How H World positions its brands
H World Group, formerly Huazhu Group, runs a multi-brand platform ranging from economy to upscale hotels, including Huazhu’s domestic brands and the European-based Steigenberger/Deutsche Hospitality chain.
The group’s long-term strategy centers on expanding its midscale and upper-midscale offerings in China’s tier 2 and tier 3 cities while using Steigenberger to build recognition in Europe and selected overseas markets.
Long-term strategy and business model
The company operates a mixed model of leased-and-operated, manachised (managed and franchised) and franchised-only hotels, which helps limit capital intensity while scaling room count.
In its most recent annual report, H World emphasized asset-light growth through franchising and manachise contracts to boost return on invested capital and reduce exposure to property cycles.
What the company sells
H World Group makes money primarily by providing branded lodging under banners such as Huazhu’s HanTing and JI Hotel in China and the Steigenberger Hotels & Resorts brand in Europe, earning room revenues, management fees and franchise royalties from its hotel network.
