Hyatt lifestyle brand will open its firs Japanese property in Tokyo in 2014.
Andaz Tokyo will be the fourth Hyatt-branded hotel to open in Tokyo and the ninth in Japan. It will occupy eight floors of The Mori Building, a 52-storey tower in a multi-use complex now under construction in Toranomon, a business and embassy district located in the capital’s Minato Ward.
It will feature 164 guestrooms and suites, a spa, and “dynamic restaurant facilities”.
Larry Tchou, executive vice president, Asia, Hyatt Hotels, said: “Currently, nine Andaz hotelsare in operation in four countries, with others continually coming under development. True to its destination, Andaz Tokyo will convey the well-tailored, refined sensibility of Japan as well as the vibrant, internationally eclectic spirit of its capital city.”
Kazuhiko Yamamoto, vice president in charge of urban development for Mori Building, said: “With its central location between the highrise district of Shiodome and the Akasaka and Roppongi areas where many multinational corporations are located, Toranomon is a vital hub for Tokyo’s further development as a global business centre. Andaz Tokyo will both heighten Toranomon’s allure and serve the needs of international firms here, promising the area’s fast growth as a gateway destination.”
