Hotel101 proudly announces the successful issuance of the third batch of Golden Visas to unit owners of Hotel101-Madrid. Following the initial two batches, this milestone further solidifies Hotel101-Madrid as a compliant and attractive investment for Spain’s Golden Visa program. The program grants residence permits to non-European citizens who make substantial investments in Spain, such as acquiring real estate assets worth at least €500,000. Hotel101-Madrid unit owners fulfill this requirement by purchasing three units per applicant.
With these first three batches completed, Hotel101 Global anticipates a streamlined process for subsequent Golden Visa issuances, with new batches expected to be released at an accelerated pace. This milestone not only underscores the suitability of Hotel101 as a Golden Visa investment but also boosts unit sales revenue, drawing global buyers eager to secure residency in Spain.
A Strategic Fit for Investors and Host Countries
The Hotel101 business model uniquely aligns with the needs of Golden Visa applicants and host countries. Unlike traditional real estate investments, purchasing a Hotel101 unit does not deplete local housing inventories. For investors, it eliminates the hassle of maintaining residential properties abroad, offering a seamless and practical solution.
Driving Revenue and Global Expansion
The first three overseas Hotel101 projects are projected to generate $471 million (PHP 27.2 billion) in foreign currency revenue for DoubleDragon, with units in Madrid, Spain, and Niseko, Japan, expected to sell out ahead of schedule. This success forms part of Hotel101 Global’s ambitious target of operating 1 million hotel rooms worldwide by 2050, including 50,000 in the Philippines. This will position Hotel101 as the largest hotel company in the Philippines and among the top five globally.
A Unique Business Model
Hotel101’s asset-light, scalable model features uniform room designs, averaging 500 rooms per site. This enables DoubleDragon to generate dual revenue streams—first from pre-selling units and later from recurring hotel operations. Its dynamic pricing system, integrated into the Hotel101 Global App, adjusts room rates in real time based on supply and demand, ensuring competitive pricing.
A Global Vision with Local Impact
DoubleDragon, one of the few Philippine companies with a diversified hard asset portfolio, continues to expand its footprint through Hotel101’s innovative concept. The brand’s international growth is poised to become a significant driver of US dollar inflows to the Philippines, strengthening both its domestic and global presence.
With its proven model and strategic alignment with investor needs, Hotel101 is well on its way to reshaping the global hospitality landscape while contributing to economic growth at home and abroad.
