7 Days Group
We are a leading and fast growing national economy hotel chain based in China. We convert and operate limited service economy hotels across major metropolitan areas in China under our award-winning “7 Days Inn” brand. We strive to offer consistent and high-quality accommodations and services primarily to the growing population of value-conscious business and leisure travelers who demand affordable, clean, comfortable, convenient and safe lodging, and to respond to our guests’ needs. Two important drivers of our business are our 7 Days Club and our eCommerce platform, which is supported by our integrated proprietary information technology, or IT, system.
We are the third largest economy hotel chain in China based on the total number of hotels as of December 31, 2008, and we were the fastest growing among the top ten economy hotel chains in China in 2006, 2007 and 2008 based on the number of new hotels opened, according to the China Hotel Association. As of September 30, 2009, we had 283 hotels in operation, 48 of which were managed hotels, with 28,266 hotel rooms in 41 cities, and an additional 77 hotels with 7,476 hotel rooms under conversion. Upon completion of these hotels, we will cover 59 cities in China.
