The following document serve as a press release.

 

TOKYO(May 27, 2024) – Kiraku, Inc. (“Kiraku”) and Hyatt Hotels Corporation (“Hyatt”NYSE:H)  today announced that ATONA, the modern hot spring ryokan (Japanese-style inn) brand, will open properties in Yufu, Yakushima, and Hakone.
The ATONA brand was announced in 2022 under a joint venture between a Hyatt affiliate and Kiraku, a Japanese company dedicated to preserving valuable assets for future generations. The first ATONA ryokans (https://www.atona.co) are slated to open in 2026 across some of Japan’s top hot spring destinations and areas of natural beauty.

About ATONA
In 2022, Kiraku and a Hyatt affiliate formed Atona Co., Ltd., a strategic joint venture to develop a new luxury onsen (hot spring) ryokan business targeting sophisticated global travelers. Atona, led by chief operating officer Satoshi Watanabe, is comprised of seasoned professionals in international hotel management and operations who have a deep understanding of Japanese culture. The joint venture leverages Kiraku’s experience in regional business development and private equity investments in combination with Hyatt’s expertise in global hospitality.
“ATONA” is an expression of deep connection – a combination of two old Japanese words ( 吾汝) that means “meand you.” It embodies the joy of spending time with loved ones, away from the bustle of everyday life, providing guests with bespoke experiences that connect them to the land through meaningful encounters with the local culture, nature and activities. Each ATONA ryokan will embrace a “small luxury” concept focused on hot springs and unique destinations, with wellbeing and culinary experiences unique to their locales. Featuring modern design grounded in Japan’s rich cultural heritage and history, ATONA properties will typically have 30 to 50 guestrooms, and will feature restaurants with open kitchens and bars showcasing seasonal ingredients.
Kenya Hara, one of Japan’s leading designers, serves as brand director of ATONA and brings extensive knowledge of Japanese traditions and aesthetics. Joining him are architects Shinya Kojima and Ayaka Kojima of Kooo– a Tokyo and Shanghai-based practice dedicated to crafting spaces that foster community, rejuvenate human connections and preserve local craftmanship.

关于ATONA
2022年,Kiraku和凯悦关联公司以国际旅行者为目标客户,为打造一个全新的奢华温泉旅馆业务,成立了ATONA战略合资企业。COO渡部贤带领的ATONA团队由国际酒店管理和运营方面经验丰富的专业人士组成,他们对日本文化有着深刻的了解。新品牌「吾汝 ATONA」结合了Kiraku 在区域业务开发和私募股权投资方面的经验,以及凯悦在全球酒店业的专业知识和业绩记录。

“吾汝”是一个日本古语的词汇,表示“我和你”,是一种深度联系的表达。「吾汝 ATONA」希望通过与当地文化、自然和活动进行有意义的接触,提供客人们远离繁忙的日常生活,和最亲的家人朋友共度快乐时光的美妙空间。每家 ATONA都将秉承“小奢华”的概念,专注于在独特的目的地中打造地域化的日式温泉空间,并提供当地独有的康养和美食体验。ATONA 采用基于日本历史文化的现代设计,计划运营 30 至 50 间客房的小型酒店设施,并设有带开放式厨房的餐厅和展示时令食材的酒吧。

最初多个ATONA酒店的建筑设计由小大建筑设计事务所(kooo architects)的建筑师小嶋伸也和小嶋绫香负责。这是一家位于东京和上海的建筑事务所,致力于打造保护当地工艺和重振人际关系的创意空间。同时日本顶尖设计师原研哉担任了品牌总监,并带来了他对日本传统美学的博识。

ATONA将会成为凯悦全球作品中重要的一员,也是该集团旗下第一个源自日本的品牌。充分尊重日本旅馆文化的传统,ATONA会给世界各地的旅行者提供纯正的当地体验和现代的舒适设施,助他们探索日本的独到魅力。
