YOTEL announces flagship hotel in Tokyo

UK based hotel group, YOTEL, has announced its first hotel in Japan. Slated to open in 2024 under a long-term management agreement, YOTEL Tokyo will be located in Ginza.

Featuring 244 rooms, the hotel will showcase YOTEL’s latest features, including its signature robotic concierge YOBOT, motorised SmartBeds, and technologies to enable a touchless guest experience.

“We are immensely proud and excited to announce our first hotel in Tokyo.

“A flagship for our group, YOTEL Tokyo will also be a steppingstone to roll out our brand across Japan, a market of strategic importance for YOTEL.

YOTEL Tokyo is steps away from Ginza, the a popular dining and shopping destination in the city, featuring flagship stores for many of the world’s best-known brands.

The group is also working on opportunities to roll out YOTELAir – the group’s transit hotel concept – at key gateway airports and train stations.

The hotel will also include the brand’s public area’s, a 24/7 fitness centre, a Grab-and-Go cafe, a meeting space and an outdoor terrace.
