Capital-centric
London has the strongest pipeline of work of any European city according to the recent Europe Hotel Construction Pipeline Trend Report. 果冻影院鈥檚 construction industry research shows that the pipeline of hotel projects in London to be approved since 2020 is worth 拢740 million.
London has larger hotel developments than the rest of the UK. The value of the average hotel project in the pipeline in London is 拢12.3 million compared to a national median figure of 拢7.2 million.
Two major schemes from the capital鈥檚 pipeline are already moving forward with tenders being returned for a 拢40.7 million hotel in West Drayton where work should start this summer (Project ID: 16329489) and construction of a 拢20 million Hampton by Hilton hotel near Heathrow is also due to start in May (Project ID: 18315386).
Regional share
Large hotel projects are also moving out of the pipeline in the regions; including the 拢35 million Heart of the City II in Sheffield, where work recently started (Project ID: 18347618). And RED Construction has also been appointed to build the 拢76 million Wellington Hotel in London (Project ID: 16019619).

Larger than average hotel projects are also being planned in Scotland, where the average scheme in the pipeline is valued at 拢11.9 million.
Work is due to start this summer on the 拢100 million Met Tower Hotel in Glasgow, which will comprise an 11-storey 26-bed hotel on Cathedral Street (Project ID: 19022697). A contract has been awarded to BAM Construct for a 拢38.5 million fit-out of the W Hotel in Edinburgh (Project: 21090752).
Prospects improving

The most recent predicts a rise of 25% in hotel and leisure construction project starts this year followed by an increase of 17% next year. With a strong pipeline of approved projects, the hotel construction sector is well placed to offer opportunities in the future.
