IHG ANA Hotels Group Japan is set to bring back the ANA Crowne Plaza brand to Okinawa, Japan, with a new management agreement with BHR Okinawa Management GK, a subsidiary of Berjaya Land Berhad.
The 123-room ANA Crowne Plaza Resort Okinawa Uruma Hills is scheduled to open in early 2025, following an extensive renovation to meet the brand's standards.
IHG Hotels & Resorts Japan and Micronesia IHG ANA Hotels Group Japan CEO and managing director Abhijay Sandilya said: "With plans to double our portfolio in Japan, this signing with Berjaya Land Berhad is another important milestone for IHG in realising our ambition. It’s wonderful to be reigniting our relationship with the Berjaya team with our first hotel agreement in Japan.”
The reintroduction of the ANA Crowne Plaza brand in Okinawa marks the continuation of the collaboration between IHG and Berjaya, building on their existing partnership in Vietnam. This venture represents their first joint project in Japan.
Berjaya Land Berhad group CEO Syed Ali Shahul Hameed said: "We are thrilled to deepen our collaboration with the globally renowned IHG brand through this partnership in Japan. The rebranding of ANSA Okinawa Resort to ANA Crowne Plaza Resort Okinawa Uruma Hills marks an exciting milestone, aligning with IHG’s exceptional standards and international network.”
The ANA Crowne Plaza Resort Okinawa Uruma Hills, formerly known as ANSA Okinawa Resort, will offer guests views of the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
Its strategic location on Okinawa's main island provides convenient access to a golf course and cultural landmarks such as Zakimi Gusuku Castle and the Onna-son Community Centre.
Situated a 45-minute drive from Naha Airport, the resort's amenities will include an outdoor swimming pool, gym, karaoke room, restaurant, bar, meeting space, ballroom, and car park.
On joining the IHG system, the ANA Crowne Plaza Resort Okinawa Uruma Hills will become the third IHG property in Okinawa, alongside ANA InterContinental Manza Beach Resort and ANA InterContinental Ishigaki Resort.
Known for its presence in gateway cities, airports, resorts, and suburban areas, Crowne Plaza has a global footprint with 20 operating ANA Crowne Plaza hotels and three in the pipeline in Japan.
