The “HappyRoom” is a fully furnished, 21 square meter unit that delivers unbeatable value with its full suite of features and amenities. Each HappyRoom is equipped with a queen and single bed fitted with globally-awarded Emma® Sleep mattresses, 55-inch television, work desk and universal outlets, kitchenette with refrigerator and microwave, and an ensuite bathroom. This standardization on also creates a highly efficient booking process allowing guests to know exactly what to expect in a Hotel101 wherever they go. Having only one type of room also makes Hotel101’s business model highly portable and replicable, allowing the brand to quickly expand and create a uniform worldwide inventory through direct development, joint venture partnerships, and licensing.
Investing Made Simple
Investors of Hotel101 have absolute ownership over their units as they receive a freehold condominium title as well as a 30% share of gross room revenues of the hotel (excluding taxes) per month, regardless of whether their unit was used or not. Hotel101’s simple investment model allows anyone to enjoy the benefits of real estate investing without the hassle of maintaining it as the company shoulders all fit-out costs as well as operating and maintenance expenses. Unit owners also enjoy 5 free nights annually in the hotel of their investment and 5 additional nights in any Hotel101 in the world.
Hotel101 Global Pte. Ltd. (“Hotel101 Global”) is a Singapore-registered company and the worldwide hotel expansion arm of Philippine-based parent company, DoubleDragon Corporation. Hotel101 is the first global hotel chain with only one signature room, providing a unique and simple platform for investors in the branded affordable hotel segment. Hotel101 was born out of a desire from the founders of DoubleDragon Corporation to create a hassle-free investment platform where investors can diversify their portfolio globally by investing in studio units to be managed as hotels. The name “Hotel101” was inspired by university course naming conventions, where “101” typically denotes basic or an easy to understand course. Thus, the intention of this business model was to emphasize the concept of “Investing Made Simple” for all investors.
DoubleDragon Corporation (“DoubleDragon”) is one of a handful of companies in the Philippines that has accumulated a completed recurring income portfolio of 1.2 million square meters in diversified hard assets. The company achieved this through its four main pillars of leasing, which are in office buildings with its Jollibee Tower and DD Meridian Park complex; retail leasing with its string of CityMall community centers; industrial leasing with its CentralHub warehouse complexes, and finally with its vast portfolio of hospitality projects with Hotel101 projects in the Philippines and overseas. The first 3 overseas Hotel101 projects will be in Niseko, Japan, Madrid, Spain, and California, USA.
These first sites will serve as bridge projects to jumpstart the transition of Hotel101 to becoming a global brand with a truly unique business concept that can be planted in over 100 countries. The target near-term expansion roadmap for Hotel101 Global is to be in these first 25 countries by 2026, namely: Philippines, Japan, Spain, USA, United Kingdom, UAE, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Mexico, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Turkey, Italy, Germany, France and China.
