DoubleDragon Corp. has completed the structural works for its 702-room Hotel101-Libis project after holding a topping off ceremony on July 17, marking another milestone in the company’s aggressive hospitality expansion strategy.

Located within Robinsons Bridgetowne Estate and a short walk from Robinsons Opus Mall, Hotel101-Libis is expected to become the largest hotel in Quezon City once operational. The project will also strengthen the Hotel101 Global network as the company works toward its vision of 50,000 uniform Hotel101 rooms in the Philippines and 1 million rooms worldwide.

Why it matters

The Libis property forms part of DoubleDragon’s biggest annual hotel expansion to date.

The company said in a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange on Friday, July 17, 2026 that it is set to deliver an additional 2,229 hotel rooms across its portfolio this year, including the recently opened 680-room Hotel101-Madrid in Spain, the 519-room Hotel101-Davao scheduled to open on July 30, the 548-room Hotel101-Cebu, and the 482-room Hotel101-Niseko in Hokkaido, Japan.

The new openings are expected to expand recurring revenues from Hotel101’s hospitality operations while broadening the brand’s international footprint.

The big picture

DoubleDragon — founded by billionaire businessmen Edgar "Injap" Sia II and Tony Tancaktiong — said Hotel101 Global has begun generating recurring revenues from its Madrid property, which opened in March, while the Niseko hotel is scheduled to begin operations in December. The company said Hotel101-Manila and Hotel101-Fort continue to post high occupancy levels, supporting its asset-light hospitality model.

The company added that 2026 marks a pivotal year as it expects higher recurring income from its diversified portfolio spanning community malls, industrial warehouses, office leasing and hospitality assets in the Philippines and overseas.

Hotel101 Global’s overseas expansion follows its milestone listing on the Nasdaq in 2025, making it the first Filipino company with a subsidiary listed on the US exchange. DoubleDragon also said Hotel101 became the first Filipino hotel chain to operate overseas in 2026, with the brand positioning its global rollout as a potential long-term source of US dollar inflows for the Philippine economy. The company reported total assets of P225.3 billion.  —Daxim L. Lucas | Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
