HILTON Worldwide has entered a management agreement with Chatan Hotel and Resort Corp, a subsidiary of Orix Real Estate Corp, to manage Hilton Okinawa Chatan in central Chatan, Okinawa, Japan.
The 346-room Hilton Okinawa Chatan is scheduled to open in 2014, offering a 530m2 function room, a 120m2 meeting room, a business centre, an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty restaurant, a lobby lounge, a full service spa and fitness gym, indoor and outdoor pools, and other facilities.
“This agreement is a significant milestone for us as it represents the Hilton brand’s entry into Okinawa and our 11th property in Japan. Okinawa hosts nearly 5.5 million visitors a year and tourism contributes close to US$5 billion annually. Backed by a strong partner like Orix Real Estate Corp, we are confident that Hilton Okinawa Chatan will compete well with the existing international and local hotel supply,” said Andrew Clough, senior vice president, development, Middle East & Asia Pacific, Hilton Worldwide.
Hilton Okinawa Chatan sits approximately 20km away from Naha International Airport, and faces Mihama American Village, one of the largest shopping complexes in Okinawa.
