What is a Moxy Hotel? Interview with Matthias Y. Sutter

[HD video and podcast below] Moxy Hotels are a relatively new brand within Marriott's rapidly growing portfolio and there are currently only three open in Asia - two in Japan and one in Indonesia.

As Mr. Matthias Y. Sutter, today GM of the JW Marriott Phuket, has firsthand experience working for the two hotels in Japan, we asked him to tell us more about the brand and what it stands for.

In this interview filmed on the morning of 24 September 2018 in Phuket, Mr. Sutter gives us an insight into what travellers can expect from a Moxy Hotel, what the hotels are like in Japan, where they are, what expansion plans the brand has for the Asia Pacific region, and much, much more.
