Hyatt Hotels has announced the expansion of the group’s Hyatt Centric brand with the launch of the first Hyatt Centric hotel in Tokyo slated for 2018.
The Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo will be the first new-build Hyatt Centric hotel in Asia Pacific, and the second worldwide after the Hyatt Centric Montevideo, Uruguay which will open later this year.
The 164-guestroom hotel is located in Ginza, a district known for luxury fashion and entertainment in the city of Namiki-Dori. The hotel will occupy the top 10 floors of the 12-storey commercial Ginza Asahi Building, owned and under development by Asahi Shimbun.
The hotel will offer terrace dining venues, meeting space, and a fitness centre. The dining area can be arranged to accommodate a variety of event formats from meetings to cocktail receptions, while the interior design will reflect Ginza’s blend of “tradition and innovation.”
“The new and upcoming Hyatt Centric properties signal momentum for the brand’s global expansion plans and our foray into the increasingly popular upper upscale lifestyle segment, setting the stage for additional hotels in prime destinations by the end of this year,” says Steve Haggerty, global head of capital strategy, franchising and select service, Hyatt Hotels Corporation.
“The Hyatt Centric brand portfolio is comprised of full-service hotels with an efficient service model designed to collaborate with locally known partners to connect guests with authentic experiences.”
