Tucson’s Evolving Hotel Supply

Tucson’s hotel supply and investment interest have evolved in the past few years. From the addition of boutique hotels in the downtown area to new extended-stay options near hospitals and office parks, the city is experiencing one of its most dynamic hotel development cycles in decades. Over the past several years, many economy and midscale hotels have been converted to other uses, including multi-family and affordable housing, as well as shelters and transitional housing; this trend has been prevalent in several major markets, including nearby Phoenix. On the other hand, high-end hotels have been either built new or converted from other uses.
