YTL Hotels to open new hotel with in-house onsen

YTL Hotels will add a new hotel to its Niseko Village in Japan this December. The Hinode Hills Niseko Village features 79 bedrooms and suites, and joins The Green Leaf Niseko Village, Hilton Niseko Village, and Kasara Niseko Village Townhouse.

Named to pay homage to the rising sun, the luxury all-suite hotel is designed with a ‘wabi-sabi’ aesthetic, unveiling its beauty through authenticity, natural forms, and the appreciation for nature.

Blending warm contemporary style with authentic Japanese aesthetics, Hinode Hills is situated at the base of Mount Niseko Annupuri and occupies a prime position at the heart of Niseko Village with views of Mount Yotei.

The resort will feature ski-in, ski-out access, an in-house onsen, and a host of ski services.

“Hinode Hills raises the bar for luxury developments in Niseko and is committed to providing guests with a truly integrated and seamless experience,” said Luke Hurford, senior vice president of strategy at YTL Hotels.

YTL Hotels owns and manages a collection of resorts, hotels, boutique experiences and Spa Villages with a hospitality footprint across Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, China, Japan, Australia, and Europe.

Its spa team includes Lai-Ping Chik, Sylvia Sepielli and Melissa Mettler.

The group also co-owns the Eastern & Oriental Express luxury train.
