In the first half of 2025, nine hotels with a combined capacity of over 1,000 rooms were launched or renovated across various regions of Ukraine, according to Anastasia Fedirko, manager of real estate advisory services at EY Ukraine. The developments span multiple regions and signal growing investment in the country’s hospitality sector.
The expansion comes amid efforts to rebuild and modernize Ukraine’s infrastructure following the ongoing conflict with Russia. While the hospitality industry faces challenges such as labor shortages and supply chain disruptions, the recent hotel projects suggest that private investors and developers are increasingly confident in the long-term prospects of the sector.
According to Fedirko, the new hotel projects are part of a broader trend of real estate development in Ukraine, driven by both domestic and international investors seeking opportunities in the post-war reconstruction. The success of these projects could have a positive ripple effect on related industries such as tourism, logistics, and local employment.
However, experts caution that the hospitality sector’s full recovery will depend on sustained investment, policy support, and the gradual stabilization of the country’s security situation. Despite these challenges, the recent hotel openings and renovations represent a promising sign of economic resilience and growth in Ukraine.
