dc.description.abstract	Knowledge of urban hotel development patterns is key to proper planning and management of urban destinations. However, there is a paucity of empirical studies on the development patterns of hotels within the African context. The purpose of this study was to analyze the hotel development patterns in the Kumasi metropolis of Ghana. The study revealed that three main periods which coincide with the history of tourism development, characterized hotel development in the metropolis. Again, it was revealed that higher rated hotels (one to our stars) were located in the core of the metropolis whilst budget hotels dominated in the periphery. It was therefore concluded that hotel development is closely related to tourism development in the metropolis	en_US
