Hotel101 Madrid opened in March 2026 with 680 rooms and has already demonstrated strong early demand, including a single-day occupancy of 100% and more than ₱6.4 million (about US$115,000) in revenue in a single day.

Hotel101 Global plans to add 2,229 operational hotel rooms in 2026 across Madrid, Niseko, Davao, and Cebu, and the 482-room Hotel101-Niseko is slated to open in December as part of the company’s global expansion.

Bangkok project details emphasize four-star amenities offered at affordable prices, including 24/7 reception, all-day dining, a swimming pool, a full-size gym, a business center, and a children's pool, in line with Hotel101’s standard condo-hotel model.
Hotel101 Global signed definitive agreements on July 1, 2026 to build a 770-room, four-star hotel in Bangkok with Thai developer Origin Property PCL, GlobeNewswire reported. The project, called Hotel101-Bangkok, sits on an 8,336-square-meter site along Phahon Yothin Road near Don Mueang Airport and is expected to generate about THB 1.925 billion — roughly USD 58 million — in sales revenue when fully sold.
The deal marks the latest step in Hotel101 Global's push to operate in 100 countries. The Bangkok hotel, slated for completion in 2029, could rank among the three largest hotels in the city by room count, according to Manila Bulletin.
Bangkok Site Chosen for Airport and BTS Access
Hotel101 Global picked the Phahon Yothin Road location for a specific reason: transit access. The site sits beside the Yaek Kor Por Aor BTS Skytrain station and is close to Don Mueang International Airport, one of Bangkok's two major airports. Origin Property PCL — listed on Thailand's stock exchange since 2009 — specializes in building condominiums near BTS routes, making it a natural fit for the deal, TipRanks noted.
The hotel will offer four-star amenities at affordable prices. Those include 24/7 reception, all-day dining, a swimming pool, a full-size gym, a children's pool, a business center, meeting spaces, and a conference center. Origin Property CEO Peerapong Jaroon-ek led the Thai delegation at the signing, while Hotel101 Executive Chairman Rodolfo Ponferrada oversaw the strategic alignment of the joint venture, per GlobeNewswire.
Madrid Prototype Proves the Model Works
Hotel101's confidence in Bangkok is backed by hard data from its Madrid property. Hotel101-Madrid opened on March 10, 2026 with 680 rooms — the brand's first hotel outside the Philippines. By May 19, 2026, it hit 100% occupancy and pulled in over €100,000 in a single day, GlobeNewswire reported. In its first three months, the Madrid property booked more than 45,000 room nights and generated €5.44 million in revenue.
Those results matter because Hotel101 uses a "condotel" model. It sells individual hotel units to investors during construction — Madrid alone raised $136 million in unit sales before opening, per Business Insider. The hotel then runs as a single managed property, splitting revenue with unit owners. This lets the company grow fast without spending its own capital on every new building.
2,229 New Rooms Coming Before Year's End
Bangkok is part of a much larger 2026 push. Hotel101 Global plans to add 2,229 operational rooms this year across four locations: Madrid (680 rooms, already open), Niseko (482), Davao (519), and Cebu (548). The 482-room Hotel101-Niseko in Hokkaido, Japan is slated to open in December 2026, according to GurFocus.
CEO Hannah Yulo-Luccini has called the brand the "world's first truly global one-room hotel chain." The company's long-term goal is 1 million rooms in 100 countries. To fund that roadmap, Hotel101 is exploring a $300 million Series A Perpetual Preferred Share Offering. The company currently carries a market cap of about $1.22 billion — down from its $2.3 billion deemed equity value when it listed on Nasdaq in June 2025, per TipRanks.
Analysts See Promise But Flag Real Execution Risks
Not everyone is sold on the pace of growth. TipRanks currently lists Hotel101 stock as a "Sell" based on trading volume signals. Goldman Sachs initiated coverage of related entities with a "Neutral" rating, with analyst Joe Ritchie warning that "execution and capital requirements remain key risks" for such a rapid global rollout, according to Street Insider.
The gap between the $2.3 billion listing valuation and the current $1.22 billion market cap shows investors are still waiting for proof that the model works across different countries and regulatory systems. Bangkok won't open until 2029, so the next real test comes sooner: the December 2026 Niseko opening, which will show whether Hotel101 can succeed in a seasonal resort market the way it did in urban Madrid.
