Hyatt Expands Across Japan
Hyatt has a sizable and growing footprint in Japan. The chain has 18 properties across the country, including the ultra-luxe Park Hyatt Tokyo and Park Hyatt Kyoto.
The Sapporo project marks the third Hyatt Centric in the country, joining the Category 4 Hyatt Centric Kanazawa and the Category 6 Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo. There is no indication of what category the new Sapporo property will be.
Hyatt Centric is part of the chain’s Boundless collection and emphasizes guests being connected to the “heart of the action.” Properties are centrally located and rooms at Hyatt Centrics typically feature nods to the local culture.
