Fraser Suites Opens in Akasaka, Tokyo

Frasers Hospitality today doubled its portfolio of serviced apartments in Japan with the opening of the Fraser Suites Akasaka in Tokyo.

The 22-storey serviced residence is located between the Akasaka, Akasaka-mitsuke and Aoyama-itchome metro stations, making the fashionable neighbourhoods of Roppongi, Shibuya and Ginza easily accessible.

CEO of Frasers Hospitality, Mr Koh Teck Chuan, said, “With domestic travel demand picking up, and discussions for travel bubbles underway, the opening of this property in Tokyo is a harbinger for travel recovery. Over the past few months, there has been a lot of conversation about how travel will look post COVID19, and we’ve used the opportunity to redefine and adopt new hospitality standards to ensure the safety and well-being of all our guests and employees.”

World-renowned interior design firm, Hirsch-Bedner Associates, took inspiration from Japanese culture and the surrounding premier district of Akasaka when designing the 224-room, fully furnished serviced residence.

Fully furnished deluxe rooms, studios and one-bedroom apartments range from in size from 32 sqm to 60 sqm. They are fitted with kitchenettes, rain showers and bathtubs, and state-of-the-art home entertainment systems.

The property also features a restaurant, a 24/7 gym, golf simulator and a relaxation area with massage chairs.

“Fraser Suites Akasaka has adopted heightened sanitation measures, including the availability of hand sanitiser in common public areas, access to masks for all guests, as well as increased cleaning and disinfection of high contact points within apartments,” said Ms Huang Meilin, General Manager of Fraser Suites Akasaka. “In addition, we are keeping pace with changes in travel advisories and amending policies accordingly, as well as extending flexibility on bookings where needed. We would like to assure guests that we are doing all we can to ensure peace of mind while continuing to provide the same quality and thoughtful service.”

Frasers Hospitality also operates Fraser Residence Nankai Osaka, its first serviced residence in Japan.
