Here is the one-year chart of Atour Lifestyle (ATAT) as of October 6, 2025, when the stock was at $36.

Atour Lifestyle keeps growing by focusing on what customers want in both hotels and retail.

Despite a volatile travel market, the company’s strong brand and focus on customer experience helped it expand its hotel network by nearly 30% year-over-year to 1,824 hotels, with another 816 in development.

Atour Lifestyle’s new hotel brands — like Atour 3.6, Atour 4.0, and the upscale SAVHE — are getting strong feedback from guests and franchise owners. Atour 3.6 is made for business travelers who want comfort and convenience, Atour 4.0 targets city guests who mix work and leisure, and SAVHE is a new upscale brand that focuses on sleep, relaxation, and wellness.

The company’s retail business also grew fast with sales up nearly 80% from last year, led by its “Deep Sleep” pillows and comforters that became top sellers online.

By improving both its hotels and products, Atour Lifestyle is building steady growth and stronger customer loyalty for the long run.
