The property is a 15-minute walk from Tokyo station, which connects most parts of Japan. This station offers connection to the Narita International Airport via Narita Express.
YOTEL CEO Hubert Viriot said: “Japan’s focus on technology and innovation has been an important source of inspiration for YOTEL ever since our inception.
“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.”
The brand also plans to launch in other Japanese cities including Sapporo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe.
Besides, it is considering the option of introducing the YOTELAIR transit hotel concept at important airports and train stations.
In May this year, YOTEL unveiled plans to launch a 127-key hotel in Lisbon, Portugal. This property is scheduled to open in 2024.
