TODAY, OCTOBER 20, 2026 — Hotel101 Global Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ Ticker: HBNB) (“Hotel101” or “Hotel101 Global”), a leading asset-light, prop-tech hospitality platform pioneering a globally standardized “condotel” business model, listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange and a subsidiary of Philippine-listed DoubleDragon Corporation (PSE Ticker: DD), announces the signing of definitive binding agreements for a country-wide joint venture for the expansion of Hotel101 in Egypt, starting with the development of an approximately 750-room Hotel101 in Cairo, Egypt.
This expansion marks a significant milestone in the company’s global growth strategy, bringing its novel, globally standardized condotel business model to one of the Middle East and Africa’s most dynamic capital cities and a major cultural tourism gateway.
The hotel, to be named Hotel101-Cairo West, is planned to occupy a prime site in Hay Al Ashgar along Ahmed Zewail Road in 6th of October City, Giza. This strategic position is expected to offer guests connectivity via major arterial roads, including El Wahat Road and the Cairo Ring Road, with access to Sphinx International Airport and the wider Greater Cairo road network. The area has rapidly emerged as one of West Cairo’s key growth districts, known for its modern infrastructure, improving transport links, and strong mix of residential, commercial, and tourism developments, while sitting within the broader catchment of the Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum.

● Proximity to Major Attractions: Situated within the West Cairo corridor serving the Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum. The site is expected to offer a balance of modern urban development and cultural tourism demand, with easy access to key attractions, residential communities, and commercial amenities across Greater Cairo.
