Room renovations and booking-site upgrades for family and group stays

「In addition, connecting rooms were newly created at 8 business locations during the current fiscal year. They have been highly rated at locations where they are already available, and we will accelerate their rollout in the next fiscal year.」

「A large communal bath was newly installed at 熊本ワシントンホテルプラザ, while twin rooms and other room types were added to the previously single-room-only properties at the Otsuka, Kyoto and Umeda Washington R&B hotels, enabling the hotels to attract a broader range of customers.」

「At 鹿児島ワシントンホテルプラザ, we also renovated the bathrooms in all guest rooms. In addition, connecting rooms linking 2 single rooms were newly created at 2 business locations, including R&Bホテル名古屋新幹線口, bringing the total number of hotels with connecting rooms to 12.」

「In addition, we completed Wi-Fi speed enhancement work at all business locations, installed エアウィーヴ mattresses in every room at R&Bホテル蒲田東口 and 東京東陽町, and created connecting rooms linking 2 single rooms at R&Bホテル新大阪北口, 京都四条河原町 and 仙台東口, among other initiatives to improve quality and convenience.」

「Under these conditions, as part of our investment in renovating existing hotels, we installed connecting doors linking 2 single rooms in 20 rooms at R&Bホテル京都四条河原町 to improve convenience for multiple-guest stays.」

「Against this backdrop, as an investment to strengthen competitiveness, we carried out major renovations at Nagoya Sakae Washington Hotel Plaza and R&B Hotel Ueno Hirokoji, completed in February 2023 at Nagoya Sakae and March 2023 at Ueno Hirokoji.」

「In addition, as a measure to improve earnings, we are successively carrying out renovation work to expand our customer base and improve convenience for families and groups, including converting some of the predominantly single rooms into twin rooms and connecting rooms.」

「To broaden our customer base and make our hotels more accessible to families and groups, we are carrying out renovation work at 2 hotels, 名古屋栄ワシントンホテルプラザ and R&Bホテル上野広小路, including converting some predominantly single rooms into twin rooms and connecting rooms. Work on some floors was completed in October 2022, and work on all floors is scheduled for completion in February 2023. We will also upgrade the booking site to make reservations easier for customers traveling with children, and roll out a room-sharing plan offering free stays for children of elementary-school age and younger, marketed as “free for children of elementary-school age and younger.” Sales of this plan began at all hotels in October 2022.」

「In the accommodation business, in addition to continuing to target business demand, we will increase the number of rooms suitable for multiple guests as appropriate, including by converting 2 existing single rooms into a twin room, in order to expand our ability to attract families and groups. We will also upgrade our booking site to make it easier for customers traveling with children and others to use, and to ensure that rooms matching their preferences are presented appropriately, thereby expanding our ability to attract tourism and leisure customers.」
