The InterContinetal Hotels Group has just announced the launch of two new co-branded resorts in Okinawa, The Park Hyatt is introducing a new, exclusive Tokyo Massage Therapy, and The Fujiya Hotel due to celebrate its 130th Anniversary has upgraded many of its rooms.
Citidines Tokyo Shinjuku in Japan
The Citidines Tokyo Shinjuku serviced residence is centrally located in trendy Shinjuku, near to the Shinjuku Gyoen and Shinjuku 3-chome subway stations. Visitors can enjoy shopping, dining and sight-seeing at nearby shopping malls, and strolling in the Shinjuku National Garden known for its cherry blossom and its history as an Imperial Garden. At night the entertainment centre is a lively spot and its restaurants deservedly popular.
InterContinental Hotels & Resorts Now in Okinawa
Inter-Con has launched two new co-branded resorts to join its other four hotels in Japan. The new hotels are in Okinawa, the ANA InterContinental Manza Beach Resort and ANA InterContinental Ishigaki Resort.
