Türkiye ranks fourth in Europe in hotel construction pipeline, with 117 projects and 17,856 rooms, according to Lodging Econometrics' (LE) second-quarter Europe Hotel Construction Pipeline Trend Report.
The United Kingdom leads the list with 306 projects and 43,515 rooms, followed by Germany with 178 projects and 28,637 rooms, and France with 120 projects and 12,831 rooms. Portugal came fifth after Türkiye with 114 projects and 14,247 rooms.
These five countries combined account for 50 percent of the projects and 47 percent of the rooms in Europe's total pipeline.
Why it matters
Türkiye's strong pipeline position signals sustained investor confidence in its hospitality sector, even as the country navigates economic headwinds. The data suggests that international hotel brands and developers continue to commit capital to new supply, which will expand room inventory in key destinations over the coming years.
For tour operators and DMCs, the pipeline points to future capacity increases, potentially easing supply constraints in popular markets. For hotel investors and developers, the comparative ranking with Western European peers highlights Türkiye's competitive standing in attracting new projects.
The concentration of pipeline activity in the top five countries—accounting for half of Europe's projects—indicates that development remains clustered in established markets, with Türkiye among the primary beneficiaries of this trend.
