Hotel101 Global Holdings Corporation became the first Filipino-owned company to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq, debuting with an Opening Bell ceremony in New York on Friday, June 27.

Now trading under the ticker “HBNB,” the tech-driven hospitality platform is built for global scale, offering standardized hotel units through a proprietary, asset-light model.

The listing follows a $2.3 billion merger with JVSPAC Acquisition Corporation, a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company based in Hong Kong. The combined entity now operates under the name Hotel101 Global Holdings Corporation.

A subsidiary of Philippine-listed DoubleDragon Corporation, Hotel101 was co-founded by Edgar “Injap” Sia II and Jollibee founder Tony Tancaktiong, and is led by CEO Hannah Yulo-Luccini.

The company’s hybrid “condotel” model integrates property sales with long-term hotel operations—pre-selling rooms to individual buyers while retaining full operational control.

With properties in the Philippines and expansion underway in Japan, Spain, and the U.S., Hotel101 aims to build a global network of 1 million rooms across 100 countries. Its mobile app, with over 1 million users, supports dynamic pricing, self-check-in, and loyalty tools, enabling a consistent customer experience across markets.

Access to U.S. capital markets is expected to accelerate the company’s global rollout, with 25 countries already identified for future development.
