Hotel101-Davao to open July 30

Hotel101-Davao is set to begin operations on July 30, 2026, positioning the 519-room property as the largest hotel in Mindanao by room count, according to Hotel101-Global and DoubleDragon Corp.

The hotel sits on a 5,384-square-meter prime property along Eco West Drive in Davao City.

The property is about a one-minute walk from SM City Ecoland Davao.

Hotel101-Davao’s planned facilities include a concessionaire-operated all-day dining HBNB Kitchen, a fitness gym, a full-size swimming pool, function and conference rooms, and a helipad.

The Davao opening forms part of Hotel101-Global’s broader domestic and international expansion under DoubleDragon Corp., which said it has built a diversified portfolio of hard assets across the Philippines while developing an asset-light hospitality model through Hotel101.

DoubleDragon said Hotel101’s hotel-business model, branded as HBNB, is designed for export to other continents through licensing and long-term recurring revenue generation.

Hotel101-Global said its vision is to build 1 million uniform Hotel101 rooms in 100 countries, mainly through licensing of the HBNB business model.

The company said its 518-room Hotel101-Manila and 606-room Hotel101-Fort in the Philippines continue to operate at very high occupancy levels.

Hotel101-Global also cited the March 2026 opening of Hotel101-Madrid, its first Hotel101-branded property outside the Philippines.

The company said Hotel101-Madrid’s record single-day performance at 100% occupancy showed strong demand for the 680-room property and its potential to generate substantial recurring revenues.

Hotel101-Global said Hotel101-Madrid generated more than EUR 100,000 in single-day revenue, a milestone the company said supports its asset-light, prop-tech hospitality model and focus on long-term recurring revenue from its global portfolio.

Hotel101-Global said it has been generating recurring revenue from hotel operations in Madrid since March 2026.

The company said this will be followed by recurring revenue generation in Japanese yen from the 482-room Hotel101-Niseko in Hokkaido, Japan, which is scheduled to open in December 2026.

Hotel101-Global said Hotel101-Niseko is expected to open in time for the 2026–2027 winter season in one of Japan’s major ski destinations.

DoubleDragon said 2026 will mark the company’s highest number of hotel-room openings in a single year.

A total of 2,229 additional hotel rooms are slated to become operational in 2026: 680 rooms in Madrid, Spain; 519 rooms in Davao; 548 rooms in Cebu; and 482 rooms in Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan.

DoubleDragon said 2026 is also expected to be the year when it begins generating a higher volume of recurring revenues from provincial community mall leasing, industrial warehouse leasing, office leasing, and its hospitality portfolio in the Philippines and overseas.

The company said Hotel101’s global expansion is expected to eventually become one of the major U.S. dollar inflow generators for the Philippine economy.

Hotel101-Global was approved to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol HBNB following its business combination with JVSPAC Acquisition Corp., according to the company.

Reuters reported in 2025 that the Hotel101 transaction valued the company at USD 2.3 billion and was expected to make it the first Philippine-owned company to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq.

DoubleDragon said Hotel101 made history in 2025 as the first Filipino company with a subsidiary listed on the U.S. Nasdaq.

The company said Hotel101 made another milestone in 2026 as the first Filipino hotel chain brand to operate overseas.

DoubleDragon said its team remains committed to expanding Hotel101 into a global brand operating in multiple jurisdictions.

The company said it aims for Hotel101 to “bring a pinch of pride and honor” to Filipinos as the brand grows worldwide.
