In recent years, San Francisco has seen increased hotel demand but stagnant hotel supply. Now that’s changing, according to the San Francisco Business Times, which reported last week that San Francisco has 4,685 new hotel rooms in the pipeline — 1,400 of which already are under construction. (For comparison, just 253 new rooms opened last year, when San Francisco welcomed a record 25.1 million visitors — the city’s seventh consecutive year of record-breaking tourism growth.)
