Cost to build a hotel

There is an enormous range of costs per square foot for hotel construction. This is because different types of hotels include varying amenities, areas, and materials.

5-Star	$332 – $400	$400 – $550

Hotel Construction Cost per Room

While square footage is a popular way to break down the construction costs, many hotels are also priced per room. This makes an easier determination of the project’s total cost by projecting the number of occupants, rather than the overall space. Like square footage, the cost to build a hotel per room varies on the type of hotel, although the location is important too:

Hotel Type	Cost per Sq.Ft. Rural Area	Cost per Sq.ft. Urban Area
Motel	$134 – $170	$180 – $234
3-Star	$190 – $245	$250 – $375
4-Star	$260 – $345	$350 – $410
5-Star	$332 – $400	$400 – $550

Cost of Building a 5-Star Hotel per Room

Five-star hotels have an average cost to build per room of around $604,200. They have many of the same features as a 4-star hotel, but they may have more of them or better quality. In addition, 5-star hotels often include additional services for their guests than a 4-star hotel may. The rooms are usually much larger, so the hotel may have fewer rooms in the same square footage.

Cost of Building a 4-Star Hotel per Room

The cost per room to build a 4-star hotel is around $318,200 on average. In a 4-star hotel, many of the features that were considered optional for a 3-star hotel are now standard. This includes restaurants, gyms, pools, spas, and communal areas. The materials used are usually of higher quality as well.

Costs of Building a 3-Star Hotel per Room

On averate, the cost to construct a 3-star hotel per room is of $221,000. Three-star hotels may have amenities and features for guests, but these are optional and vary by hotel. This is considered a standard-quality hotel with good quality but not luxurious features. There may be amenities like gyms and restaurants but not always.
