In the vibrant and flourishing month of March, 99 Inn is honored to receive the “Best Chain Hotel” award, presented by eLong, China's leading online travel service provider. In 2014, 99 Inn delivered outstanding performance on eLong, earning its well-deserved title as the Best Chain Hotel through exceptional cost-performance value, high overall satisfaction, strong popularity, and a large volume of orders.
Since its establishment in 2007, 99 Inn has been committed to its vision of “spreading love and care during every journey,” striving to provide affordable, convenient, comfortable, and secure accommodation experiences for leisure travelers, business guests, and college students on vacation. By meeting guests’ core lodging needs, the brand has flourished. Backed by strong financial support from a portfolio led by U.S.-based SIG Fund and Goldman Sachs, 99 Inn has expanded at a rate of 100 new stores per year. In 2014, it ranked 66th globally in the hotel industry by the authoritative international magazine HOTELS. Currently, 99 Inn operates nearly 500 stores across more than 100 cities, with 40,000 rooms, making it the largest budget hotel chain in China.
99 Inn not only performs exceptionally well through OTA channels but has also built a comprehensive proprietary booking platform and membership system. Orders through its official website and 400 reservation center have been on the rise, while mobile channels have been significantly expanded. The new version of the mobile app and WeChat platform allow guests to book rooms anytime, anywhere, with exclusive discounts and privileges for members.
