Marriott International and owner of Niseko Village YTL Hotels today announced an agreement for two new hotels at Niseko Village.
The EDITION and W hotels will further complement the luxury hotel experience in the fully integrated Niseko Village. YTL Hotels’ prominent presence in the powder mecca of Japan – Niseko Village in Hokkaido – is growing with the upcoming development of a Ritz-Carlton Reserve.
The highly lauded ski resort currently features two existing hotels, The Green Leaf and Hilton Niseko Village with ski-in ski-out accommodation and Kasara, a collection of bespoke townhouses. It is world-renowned for its dry champagne powder snow in the winter and in the summer, guests are awed by the breathtaking wildlife, fresh harvest and a wide array of outdoor recreation including golf, trekking and horse riding.
