In the statement on Tuesday, Hilton area vice-president (head of Japan, Korea and Micronesia) Timothy Soper said, “We are delighted to partner with Ken Corp to bring our first Hilton hotel to Yokohama, as we mark our 60th anniversary in Japan since we introduced Hilton Tokyo in 1963.

“Its strategic location provides not only a geographical advantage, but also offers a gateway to a diverse range of cultural experiences, seamlessly catering to both business and leisure travellers. I am confident that Hilton Yokohama will deliver exceptional service and offer memorable experiences for all our guests,” Soper added.

The statement highlighted that Hilton Yokohama is situated adjacent to Music Terrace — a purpose-built music venue and waterfront complex featuring components such as K-Arena Yokohama, an arena with a seating capacity of over 20,000, and a state-of-the-art K-Tower Yokohama office building.

The hotel is located 20km away from the Haneda Airport and an 11-minute walk from the Yokohama Station. The hotel is also five minutes from the Shin-Takashima train station, providing access to Japan's largest Chinatown, the Yokohama Hammerhead complex, Landmark Tower, and the historic city of Kamakura.
