What does it cost in the United States and around the world to build a 2 or 3-star (middle-of-the-road) hotel? Compass International gets asked this question a lot, so we have compiled a cost per square foot & square meter benchmark report on 25 U.S. and International locations. This book was designed to help simplify the hotel building cost calculations that determine the cost of building a hotel and can be viewed or downloaded below.
Notes / Comments: It is difficult to compute the exact cost to build a hotel because there are so many variables to the square foot (SF) / square meter (M^2) unit cost, such as:
