DoubleDragon Corporation celebrated a construction milestone on Friday, July 17, with the topping-off ceremony for its 702-room Hotel101-Libis project, marking the structural completion of its newest domestic hospitality venture.
The event, held at the property’s site within Robinsons Land Corp.’s Bridgetowne Estate, was attended by leadership teams from DoubleDragon and Hotel101, alongside representatives from its development partners: Megawide Construction Corp., Design Coordinates Inc., and JSLA Architects. Situated close to Robinsons Opus Mall, the upcoming establishment is poised to become the largest hotel in Quezon City by room count upon its completion.
This project aligns with the company’s broader Hotel101 Global Vision, an aggressive expansion strategy aiming to build a portfolio of 50,000 standardized rooms locally and eventually scale to one million rooms across 100 nations.
DoubleDragon is leveraging an asset-light licensing framework driven by its proprietary “HBNB” operational model to secure consistent, long-term recurring revenue.
The company views 2026 as a pivotal operational year, anticipating a record-breaking surge in active accommodations. A total of 2,229 new rooms are scheduled to join its roster, which features the recently inaugurated 680-room Hotel101-Madrid in Spain, a 519-room branch in Davao launching on July 30, a 548-room site in Cebu, and a 482-room destination in Niseko, Japan.
Management anticipates that these fresh locations will substantially elevate the company’s recurring earnings starting this year. These will supplement DoubleDragon’s existing high-occupancy local hotels—the 518-room Hotel101-Manila and the 606-room Hotel101-Fort—as well as its broader commercial portfolio of regional malls, industrial hubs, and corporate offices.
International cash flows are already impacting the company’s bottom line. The Madrid branch began generating revenue in March 2026 and recently achieved a single-day milestone of over €100,000 while at peak occupancy.
Furthermore, the company expects its initial inflows of Japanese yen when the Niseko location opens its doors in December 2026.
Holding total assets worth ₱225.3 billion, DoubleDragon projects that the global footprint of its Hotel101 brand will position the firm as a major pipeline for foreign-currency inflows into the Philippines.
