Hotel101 Global, a subsidiary of DoubleDragon Corporation, announced today that its Hotel101 Global App has surpassed 1 million registered users, marking a significant milestone in its global expansion plans.
The app, also referred to as the HBNB App, aims to provide seamless hotel experiences with features like self-check-in, booking, and bill settlement. Hotel101 Global CEO Hannah Yulo-Luccini described the app as “the most efficient and easiest to use hotel app globally,” emphasizing its potential to redefine customer convenience in the hospitality industry.
DoubleDragon Chairman Edgar Injap Sia II outlined ambitious growth plans for the app, targeting at least 1 million users from countries where Hotel101 has a presence. “By next year, we intend to complete Hotel101-Madrid and start building up another million users from Spain, followed by Japan in 2026, the U.S., and eventually 1 million users from each of 25 other countries,” he said.
The app’s user base is projected to reach 25 million across 25 countries in the medium term and surpass 100 million users from 100 countries in the long term.
Hotel101 Expansion Fuels Revenue Growth
The first three Hotel101 overseas projects are expected to generate PHP27.2 billion (US$471 million) in foreign currency revenues for DoubleDragon. The company is also preparing for a U.S. listing, further bolstering its financial standing.
Hotel101’s innovative asset-light model, featuring standardized room types with an average of 500 rooms per site, allows DoubleDragon to generate revenue from pre-selling units and recurring hotel operations. Dynamic pricing, integrated into the app, adjusts room rates in real time based on supply and demand.
By 2050, Hotel101 aims to operate 1 million hotel rooms globally, including 50,000 in the Philippines. This expansion is expected to position Hotel101 as the largest hotel chain in the country and among the top five globally.
Strengthening the Philippine Economy
DoubleDragon’s export of the Hotel101 concept is set to become a significant driver of U.S. dollar inflows into the Philippine economy. Its diversified portfolio of prime real estate assets across Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, and overseas provides a robust foundation for sustained growth.
The company’s total equity is projected to exceed PHP100 billion in 2024, highlighting its financial strength and strategic vision.
“We are proud to pioneer an asset-light, globally portable concept with Hotel101, which will not only benefit our company but also contribute significantly to the Philippine economy,” Sia said.
With its expanding global footprint and innovative app-driven operations, Hotel101 is poised to redefine the hospitality landscape both locally and internationally.
