H World CEO Jin Hui said: “For our Legacy-Huazhu business, RevPAR in Q1 2023 recovered to 118% of the Q1 2019 level. Broken down into monthly numbers, our RevPAR in January, February and March 2023 recovered to 96%, 140% and 120% of the 2019 levels of the corresponding months, respectively.

“The strong recovery was largely driven by the ADR growth in the first quarter due to pent-up demand, a combination of product mix change and continued product upgrades, as well as market penetration and synergy through regional offices.

“Regarding our business outside China, our Legacy-DH business continued its promising business recovery. Q1 2023 Blended RevPAR recovered to 94% of the 2019 level.”
