Why Select Service Hotels Are Coming to the City Center
By JLL
July 29, 2019 — It used to be that guests at every downtown hotel expected bell staff, a concierge, extensive meeting spaces and spacious rooms. But these days, guests are getting comfortable with a lot less.
Select service hotels with fewer amenities and smaller rooms — once confined to suburbs, small towns and the areas surrounding airports — are growing in city centers. This industry sector has seen double-digit percentage change growth in terms of the number of rooms that exist in major U.S. markets from 2015 to 2019, according to JLL research.
Hotel brands like Hilton Garden Inn, Tru by Hilton, Courtyard by Marriott and Hyatt Place and many others are limited-service versions of the flagship brands in their names.
“Select service hotels have become the darling of the industry,” says David Black, Managing Director, JLL Project & Development Services, Hotels & Hospitality. “Major hotel brands have become more creative in their offerings, blurring the lines between select service, soft brands and a traditional hotel.”
The growth has been dramatic across the U.S. In the Los Angeles metro area (MSA), for example, there will be 37,000 select-service hotel rooms in 2019, up from 30,000 in 2015, according to JLL. The Miami MSA will have 18,000 rooms this year, up from 14,000 four years ago. Those numbers are 57,000 and 47,000 respectively in the Washington DC MSAs.
“Much is driven by the popularity of the product with consumers,” Black says. “But it is also driven by significant advantages for owners and developers due to lower development and operating costs.”
Changing consumer preferencesWhat consumers expect from their hotel is driving the shift. More business and leisure travelers are finding that their travel needs are adequately satisfied with streamlined services, even in mid- to upper-tier hotels, says Andrea Grigg, Managing Director, Asset Management, JLL’s Hotels and Hospitality Group.
Instead of having a full-service restaurant, or even room service, on-demand services like Postmates or Uber Eats let travelers have their food of choice delivered.
“Today’s tech savvy travelers, particularly millennials, are looking for the perfect package of an unpretentious lodging experience and thoughtful design connected to the local community—not cookie cutter spaces, overpriced mini-bars, and old-fashioned coffee machines,” Grigg says. “They are happy to pay lower rates for smaller rooms if these other elements are met.”
