Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano, developer Alfred Weissman Real Estate and local officials broke ground on a hotel in Yonkers Tuesday.
The new 150-room Hampton Inn and Suites will be located at 555 Tuckahoe Road.
It is just the latest in a string of hotels currently under construction in Yonkers.
A new Courtyard by Marriott is being built across from an existing Residence Inn on Executive Boulevard, and a new Hyatt Place Hotel is going up at the Cross County Shopping Center.
Spano says hotel developers are attracted to Yonkers because of the city's central location.
Construction on the new hotel is expected to be completed in the fall of 2015.
The developers say they are looking to build even more hotels in Yonkers.
