Said Mr Choe Peng Sum, Chief
Executive Officer of Pan Pacific Hotels Group, "The
successful openings of BELLUSTAR TOKYO, A Pan Pacific Hotel and HOTEL
GROOVE SHINJUKU, A PARKROYAL Hotel resulted in a substantial
increase in international travellers into both hotels with
approximately 60% of total guests originating from our loyalty
programme. JNTO recently announced that visitor arrivals into
Japan from Jan to Jun 2024 increased by 65.9% to 17.8 million over
the same period last year with the monthly figure for June 2024 hitting an all-time high of 3.14
million[1]. Consistently ranked within the top 5 most
visited cities in Japan,
Kyoto prefecture which has a
population of 2.5 million, drew 32 million international and
domestic overnight guests in 2023[2]."
Mr Jun Murai, Representative
Director and President, TOKYU HOTELS & RESORTS CO., LTD.,
said," We are very pleased to be partnering with Pan
Pacific Hotels Group for the third property, following the two
hotels that opened in TOKYU KABUKICHO TOWER last year. We feel that
the core values and vision of Pan Pacific Hotels Group align
closely with our company's purpose and philosophy, and by combining
the strengths of both companies, we will be able to develop an even
better brand for our guests and the local community. The
hotel will open its doors to the world more widely as a place that
provide their guests what weaves together the unique local
experience, traditional beauty, and culture that the hotel has
cherished since its opening. Through this partnership, we
hope to bring the deep charms of this elegant city to tourists from
all over the world and provide them with a time of contentment and
satisfaction."
Featuring a harmonious blend of East and West, the design of THE
HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A
Pan Pacific Hotel draws inspiration from the calming flow of the
Shirakawa River that runs alongside the hotel, providing a relaxing
respite from one of the most popular cities in Japan.
The 143-room hotel, which recently celebrated its second
anniversary, allows convenient access to many attractions and
offers "Kyoto Iroha," a cultural experience programme that deepens
guests' appreciation of Kyoto's
distinct aesthetics.
Embodying Pan Pacific's ethos of Graceful Luxury and sincere
hospitality, the hotel features an elegant tea bar showcasing
Japanese tea ceremonies, a 78-seater restaurant and bar, and an
onsen-style experience with three private baths.
Just four minutes away from Higashiyama station on the Kyoto
City Subway Tozai Line, and 20 minutes by taxi from JR Kyoto
station, THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel is located
close to the famous Gion district and within walking distance of
