New property openings and the markets they enter, chain earnings and occupancy data, loyalty program changes and their effect on frequent travelers, boutique hotel trends and the renovation and repositioning decisions that define how existing properties compete are the recurring subjects here. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Phoenix are the country's largest hotel markets by room count and revenue, and occupancy, rate and development news from those cities tracks the national industry picture most closely.
