IHG Hotels & Resorts announced that its opening hotels in Japan have reached 50 in total, as three new brands of Six Senses,’ ‘Vignette Collection’ and ‘Garner’ recently entered Japan for the first time.
‘Six Senses Kyoto’ opened in April 2024, and Rihga Royal Hotel Osaka and The Windsor Hotel TOYA Resort &Spa joined Vignette Collection. This year, three Garner Hotels opened in Osaka at the same time.
In addition, Holiday Inn, a mid-scale brand, will reopen in Tokyo and Kyoto this year.
Abhijay Sandilya, CEO, IHG ANA Hotels Group Japan, and Managing Director, IHG Hotels & Resorts Japan & Micronesia, said, “While new-build properties remain fundamental to our growth, we’re also seizing the great opportunity in the country’s conversion space where international brands only represent 5% of hotels, far lower than the global average of close to 20-25%.”
