Summit Expands Portfolio in Japan with Two New Hotels

The Kyoto Tokyu Hotel and Nagoya Tokyu Hotel have been added to the Asia Pacific portfolio of Summit Hotels & Resorts in Japan.

These two hotels will join the flagship of Tokyu Hotels - The Capitol Tokyu Hotel in Tokyo, which had joined Preferred Hotel Group in 2010 as a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts.

Currently, the group has a total of 13 member hotels in Japan, of which seven properties, spread across Preferred Hotel group’s stable of brands, are situated in Tokyo.

Moving forward, Preferred Hotel Group is now strategically moving into secondary Japanese cities as part of its expansion plans within the country.

Ms Kaori Yamaguchi, Regional Director, Japan, said, “We have forged a strong partnership with Tokyu Hotels, who have 54 hotels in Japan and also the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows in Hawaii, which is also a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts. The addition of Kyoto Tokyu Hotel and Nagoya Tokyu Hotel as our members is a wonderful opportunity for Preferred Hotel Group and Tokyu Hotels to grow together, bringing the business relationship to the next level and increase Preferred Hotel Group’s footprints in the country.”
