The hotel industry is an indispensable part of the tourism industry, and creates a considerable economic value. This study took the public listed hotels as the research subjects and used the financial ratio analysis method which applied the information from 2013 to 2017, combining with the trend analysis and the industrial analysis to discuss the profitability of them. The profitability indicators used in this study include Earnings per Share (EPS), Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), gross profit margin, operating profit margin, and profit margin. The results indicated that among all the TWSE listed hotels, GFRT had the highest EPS, and LEOFOO had the lowest; GFRT had the highest ROA, and LEOFOO had the lowest; GFRT had the highest ROE, and LEOFOO had the lowest; HG had the highest gross profit margin, and LEOFOO had the lowest; FIRST HOTEL had the highest operating profit margin, and LEOFOO had the lowest; FIRST HOTEL had the highest profit margin, and LEOFOO had the lowest. Among all the TPEX listed hotels, HOYA had the highest EPS, and FX HOTELS had the lowest; CHIHPEN ROYAL had the highest ROA, and HAIWAN had the lowest; LEALEA HOTELS had the highest ROE, and FX HOTELS had the lowest; HOYA had the highest gross profit margin, and FX HOTELS had the lowest; HOYA had the highest operating profit margin, and FX HOTELS had the lowest; HAIWAN had the highest profit margin, and FX HOTELS had the lowest. The profitability indicators of the TWSE listed hotels from 2013 to 2017 were better than those of the TPEX listed hotels, which was in line with the expectation of this study. However, in 2017, there was a common trend that all profitability indicators were declining. The situation requires the government and the tourism industry to respond to it as soon as possible.
