Hilton brings Motto brand to Japan with 108-room Kyoto hotel opening in 2029
Hilton at present manages 13 Motto hotels, with over 24 hotels under progress. Recent openings featured properties in Brazil and Nashville, United States, whilst the group has also inked arrangements for properties in Paris, Shanghai and Sydney.
“As part of our initiatives to realise our long-term vision, WAY2040, we are broadening our hotel business as a brand-new area of development,” claimed Kiyoyuki Tsuchimoto, the business’s representative executive officer, president and chief executive officer.
This is going to be the first Motto by Hilton real estate in Japan. The hotel will feature an all-day dining diner and a lobby with a free terrace.
The hotel is going to be a two-minute walking from Shijo Station on the Kyoto Municipal Train Karasuma Line and Karasuma Terminal on the Hankyu Kyoto Line. This will enable visitors convenient transport accessibility to preferred Kyoto attractions like Nishiki Market, the historic Gion and Higashiyama locales, and retail offerings in the Shijo Kawaramachi location.
“Motto by Hilton Kyoto Shijo Karasuma will offer a fresh, locally rooted hospitality encounter that motivates event, creating a new sort of visit for guests seeking to submerse themselves in Japan’s cultural capital,” claimed Alex Shockley, Hilton’ top executive, lifestyle and collection labels for Asia Pacific.
Hilton is going to handle the property for Heiwa. The Japanese developer and realty firm manages a portfolio of business and non commercial properties in Japan, featuring the stock market buildings in cities including Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka.
Hilton is partnering with Heiwa Realty Co to open up Motto by Hilton Kyoto Shijo Karasuma. The 108-key hotel is going to open in 2029.
In Kyoto, Hilton’s profile is set to grow to seven hotels across numerous companies, including an upcoming Curio Collection by Hilton real estate.
