(03/04/24) Accor has doubled the group’s footprint in Japan
with the opening of 22 hotels and over 6,000 rooms in the country.
Prior to the addition of the 22 new hotels, Accor
was operating 24 hotels (5,741 keys) in Japan, under eight brands:
MGallery, Pullman, Swissôtel, Mercure, Novotel, ibis, ibis Styles
and ibis budget.
In addition to the twelve Grand Mercure and ten
Mercure hotels that joined Accor’s network on 1 April 2024, there
are two more properties currently in the group’s pipeline.
Room at the Grand Mercure Nasu Highlands Resort in Japan
The new hotels range in location from the
northernmost prefecture of Hokkaido to the southernmost prefecture
of Okinawa.
“As Japan continues to welcome back international
travel and experiences a steady recovery of the tourism industry,
we are excited to add these great hotels to our portfolio and in
doing so we are doubling our group’s presence in Japan,” said
Garth Simmons, Chief Operating Officer, Premium, Midscale and
Economy Division for Accor in Asia. “As the desire to connect with
local culture and nature is increasingly in demand amongst
travellers today, we offer our loyal guests just that; a range of
local experiences offered in charming coastal towns and amongst
nature. Popular destinations such as Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto will
always remain in high demand, however if you want to truly immerse
yourself in the authentic culture of a country, sometimes you need
to escape the big cities and head off the beaten path.”
