Description: HTHT Huazhu January 03, 2026

H World Group Limited (NASDAQ: HTHT), formerly Huazhu Group, is a Shanghai-based hotel operator founded in 2005. It develops, owns, leases, and franchises a diversified portfolio of properties across China under a mix of home-grown and international brands, ranging from economy concepts such as HanTing and Ibis to upscale labels like Steigenberger and Grand Mercure.

Key operational metrics indicate a strong recovery in China’s hospitality sector: for FY 2023 the company reported an average occupancy of roughly 78% and a year-over-year RevPAR increase of about 12%, driven by rising domestic travel and relaxed COVID-19 restrictions. The pipeline includes more than 200 hotels slated to open through 2026, and the strategic joint venture with Accor gives H World access to a broader upscale brand suite while contributing roughly 15% of its total room inventory.

Macro-level drivers such as the Chinese government’s “dual circulation” policy, which encourages domestic consumption, and the gradual normalization of outbound tourism are expected to sustain demand growth for mid-scale and upscale accommodations in the next 12-18 months.
