TOKYO, May 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Up-and-coming
Japanese real estate developer Global Agents Co.
Ltd has just announced the grand opening of the third
location of their luxury capsule hotel brand 'The
Millennials'. The first two locations in Kyoto and Tokyo are currently ranked No. 1 in their
class in Japan and have attracted
waves of overseas guests and plenty of attention from foreign
media. Global Agents decided to establish another branch of the
wildly popular concept in Southern
Japan on the third floor of its brand new hotel venture
"The Lively" in the bustling Hakata District of Fukuoka. Both hotels will open in
July 2019.
Global Agents is the first company in Japan to bring two distinct hotel concepts
into a single, fluid space that encourages new experiences and
communication between hotel guests. The Millennials will offer
guests affordable accommodations with an average rate of
¥5,000/night, but they will also be able to enjoy all of the unique
services and common areas offered by a luxury hotel (The Lively),
including the bar, 100-seat restaurant, a spacious coworking lounge
for digital nomads and mobile entrepreneurs, two banquet halls and
a daily "Happy Hour" with free draft beer every day from
5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
The Millennials re-imagines the capsule hotel concept through
high-tech facilities and social areas to bring a formerly
utilitarian concept into the realm of semi-luxury. With over 114
multi-functional Smart-Pod units, The Millennials provides guests
with full control of their personal unit through an integrated iPod
Touch provided at check-in. These controls correspond to several
unique and thoughtful functions, including a soundless alarm system
that brings guests in bed to a seated position instead of making
disturbing noise and in-room projectors that make use of each
unit's built-in privacy screen. The Millennials immerses guests in
modern amenities and invites them to try "Living in the future."
The Millennials brand has gained popularity with foreign guests
because of the high-tech SmartPods, which are controlled
through an in-house app which allows guests to control all
functions of their sleeping arrangements with ease. Guests can
change the lighting, air-flow, and even adjust the incline of their
mattress. Some of the SmartPods are also equipped with projectors
and guests can connect their personal devices to watch any of their
favorite programs and turn their SmartPod into their own private
theater. Each unit comes with storage under the bed for luggage
which can be locked for guests staying consecutive nights.
Tourism in Japan's Kyushu area
is expected to grow exponentially in the near future. Fukuoka City holds the record for the highest
growth in MICE tourism of any city in Japan, particularly with millennials from
East Asia, with a record 18
million visitors recorded in 2017 and a 15 percent increase in
foreign visitors over the last five years. The Millennials Hotel is
expected to meet the growing demand for high-tech and affordable
accommodation in the area. The Lively Hakata is the first location
of Global Agents' brand new series of lifestyle hotels. The company
already has plans to open three more premium locations this year in
Osaka, Kawasaki and Tokyo. Global Agents has enjoyed great success
in the Tokyo rental market with
Social Apartment, their brand of co-living spaces, and the company
already has plans to open six new hotels throughout Japan this year, as well as their first
international hotel in Taipei
(Taiwan), currently scheduled to
open Fall 2019.
