Hyatt brings Alila to Japan, and hands the keys to a Japanese developer
A 60-room onsen retreat in Hakone, designed by Kengo Kuma, marks Alila's Japan debut. The structure is a joint venture, not a management deal, and the opening is years away.
Hyatt Hotels Corporation is bringing its Alila brand to Japan for the first time, with a property called Alila Sengokuhara Hakone planned for Sengokuhara, inside Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, according to the company. Hyatt says the resort will hold 60 guestrooms, including 11 suites, and that every room will have its own private natural hot-spring bath. The project is targeted for 2028.
