Hilton brings Motto brand to Japan with 108-room Kyoto hotel opening in 2029

The hotel will be a two-minute walk from Shijo Terminal on the Kyoto Municipal Metro Karasuma Line and Karasuma Stop on the Hankyu Kyoto Line. This will certainly enable guests convenient transport access to popular Kyoto tourist attractions including Nishiki Market, the historical Gion and Higashiyama areas, and retail offerings in the Shijo Kawaramachi area.

Hilton is partnering with Heiwa Realty Co to open up Motto by Hilton Kyoto Shijo Karasuma. The 108-key hotel will open in 2029.

“As component of our efforts to realise our long-term vision, WAY2040, we are expanding our hotel business as a brand-new area of development,” stated Kiyoyuki Tsuchimoto, the firm’s representative director, president and chief executive officer.

“Motto by Hilton Kyoto Shijo Karasuma will provide a new, nearby rooted hospitality encounter that supports meeting, producing a brand-new kind of visit for visitors aiming to immerse themselves in Japan’s cultural estate,” said Alex Shockley, Hilton’ senior supervisor, lifestyle and collection labels for Asia Pacific.

Hilton currently operates 13 Motto hotels, with over 24 resorts under development. Latest openings included real estates in Brazil and Nashville, U.S.A., whilst the group has actually also inked agreements for properties in Paris, Shanghai and Sydney.

In Kyoto, Hilton’s portfolio is set to expand to 7 lodgings throughout various brand names, including an upcoming Curio Collection by Hilton property.

Hilton will take care of the property for Heiwa. The Japanese property developer and realty firm manages a portfolio of commercial and non commercial properties in Japan, including the stock market establishments in towns including Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka.

This will be the first Motto by Hilton real property in Japan. The hotel will feature an all-day dining restaurant and a lobby with a free balcony.
