If analyzing at the hotel group level, OYO is the second biggest hotel company in the country though. The hotelier is notable at the global scale as well. At the moment, OYO Hotels is the sixth largest hospitality company in the world. Moreover, it is the world’s fastest-growing chain of leased and franchised hotels.

In less than two years, this hotelier established its presence in more than 337 cities across China! Currently, OYO has more than 500,000 hotel rooms.

The company itself is amazed at the pace at which they are expanding and expressed their gratitude towards employees and more than 300,000 guests who sleep in OYO hotels across China every night.

OYO has completely changed the budget hospitality system in the country. It managed to build a cost-conscious brand, hire necessary talent, and create a loyal customer base. OYO has the biggest presence in the second-tier cities in China but expands as deep as to tier-6 cities.
