Hilton and YTL Hotels have expanded their partnership to include multiple property agreements across Thailand and Japan.

The latest agreements will see the introduction of LXR Hotels and Resorts to Thailand and Tapestry Collection by Hilton to Japan. The Rawai Phuket and Kasara Niseko Village will join Hilton’s LXR Hotels and Resorts portfolio, The Green Leaf Niseko Village will join Hilton’s Tapestry Collection by Hilton pipeline, and the Hinode Hills Niseko Village is slated to join Curio Collection by Hilton. “The signing of these hotels with our existing partner, YTL Hotels, demonstrates the strong conversion appeal of our luxury and lifestyle brands and our proven track record in repositioning assets to deliver exceptional returns backed by our industry leading commercial engine,” said Hilton Senior Vice President, Development, Asia Pacific, Clarence Tan. “The new hotels also tap into rising consumer demand for adventure and excitement in highly sought-after locations in Asia Pacific.” The Rawai Phuket, expected to open by 2027, will debut on the southern tip of Phuket, offering a 275-room beachfront hotel. Kasara Niseko Village, The Green Leaf Niseko Village and Hinode Hills Niseko Village are all located within Niseko Village Ski Resort at the foot of Mount Annupuri, offering easy access to Niseko’s ski slopes. The Kasara Niseko Village is a conversion of the eight-villa Kasara Niseko Village Townhouse, while The Green Leaf Niseko Village is a conversion of the existing 200-bedroom hotel of the same name. The Hinode Hills Niseko Village is slated to be the second Curio Collection by Hilton property in Japan. The Japan hotels are set to open at the end of this year. “These hotels will each transform the potential of their destinations, offering new stay options for visitors and each well positioned to provide an elevated hospitality experience,” said YTL Hotels Executive Director, Dato’ Mark Yeoh Seok Kah “With Hilton’s industry-leading brands and international distribution, our hotels are well positioned to capture growing tourism arrivals in these thriving locations.”
