Okura Nikko Hotel Management will acquire and rebrand Grand Pacific Le Daiba, a luxury hotel in Tokyo, owned by Keikyu Corporation. The hotel will reopen on July 1 as Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba, the first Grand Nikko-branded hotel in Japan.

Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba, just a 20-minute drive from Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport, is located on the artificial island of Odaiba in Tokyo Bay, a major commercial, residential and leisure area in the city. It is directly connected to Daiba station on the Yurikamome elevated transit system, allowing easy access to the many commercial complexes nearby.

The 30-storey, 884-room Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba boasts panoramic views across Tokyo Bay, overlooking many iconic landmarks of the expanding Tokyo Metropolis, including the Rainbow Bridge. It will offer 17 banquet and meeting rooms, nine restaurants and bars, a fitness club, an outdoor swimming pool, and a beauty-treatment clinic.

“Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba will be renovated between now and 2020, ensuring a warm welcome for Japanese visitors and the ever-increasing number of travellers from overseas,” says Marcel P. van Aelst, president and CEO of Okura Nikko Hotel Management. www.okura-nikko.com
