HOTEL101 Global Holdings Corp., a subsidiary of Philippine-listed DoubleDragon Corporation, topped off 482-room Hotel101-Niseko in Hokkaido, Japan, on Friday, December 5.
Set to open in December 2026, the property is perfectly timed to welcome guests for the 2026-2027 winter season in one of the world’s most celebrated ski destinations.
More than just a hotel, Hotel101-Niseko – set to be the largest in Hirafu by room count – introduces an innovative “condotel” model that combines exceptional value with world-class amenities and unmistakable Filipino warmth. Every one of the 482 identically designed, efficiently laid-out rooms offers practical comfort tailored to the needs of modern travelers — whether families, couples, or groups of friends chasing powder in Niseko.
In addition, guests can look forward to unparalleled amenities for the value segment such as:
* all-day dining restaurant
* dedicated meeting spaces and business center
* indoor swimming pool and hot mineral onsen bath
* sauna and wellness facilities
* 24-hour front desk and concierge
* ski lockers and ski-in/ski-out convenience
* on-site convenience store
* complimentary shuttle service to Grand Hirafu lifts
Located in the vibrant heart of Hirafu, Hotel101 Niseko places visitors step away from Niseko’s legendary powder snow, renowned restaurants, and lively après-ski scene, while offering a welcoming sanctuary that reflects the heartfelt hospitality the Philippines is famous for worldwide.
Niseko, a small mountain village that now attracts more than two million international visitors annually from over 30 countries, continues to solidify its reputation as Asia’s premier alpine destination. With the rise of Hotel101 Niseko, a bold new landmark joins this global playground — proof that Filipino innovation and hospitality have earned their place among the very best in the world.
Construction remains on schedule, with the property counting down to its grand opening in time for the 2026 winter season.
Hotel101, listed on Nasdaq (HBNB) with a market capitalization of approximately US$1.9 billion as of November 27, 2025, is an asset-light, prop-tech hospitality platform pioneering a global standardized “condotel” business model. It aims to disrupt the global hotel and hospitality sector through its unique tech-enabled business model that positions it to generate revenues twice: first from the advance sale of individual hotel units during the construction phase; and second, from long-term recurring revenue derived from day-to-day hotel operations.
Hotel101 aspires to operate 1 million rooms across 100 countries worldwide, with an initial 25 identified priority countries for the medium term./PN
