Why New York City Hotels Are Laughing at the Rest of the Country

New York City’s hotel market is doing what New York does best—defying the odds and making the rest of the country a little jealous.

 

While hotels nationwide are grappling with declining tourism and nervous business travel, NYC is out here rocking 82% occupancy rates, packed Broadway shows, and lines outside every museum gift shop.

 

In this episode, I break down why the Big Apple is booming while others are busting. We’ll dive into the city’s secret sauce—from limited hotel construction and strict Airbnb crackdowns to savvy international tourists who’ve clearly done their bagel research.

 

But… (and you knew there’d be a “but”), not everything’s perfect. With rising labor costs, fewer foreign visitors, and contract drama on the horizon, the city’s five-star streak might not last forever.

 

Whether you’re in real estate, hospitality, or just dreaming of your next NYC trip, this one’s got plenty of hot takes, insider insights, and yes, a little Gansevoort rooftop daydreaming.

 

🎧 Hit play—because this episode might just change how you think about the post-pandemic travel boom.

 

If you ever want to buy or sell a property anywhere in the world, our team would be honored to help get you to your next destination.

 

Until next time, stay curious, stay hungry, and as always… stay ALL IN!
