Travelodge Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

Project Overview: Hotel Renovation in Kyoto
This project involved the renovation of a new hotel in Kyoto. Following the successful opening of Travelodge Honmachi Osaka in late September 2022, we were once again appointed by a Malaysian investment firm for this development.

Strategic Stakeholder Management
The key to this project was supporting the decision-making process among a diverse group of domestic and international stakeholders across hotel ownership, management, and operations. Architecturally, the challenge lay in navigating Kyoto’s uniquely strict public regulations and construction constraints. Our team managed these complexities effectively to ensure all legal and technical requirements were met.

A Seamless Cross-Border Partnership
Acting as the central point of contact, we provided comprehensive management that bridged both architectural technicalities and business planning coordination. A major factor in our success was our ability to leverage our presence in both Japan and Malaysia, establishing a simultaneous bilateral management system that ensured smooth communication across borders.

Rapid Delivery through Expertise
By maximizing the synergy and renovation expertise gained from the Travelodge Honmachi Osaka project, we achieved a remarkably fast turnaround. The hotel successfully opened just eight months after the initial kickoff.
