HOTEL101 Global Holdings Corp., the hospitality subsidiary of DoubleDragon Corporation, officially opened the doors of Hotel101-Madrid on March 10, marking a historic milestone as the first-ever Filipino homegrown hotel brand to operate outside the Philippines.
The 680-room Hotel101-Madrid – now one of the top five largest hotels in Spain – is located in the dynamic Valdebebas district. It is now open for bookings via the Hotel101 App or several hotel booking platforms.
The hotel is strategically located just minutes from Madrid-Barajas International Airport, across the train station, and close to IFEMA convention complex, the largest in Spain – offering exceptional connectivity and easy access to the city center, business districts, and major attractions. It is perfectly positioned to serve both leisure and business travelers seeking modern, affordable, and high-quality accommodations in Spain’s vibrant capital.
Sports enthusiasts and event-goers will also find the hotel particularly convenient, as it sits directly beside the iconic Ciudad Real Madrid training complex and in close proximity to the new Formula 1 Madrid Grand Prix circuit.
True to its global standardized model, Hotel101-Madrid features the signature “HappyRoom” units, each equipped with a kitchenette. Despite its affordable pricing, the property offers 4-star amenities. These include swimming pools, function rooms, a business center, full-size gym, the all-day dining restaurant HBNB Kitchen operated by the award-winning Grupo La Sucursal from Valencia, convenience store, laundry room, over 200 parking spaces and 24/7 reception — offering guests the exact same Hotel101 experience found at every property worldwide.
Following its listing on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, Hotel101 Global’s entry into the Spanish market is a key component of its asset-light expansion strategy. The Madrid property is expected to begin generating recurring revenue, bolstering the company’s presence in the international hospitality sector.

hospitality platform pioneering a global standardized “condotel” business model.

About DoubleDragon Corporation
DoubleDragon, in just about 10 years, has completed over 1.5 million square meters of diversified asset portfolio consisting of a chain of provincial community malls in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, office buildings in Metro Manila, hotels in the Philippines and overseas, and warehouse complexes around the country.
It is one of the few companies that operates its modern community malls in the countryside, as far as Cotabato City, Koronadal City, Dipolog City in Zamboanga Del Norte and Isulan, Sultan Kudarat that further stimulates the countryside local economy, but at the same time enables the positive economic growth to be felt by the real provincial countryside.
Also, it is one of the very few companies that has commercial investment as far as Basilan, Sulu in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region.
DoubleDragon expects its Hotel101 subsidiary being an asset-light business model to become one of the major homegrown brand and business model export to other countries that would generate a significant US dollar inflow to the Philippine economy./PN
