Hotel work continues to be one of construction's hottest markets, with 48.2 million sq ft of new space started last year. That was a 3% annual increase, in square feet, over 2004, which had already increased 4.4%, according to McGraw-Hill Construction Analytics. The emphasis on luxury hotels and alterations gave an even bigger boost to the market measured in dollars. That dollar-valued market increased 21% in 2005, to $7.1 billion, following a 12% increase in 2004 (see table below).
