Marriott Celebrates 100 Properties In Japan With New Osaka Umeda Hotel

International news
Marriott International, Inc. has achieved a remarkable milestone in Japan with the launch of its 100th property, the Four Points Flex by Sheraton Osaka Umeda. This opening not only celebrates the brand’s entry into Japan but also marks the debut of the Four Points Flex by Sheraton brand in the Asia-Pacific region outside of China. 

Partnering with global investment firm KKR, Marriott continues to strengthen its presence in the midscale hotel segment.

Looking ahead, Marriott plans to open 12 additional Four Points Flex by Sheraton properties across Japan by the end of this year. These openings will introduce the brand to new markets, including Morioka and Kanazawa, further diversifying Marriott’s footprint. By early 2025, a total of 14 properties will have joined the brand through this collaborative expansion with KKR, adding over 3,600 rooms to its portfolio. Key destinations such as Hakodate, Utsunomiya, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, and Hakata will benefit from these additions.
