United States Hospitality Industry in 2026: Structure, Key Players, and Buyer's Data Guide

Verified datasets across the US hospitality sector — refreshed monthly for sales, marketing, and market-intelligence teams

Summary: US hospitality crossed $1.1 trillion in FY2025 across hotels, vacation rentals, OTAs, food service, and casinos. Regulation runs through FTC, ADA, DOL, FDA, and state tourism boards. Datasets cover hotel brands, STRs, OTAs, and food service.

The United States hospitality industry is the largest addressable market in its category globally, generating roughly $1.1 trillion in annual revenue across the fifty states. US hospitality combines global brand operators (Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt) with a fast-growing short-term rental layer led by Airbnb and Vrbo. Consolidation runs alongside a long tail of regional and specialty operators — every state carries active players plus a mid-market layer that rarely appears in a single register.

For B2B sales and research teams — SaaS platforms, enterprise vendors, distributors, staffing agencies, market-research firms — the addressable universe is enormous but scattered across state registrations, industry associations, and public disclosures. Our verified US hospitality directory consolidates the discoverable operators into a single CSV kept fresh against FTC + state AGs + ADA + DOL disclosures and industry-body updates. Buyers often pair this dataset with our US Travel & Tourism, US Food & Beverage and US Events catalogs when building multi-vertical outreach.

Combined, the top-tier operators capture the majority of tracked revenue, but the growth frontier sits with mid-market brands, franchise networks, and challenger startups building direct-to-consumer or vertical-SaaS motions.
