Starway Publishes Twelve Measures for Renovating Existing Hotels

Starway, a mid-range hotel brand under Huazhu Group, has since August 2026 been successively publishing its "Twelve Measures for Renovating Existing Properties," breaking down materials, techniques and cost-control experience for aspects such as flooring, bathrooms and soundproofing. Starway has operated for 18 years and has more than 600 hotels, forming three investment models: light renovation, partial renovation and full renovation. Taking the Chengdu Tianfu First Street hotel as an example, the per-room renovation cost is approximately RMB 16,000; three months after renovation, the occupancy rate rose to nearly 90%, and average RevPAR rose from RMB 180 to RMB 250. This series of methods has now been publicly disclosed, and the status of the matter remains at the level of experience disclosure.
