Hotel 101-Davao: Mindanao’s Largest 519-Room Hotel Launches on July 30

Hotel101-Davao is set to officially open its doors on July 30, 2026, marking another major milestone in the expansion of the Hotel101 brand. With 519 rooms, the property will become the largest hotel in the Mindanao region, further strengthening DoubleDragon Corporation’s growing hospitality portfolio.

Strategically located on a 5,384-square-meter prime property along Eco West Drive, Davao City, Hotel101-Davao offers exceptional accessibility, sitting just a one-minute walk from SM City Davao. Designed to cater to both business and leisure travelers, the hotel features a wide range of modern amenities, including a concessionaire-operated HBNB Kitchen all-day dining restaurant, a fully equipped fitness gym, a full-size swimming pool, function and conference facilities, and a helipad.

Strengthening Hotel101’s Rapid Expansion

The opening of Hotel101-Davao forms part of DoubleDragon Corporation’s broader vision of building one of the world’s largest standardized hotel networks through its innovative Hotel101 (HBNB) business model.

Unlike traditional hotel operators, Hotel101 combines a standardized hospitality concept with an asset-light, technology-driven operating model that the company believes is highly scalable across international markets.

The long-term strategy supports Hotel101 Global’s ambitious vision of establishing one million uniform Hotel101 rooms across 100 countries, primarily through licensing its proprietary HBNB model, creating sustainable and recurring revenue streams worldwide.

Strong Performance Fuels Global Growth

Hotel101 continues to demonstrate strong operational performance across its existing properties.

In the Philippines, both the 518-room Hotel101-Manila and the 606-room Hotel101-Fort continue to record consistently high occupancy rates, highlighting sustained demand for the brand’s standardized accommodation offering.

Internationally, Hotel101 recently achieved another milestone with the successful opening of Hotel101-Madrid in March 2026—the company’s first overseas property.

The Madrid hotel has delivered exceptional early performance, including achieving 100% occupancy and generating more than €100,000 in revenue in a single day, reinforcing the strong market demand for the Hotel101 concept and validating the company’s scalable, asset-light hospitality model.

Japan Next in Hotel101’s International Journey

Following Madrid and Davao, Hotel101’s global footprint will continue expanding with the opening of Hotel101-Niseko in Hokkaido, Japan, scheduled for December 2026.

The 482-room property will begin generating recurring revenues in Japanese yen, further diversifying Hotel101 Global’s international revenue base.

2026 Marks Hotel101’s Biggest Expansion Yet

This year represents the most aggressive expansion period in Hotel101’s history.

A total of 2,229 new hotel rooms are scheduled to become operational in 2026, including:

• 680 rooms at the recently opened Hotel101-Madrid, Spain
• 519 rooms at Hotel101-Davao
• 548 rooms at Hotel101-Cebu
• 482 rooms at Hotel101-Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan

The rapid rollout reflects DoubleDragon’s continued confidence in the Hotel101 model as demand grows both locally and internationally.

Driving Long-Term Recurring Revenue

Beyond hospitality, DoubleDragon expects 2026 to become a transformative year as recurring revenues continue to grow across its diversified portfolio, which includes community malls, industrial warehouses, office properties, and hospitality assets both in the Philippines and overseas.

The company also believes the continued international expansion of Hotel101 will eventually become a significant contributor of US dollar inflows into the Philippine economy through its growing overseas operations.

Hotel101 has already reached several historic milestones. In 2025, it became the first Filipino company with a subsidiary listed on the U.S. Nasdaq, while 2026 marked another breakthrough as the first Filipino hotel chain to operate internationally.

As Hotel101 expands across new markets, DoubleDragon remains committed to transforming the homegrown hospitality brand into a globally recognized name.

Guided by innovation, entrepreneurial grit, and a long-term vision, the company aims to establish Hotel101 in key destinations around the world—bringing world-class Filipino hospitality to international travelers while creating a source of pride for the Philippines on the global stage.
