About New Otani Hotels, The Ebetsu
Managed by the New Otani Co., Ltd., the New Otani Hotels have a long history in Japan. Their flagship hotel opened its doors in 1964 and has since grown to include 20 more hotels, 2 of which are found outside Japan. Locations are strategically chosen so that guests can find one New Otani Hotel close to their favored activity when visiting Japan. Since then, the chain continues to maintain highly rated hotels with all the amenities needed for a luxurious stay, putting it amongst one of the top hospitality companies in Japan. In fact, it is often referred to as one of the 3 great hotels.
Cities where New Otani Hotels can be found include Kanto, Hokkaido, Hokuriku, Chubu, Kyushu, Kansai, and Chugoku. There is also the Hotel New Otani Tokyo which proudly hosted visitors during the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games.
These hotels are a landmark by themselves, boasting of a façade that’s ultra-modern even as the interior comes with hints of the Japanese culture. The main and flagship hotel of the brand also welcomed notable guests including Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Bill Clinton, UK Prime Minister Theresa May, and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. This was also a choice location for movie films including the 1967 James Bond film You Only Live Twice.
