YOTEL CEO Hubert Viriot said: “We are delighted to announce our partnership with Frasers Hospitality to introduce YOTEL to one of the world’s most exciting destinations. YOTEL Tokyo Ginza will stand as a flagship for our brand, and we are thrilled to collaborate with an investor who shares our dedication to innovation and excellence in hospitality.”

Frasers Hospitality CEO Eu Chin Fen said, “The debut of the inaugural YOTEL-branded hotel in Tokyo, Japan, marks a significant milestone for us and reaffirms our commitment to deepen our presence in the country as we continue to grow the portfolio. We are pleased to join hands with YOTEL to launch the brand in Japan and look forward to a mutually beneficial partnership in the long term.”

YOTEL Tokyo Ginza marks the beginning of YOTEL’s expansion in Japan, with plans to establish a presence in major cities such as Osaka, Kyoto, Sapporo, Yokohama, Fukuoka, Nagoya, and Kobe.

The brand is also exploring opportunities to introduce YOTELAIR, its transit hotel concept, at key airports and train stations.

Following Tokyo, the brand expects to open new properties in Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur between 2025 and 2026.

This expansion into Tokyo and beyond is part of YOTEL’s broader growth strategy in Asia, complementing existing locations such as YOTEL Singapore Orchard Road and YOTELAIR Singapore Changi Airport.

The brand aims to have 50 hotels opened or signed by 2025.
