FAQ

Jin Jiang Inn franchise FAQ

The most frequently asked questions about franchising Jin Jiang Inn in Southeast Asia, answered officially.

How much investment does a Jin Jiang Inn franchise require?

CNY 80,000–100,000 per room all-in (including fit-out, FF&E and OS&E amortisation), with a 120-room hotel costing about CNY 10.0–13.0 million including pre-opening costs. The economy positioning keeps the barrier to entry low, making it the recommended starting point for a first move into Southeast Asia.

What property requirements does Jin Jiang Inn have?

Site area ≥ 3,500 sqm; ≥ 80 rooms (100–150 recommended); located in a city business district or within 2 km of a transport hub, with areas where Chinese business travellers cluster preferred; a standalone or semi-detached building able to obtain a hotel operating licence; a recommended lease of ≥ 10 years including a rent-free fit-out period of ≥ 6 months.

What room rate does Jin Jiang Inn target in Southeast Asia?

A reference ADR of CNY 200–300 per night, varying by city — precisely filling the gap in Southeast Asia's quality-economy price band.

Which Southeast Asian cities suit Jin Jiang Inn?

Dense business cores such as Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and Ho Chi Minh City, with priority given to properties near clusters of Chinese business travellers and transport hubs.

Can an existing older hotel be rebranded as a Jin Jiang Inn?

Yes. Jin Jiang Inn supports a “light renovation rebrand”, refreshing the property to brand standards while retaining usable structure — cheaper and faster than new-build. Feasibility is confirmed by an on-site head-office assessment.

How long does it take from signing to opening?

Using the modular fast fit-out system, the standard build period is about 6–9 months. The head office supplies standard drawings, centralised procurement and construction supervision, keeping both schedule and cost under control.
