Millennium & Copthorne Hotels (M&C) will debut in Japan, following the recent JPY9.5 billion (US$95.1 million) purchase of a property located in the Ginza district of Tokyo. Construction of this property is set to be completed by the end of 2014 and the development of this project will be in collaboration with hotel group, Mitsui Garden Hotels, which is owned by Japan's largest property developer, Mitsui Fudosan. The total investment for the acquisition and development is estimated to be JPY14.6 billion. According to M&C Chairman, Kwek Leng Beng, M&C had been trying to break into the Tokyo market since the mid-1990s, which had proven to be challenging due to the high premiums for the Ginza prime real estate area. |

Accor has released results from the second quarter of 2011 and revenues have risen by 6.1% compared to Q2 2010 and has grown faster compared to the 5.8% increase seen in the first quarter of the year. This growth was mainly driven by Accor's properties in the Asia Pacific region, with revenues across the upscale segment increasing by 8.1% and 11.7% in the economy segment. The hotel chain has attributed these increases to a steady rise in occupancy and the recovery of average room rates. Having added 13,700 rooms since the beginning of 2011, Accor is on track to meet its target of 30,000 new rooms by the end of the year. |
