Paris (ots/PRNewswire) - ACCOR SIGNS MILESTONE AGREEMENT WITH EBISU
RESORT LLC, WITH 23 PROPERTIES SET TO JOIN THE GROUP'S HOTEL NETWORK
BY Q2 2024
Accor's presence in Japan is set to double while hotel openings gain
momentum throughout the region. With travel and tourism surging once
again on a global scale, countries such as Japan, Singapore, Vietnam,
and surrounding regions such as China, are experiencing a significant
influx of foreign travelers, as well as increasing domestic demand
for business and leisure travel experiences.
Accor recently announced a new strategic partnership with JHRA in
Japan to renovate and rebrand the Daiwa Resorts portfolio into Grand
Mercure and Mercure hotels that will offer uniquely local
experiences. The agreement will double Accor's current portfolio in
Japan, adding 23 properties and over 6,000 rooms. Conversion of the
hotels will occur throughout 2024, after which the properties will
operate under the aforementioned Accor brands.
"We are thrilled to be adding these great hotels to our portfolio in
Japan and will continue to build on the relationships that Daiwa
Resort has successfully maintained within each region, working
closely with our partners, Japan Hotel Reit Advisors, Daiwa Resort's
asset manager, to revitalize these properties," said Jean-Jacques
Morin, Group Deputy CEO and CEO Premium, Midscale & Economy Division,
Accor. "The recovery of Asia is fueling our ambitions as we seek to
offer travelers a deeper and more diverse range of hospitality
experiences across the region. Over the past decade, Accor has
shifted from being asset-heavy to becoming an agile, asset-light
company growing our hotel portfolio by 50% and tripling our brands.
Now, with a resurgence of demand to serve as the wind beneath our
wings, we will guide these brands to new heights, with more density,
presence, and scale than ever before."
"We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who has
supported Daiwa Resorts until now. 23 of our hotels located in scenic
spots across Japan, from Hokkaido to Okinawa, will be rebranded as
Grand Mercure and Mercure hotels. By rebranding, we will be able to
provide our customers with various allures and memorable travel
memories. In the future, we promise that guests will be able to enjoy
a comfortable stay with activities that incorporate local cuisine,
local attractions and relaxing hot springs while making the most of
the unique characteristics of each hotel. We would like to work
together with the local community more than ever before and share the
appeal of each region not only within Japan but also around the
world," commented Koji Mayanagi, Daiwa Resort Co., Ltd. President &
CEO.
Accor will also debut several new flagship properties in the region
over the coming years, demonstrating the diversity of the Group's
expanding network in Asia Pacific.

augmented with smart technology and a rooftop bar that will open
later this year.
