(Singapore) --- Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts
has sealed a strategic alliance with the Tokyu Hotels that will see the
incorporation of five leading hotels in Japan to its network of fine properties
in the Asia Pacific Rim. The hotels are the Cerulean Towers Tokyu, Capitol
Tokyu Hotel, Nagoya Tokyu Hotel, Kyoto Tokyu Hotel and Osaka Tokyu Hotel.
The properties enjoy prime locations within Japan�s major cities and are
popular with local and overseas visitors. The alliance took effect on June
16, 2003.
On the significance of the alliance, Mr Ichigo Umehara, President of Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts said, �The alliance will strengthen Pan Pacific�s presence in Japan and benefit our business and leisure customers - many of who are repeat guests - as they now have an expanded choice of premium hotels at which to stay. �At the same time, by being part of an established global network like Pan Pacific, the five Tokyu hotels can tap into a significantly wider customer base which will help to enhance their image as international hotels as well as increase overall business. �We are also looking to integrate their already high standards of service with Pan Pacific�s brand promise of personalised care and service excellence to differentiate them from other leading hotels in Japan.� On the alliance, Mr Hiroji Takemura, Managing Director of Tokyu Hotel Chain said, �Tokyu Hotels has an established relationship with Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts that goes back a long time. It is based on trust and responsibility, made easier because both companies share similar philosophy towards how we do business, how we treat our guests, employees and stakeholders, the delivery of service and most importantly, commitment to society. �We have the greatest confidence that this alliance with Pan Pacific will be mutually beneficial to both our companies and customers, and look forward to exploring other areas where we can have the advantage of a successful synergistic relationship.� About the Hotels Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel
