Marriott Opens First Business Hotel Brand in Japan

Marriott International, Inc. opened its first business hotel in Japan, Four Points Flex by Sheraton Osaka Umeda, in Osaka City on November 18.

Four Points Flex by Sheraton is Marriott’s first business hotel brand and the first to open in the Asia-Pacific region. The hotel will offer accommodation services at an affordable price range for business and leisure travelers, with a focus on locations that are easily accessible to public transportation and the city center.

Rates for a single room at the Osaka Umeda hotel will start at 12,700 yen. The hotel is also expected to be used by visitors to Japan, who are expected to increase in number in preparation for the Osaka-Kansai Expo in 2025.

The brand plans to open 14 hotels in 10 cities by early 2025, including Hakodate, Kanazawa, and Kobe.
