2026 China Hotel Brands Tier List

Snapshot 2026-09-09. The main table is Chinese-origin consumer brands from HOTELS magazine’s 2026 The List, rooms at 31 Dec 2025. Ji Hotel is No. 1. Group rooms: hotel groups. Luxury properties: luxury hotels. The board pre-fills these 13; another 45 brands sit unranked in the pool.

Chinese-origin brands by rooms

Ji Hotel has 404,616 rooms and is No. 1. Hanting is No. 2 with 393,791. Vienna International and Vienna Hotels are 3 and 4. On the global brand list, Ji and Hanting are also 1 and 2.

How we ranked this

Snapshot 2026-09-09. The main table takes Chinese-origin consumer brands from HOTELS magazine’s 2026 The List (rooms in operation at 31 Dec 2025) and re-ranks them by those rooms. The full magazine table sits behind a form; numbers are cross-checked with H World’s FY2025 release, Jin Jiang’s HK filing, and two public write-ups. Ji Hotel’s 404,616 rooms match H World; Vienna Hotels’ 184,647 rooms match Jin Jiang. Hampton and Radisson Blu are international flags run in China, so they sit in a later table. Group rooms: hotel groups. Luxury properties: luxury hotels. Meadin MBI is another index and stays off this room table. Names: docs/glossaries/hotel-brands-cn-glossary.md.

Thousand-hotel filings

H World and Jin Jiang also published open-hotel counts at the same year-end. The main table still follows HOTELS rooms. Where Jin Jiang’s rooms differ from the magazine, the note column says so.

International flags in China

Two more names on the HOTELS brand 50 are international flags reported through Jin Jiang. Hampton is global No. 35; Radisson Blu is No. 42.

Atour and GreenTree

Atour FY2025: 2,015 hotels and 224,423 rooms across seven lifestyle brands, so the group total stays off the single-brand table. GreenTree’s 2025 20-F: 4,580 hotels as a group, no brand room split in the release. Common names from both groups sit in the pool.
