Niseko Village signs new hotel agreement with Marriott

December, 6th 2017

Marriott International and owner of Niseko Village YTL Hotels today announced an agreement for two new hotels at Niseko Village.

The EDITION and W hotels will further complement the luxury hotel experience in the fully integrated Niseko Village. YTL Hotels’ prominent presence in the powder mecca of Japan – Niseko Village in Hokkaido – is growing with the upcoming development of a Ritz-Carlton Reserve.

The highly lauded ski resort currently features two existing hotels, The Green Leaf and Hilton Niseko Village with ski-in ski-out accommodation and Kasara, a collection of bespoke townhouses. It is world-renowned for its dry champagne powder snow in the winter and in the summer, guests are awed by the breathtaking wildlife, fresh harvest and a wide array of outdoor recreation including golf, trekking and horse riding.
