The U.S. hotel market is riding a wave of growth, with a new report forecasting steady expansion through 2030—and luxury properties are leading the charge. According to the “USA Hotel Market Outlook 2025–2030” from ResearchAndMarkets.com, luxury hotels dominate the sector thanks to travelers’ growing demand for premium, personalized experiences.
Valued at $260 billion, the market has rebounded strongly post-pandemic. Domestic trips surged past 1.1 billion in 2024, while international visitation rose 5 percent year-over-year to 79 million. That travel momentum, coupled with higher disposable incomes and an “experiences over things” mindset among millennials and Gen Z, has fueled demand at the top end of the market.
