“We recognise the increasing demand for sophisticated residential lifestyle and personal space when discerning guests make their travel decisions. This trend opens the window of opportunity for Oakwood to differentiate the hospitality landscape in gateway cities. I am confident that Oakwood Suites Yokohama will be a resounding success under Christian’s leadership,” said Dean Schreiber, interim chief executive officer of Oakwood.
Strategically located above Bashamichi Station on the Minato-Mirai Subway line, Oakwood Suites Yokohama occupies the 46th to the 51st floors of The Kitanaka Yokohama Tower, Yokohama’s tallest and largest residential complex.
Guests will enjoy easy access to retail outlets, a supermarket, selection of dining venues as well as a well-known concert hall within the same building. Key attractions such as Yamashita Park, Chinatown and the famous Yokohama Red Brick Warehouses are within walking distance.
All 175 elegantly appointed units offer panoramic views of the city or Yokohama Bay, and span accommodation options that range from cozy studios to luxurious three-bedroom residences, well-suited for guests across all stages of their lives.
Designed to serve as a personal sanctuary, each unit is fully equipped with a kitchenette, washer and dryer. Facilities such as a residents’ lounge, 24-hour fitness centre and restaurant provide elevated convenience, making it the perfect retreat for both leisure and corporate travel.
“Being the city’s first international serviced apartment brand, Oakwood Suites Yokohama will debut our signature hospitality excellence to savvy travellers and senior executives who are accustomed to contemporary luxury. As opposed to traditional hotel experiences, our guests are assured of unobtrusive service that speaks to their need for immaculate service without compromising on their personal space and lifestyle,” said Christian R.
