved infrastructure plan for the project in response to CPA and community input. The development team, led by Melkonian Capital Management (MCM) and RAL Development Services, also released updated renderings today that further clarify the modifications to design and layout, providing better insight into the vision for the property.

“The development team is extremely pleased to secure this critical approval, which is the culmination of a process that enabled us to respond to the concerns of the local community. We are determined to be a good neighbor as we build, preserving the Cayman lifestyle that current residents treasure while building a welcoming new destination for local Caymanians and further enhancing tourism opportunities on the island,” said Spencer Levine, President of RAL Development Services. “Our revised plans, now approved, were the direct result of the inclusive planning process, incorporating public comments from other property owners. We appreciated the thoughtful feedback we received from the CPA and we look forward to continuing to work with the community as we build and operate this one-of-a-kind resort.”

Among other things, the updated plans and renderings provide for greatly improved public beach access for all residents through both new and expanded pathways, the consolidation and relocation of the back of house functions into the main hotel building, and a reorganized and more comprehensive parking design, responding to direct feedback from the CPA. In addition, the developers again addressed water treatment with the incorporation of new, more effective, environmentally sensitive systems located in centralized locations, further mitigating community concerns regarding proximity to the surrounding areas. The revised and approved plans also emphasize Mandarin and the Developer’s commitment to healthy living and environmentally friendly development with the inclusion of much sustainability-driven design, engineering, and operational practices.

The new luxury resort will be the first five-star hotel built away from Grand Cayman’s Seven Mile Beach and is designed to seamlessly coexist with both the local community and the site’s beautiful natural environment. Located 15 minutes from the airport, the Mandarin Oriental Grand Cayman will be a 100-room beachfront resort situated at St. James Point, on the southern shore of the island. The site benefits from an elevated position overlooking white-sand beaches, offering guests and residents exceptional sunrise and sunset views.

“We are confident that the Mandarin Oriental Grand Cayman will be an exciting and welcomed addition to the already bustling and historic Bodden Town,” said Ryan Melkonian of MCM. “We look forward to continuing our work with the local government and community in making this remarkable project a reality.”

MCM, the project owner and co-developer, focuses on investment opportunities in private equity, real estate, and public markets. New York-based RAL Development Services, the development partner, is a real estate development firm with a three-generation, 38-year track record of success in building complex, high-profile projects nationally and internationally.

A $35 Million Penthouse Crowns the New Mandarin Oriental in Honolulu 768 432 Madison Silvers

A $35 Million Penthouse Crowns the New Mandarin Oriental in Honolulu

The $1 billion development marks the beginning of a new Oahu.

After years of being known as a mass-market vacation spot rife with overcrowded beaches and waters, Honolulu is going luxe. The latest development? The Mandarin Oriental Residences, which launched sales just last month, and boasts a $35 million penthouse.

The 37-story tower, which has 99 residences in total, is a first for the Ala Moana neighborhood—and for Hawaii—for a few reasons: It brings the Mandarin to the islands for one, and it introduces a slew of high-profile design names for another, including Molteni&C Dada, Meyer Davis and Hart Howerton.

The $1 billion project will house a Mandarin Oriental hotel on the first 19 floors, with the top 17 dedicated to the residences. The project will be located on a prime piece of Oahu real estate: across the street from Ala Moana Center, the world’s largest open-air shopping mall, and a short walk away from the sought-after sands of Waikiki beach.

Prices for condos start at approximately $3.5 million, and, while thoroughly modern in their design, they still pay homage to traditional architecture. Each residence blends elements of indoor and outdoor living via a lanai, an open-sided, roofed porch that originated in Hawaii.  The views are nothing to scoff at either—all offer Pacific Ocean vistas; some even with a glimpse of Diamond Head crater in the distance.
