Hyatt to debut Alila brand in Japan with Hakone mountain retreat
The resort is created to blend into the natural environments, with Japanese company Kengo Kuma and Associates designated as the project’s architect.
Located within the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Forest, Alila Sengokuhara Hakone rises in an area understood for its seasonal charm, art galleries, volcanic landscape, and panoramic scenery towards Mount Kintoki.
Centred on the restorative practice of Japanese onsens, the real estate presents 60 guestrooms, featuring 11 suites, that featured a special natural hot spring bath each.
As for dining, Alila Sengokuhara Hakone’s restaurant and bar will support locally sourced, seasonal ingredients from neighboring fields, woodlands and seas– aligning with the brand’s devotion to cooking experiences rooted in their setting. The menus will certainly include flavours of the region, hooking up visitors with its active ingredients to Hakone and the wider Japanese landscape.
Hyatt Hotels has recently announced an agreement with Fujita Corp to open Alila Sengokuhara Hakone– set in the neighborhood of Sengokuhara in the hilly area of Hakone– marking the Alila brand’s first real estate in Japan. The property is set to open up in 2028.
The hotel’s various other highlights consist of a yoga deck encircled by the natural surroundings, providing visitors a relaxing room to breathe, stretch and reconnect. The hotel is going to also offer curated Alila Moments– trademark events that make it possible for guests to submerse themselves in Hakone’s traditions and culture past a traditional resort stay.
“We expect Alila Sengokuhara Hakone turning into a new measure for high-end hotels in Japan,” states Yoji Okumura, president of Fujita Corp
.
The resort is going to sign up with a worldwide profile of 19 existing Alila properties, consisting of 13 across Asia. The brand name’s introduction in Japan will certainly bring Hyatt’s Japan profile to 10 brand names.
