Hanting Inn: A New Standard for Conversion-Led Growth
From an owner and investor perspective, Hanting Inn is designed for high commercial adaptability, particularly for the conversion and renovation of existing properties.
Built around four principles — Light, Fast, Efficient and Profitable — Hanting Inn combines modular renovation standards and streamlined processes to reduce investment intensity and shorten lead time to opening, while flexible room configurations, including multi-occupancy family rooms, enhance space utilization and revenue efficiency.
Hanting Inn is supported by H World Group’s centralized supply chain procurement, digital and operational management platforms, and a loyalty ecosystem of more than 300 million members, enabling efficient scaling while maintaining consistent standards.
As of September 30, 2025, 4,531 Hanting Hotels were in operation, providing the scale and operational foundation that underpins the launch of Hanting Inn and reinforcing H World Group’s long-term commitment to asset-light growth and leadership in the economy hotel segment.
