Thailand’s Centara Hotels & Resorts has announced a significant milestone today, when it released news of its new agreement with Taisei Corporation and Kanden Realty & Development, to bring the brand to Japan.
The investor agreement will see the 515 Centara Grand Hotel Osaka, an upper upscale property, arrive in the city’s Namba district – a popular tourist destination – by the middle of 2023.
“Extending the Centara footprint to Japan has been a long-term strategic objective for the company, and this is a major milestone for the Centara brand as we have successfully added the 14th country to our portfolio,” said Thirayuth Chirathivat, Centara’s CEO. “This an exciting opportunity to partner with Taisei and Kanden Realty & Development, whose outstanding track records have earned leading positions in construction and property development.
