HOTELS magazine has just released The LIST, its latest annual ranking of the Top Hotel Groups in the World.
Based on data as of the end of 2024, the list reflects the global hotel industry's development over the past year through metrics such as total room count and expansion pace. It also serves as a snapshot of broader trends across in the global hospitality landscape.
Compared with last year, the overall ranking remains largely unchanged:
*The global top three are still Marriott, Jin Jiang, and Hilton.
* China’s three major hospitality groups—Jin Jiang, H World, and BTG—remain firmly in the global Top 10. Jin Jiang holds the No.2 spot, H World climbed from No.5 to No.4, and BTG maintains at No. 9.
* A total of 21 Chinese hotel groups are featured in the Top 50—up from 19 last year. These include Jin Jiang, H World, BTG, GreenTree, Dossen, Sunmei, Atour, ELong Hotel Technology, Yibon, LN Hospitality, Rezen, CTG, Yeste, Funyard, Tripmod, Wanda, SSAW, Landison, Gongsheng, Shangri-La.
In the separate ranking of the Top 50 single hotel brands, 14 brands from Chinese hotel groups are represented.
Notably, H World’s Han Ting brand jumped to No.1 among single hotel brands, with 359,475 rooms—up from No.3 last year. H World’s another brand, Ji Hotel, secured the No.4 spot with 325,999 rooms.
Jin Jiang International Group has seven brands on the single-brand list—the most among all hotel groups—up by one compared to last year.
