CapitaLand Ascott Trust acquires Tokyo and Kanazawa hotels for $178.5m

The acquisition price represents an 8.3% discount on the independent valuation.

CapitaLand Ascott Trust has acquired two hotels in Japan for $178.5m (JPY21b).

The two hotels are ibis Styles Tokyo Ginza and Chisun Budget Kanazawa Ekimae in Kanazawa.

The acquisition price represents an 8.3% discount on the independent valuation.

ibis Styles Tokyo Ginza is a 224-unit hotel located next to Ginza Six, a popular high-end retail mall, and near the Uniqlo global flagship store. It is also easily accessible via Higashi Ginza or Ginza Station on Tokyo’s subway network.

Chisun Budget Kanazawa Ekima is a 392-unit hotel near the city’s central business district as well as event and sports venues. It is also within a five-minute walk to the Kanazawa train station and has flight connections with Seoul, Shanghai, and Taiwan.

“Post-acquisition, 18% of CLAS’ total assets are located in the country. With Japan continuing to enjoy strong international travel demand, the two well-located properties are poised to capture demand from travellers visiting Tokyo and Kanazawa. Visitors staying in Tokyo and Kanazawa have already surpassed pre-COVID levels by 23% and 12%, respectively,” Serena Teo, CEO of CapitaLand Ascott Trust Management and the Managers of CLAS said.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
