The trio combined will add more than 1,000 rooms to IHG’s Japan portfolio, which marks the biggest conversion deal IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed in Japan since it formed its joint venture with ANA in 2006. It is also the first time IHG will have three brands located on one site.
The hotel portfolio will have 18 restaurants and bars, more than 3000m² of meeting & conference space, several retail outlets, and 10 health and recreation venues, including a 2,000m² onsen facility.
