IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a management deal with Pan Pacific International Holdings Corporation to open Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya in late 2023, marking the brand's fourth property in Japan.
With 254 operating and pipeline hotels worldwide, Hotel Indigo is a lifestyle boutique hotel brand built around 'neighbourhood stories', tickling guests' curiosity by showcasing the city's personality, unique history and culture in every aspect of the hotel design, artwork, service and experience.
Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya will be located at the top of the 'Dogenzaka Dori', a large, mixed-use complex part of the Shibuya Ward Dogenzaka 2-chome Development Plan. This project aims to create a new lifestyle hub in the Shibuya area that attracts a diverse range of people.
With an ideal location, the hotel is only a five-minute walk from the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, a quintessential symbol of Tokyo's cultural centre that attracts the world's attention. Meanwhile, in the opposite direction is the calm, residential Shoto area.
Based on a Jungle City theme, reflecting Tokyo's Shibuya neighbourhood, where individuality and colours interweave, the hotel will bring Shibuya's trendy and charming Neighborhood Story to life through its interior design and services.
The 272-room hotel will feature facilities such as a neighbourhood café & bar with an outdoor terrace and a fitness gym. Rooms on the upper floors will offer scenic views extending as far as Mount Fuji and Tokyo Sky Tree on a clear day. A coffee shop for eat-in and take-out will also be available near the entrance on the third floor.
"PPIH is proud to develop this new urban development plan that takes advantage of the charms of Shibuya, with the goal of creating a lifestyle hub with a large-scale complex, comprising 'retail, offices and a hotel' and proposing a new circulation route around the Shibuya area," said Naoki Yoshida, Pan Pacific International Holdings Corporation, President and CEO, Representative Director.
IHG is committed to expanding in Japan and will continue to foster strong relationships with property owners to grow its portfolio further.
