Nobu Hotels celebrates a decade of game-changing hospitality

2023 marks 10 years since Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace Las Vegas opened its doors, and a decade of Nobu Hotels’ instinctive design, innate passion for service and world-class cuisine. To mark the milestone, shareholders Nobu Matsuhisa and Meir Teper returned to Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace for an evening of celebrations with 300 VIP guests for a chance to reflect on 10 years of game-changing hospitality and look ahead at what is to come. Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro, and Meir Teper comment: “We’re excited to be celebrating this special anniversary for Nobu Hotels and all that we’ve achieved over the last decade. What started as a single hotel in Las Vegas has grown into a portfolio of nearly 40 properties, and that is all thanks to our Nobu family: the incredible team behind Nobu Hospitality.” The evening of celebrations at Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace began with an exclusive reception-style event in Nobu Restaurant & Lounge, where VIP casino and retail guests enjoyed special dishes inspired by 10 different Nobu Hotel and Restaurant locations across North America. The festivities continued with an intimate after-party in the 10,300-square-foot Nobu Hotel Villa, featuring creative cocktails and desserts and an exclusive performance from ABSINTHE by Spiegelworld. Nobu Hospitality CEO Trevor Horwell, Caesars Entertainment executives and the Nobu shareholders took to the stage and toasted 10 years of stirring the hospitality industry on the villa’s terrace surrounded by unparalleled views of the Las Vegas Strip. Sean McBurney, Regional President of Caesars Entertainment, said: “At Caesars Palace, we take great pride in our history of ‘firsts,’ and we are thrilled to count the first Nobu Hotel in the world among them. Ten years after first opening, Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace remains one of our most sought-after resort experiences. Our incredible partnership here with Nobu Hospitality has paved the way for the addition of Nobu Hotels and Restaurants in other Caesars Rewards destinations, including the upcoming Nobu Hotels in Atlantic City and New Orleans.” A Long-Standing Partnership Both synonymous with guest satisfaction, unforgettable moments and delivering luxury through experiences, the partnership between Caesars Entertainment and Nobu Hotels has set new standards for hospitality since Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace Las Vegas opened in 2013 – and it is a partnership that has continued to evolve. The much-anticipated Nobu Hotel Caesars Atlantic City is set to open in January 2024, with a hotel opening within the newly created Caesars New Orleans soon to follow. Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality, said: “This anniversary is a testament to the dedication of our team and the loyalty of our guests. We enter all partnerships thinking long term and our collaboration with Caesars is a clear example of this; the trust we’ve built over the last decade has allowed us to embark on further joint ventures, and I’m excited to see what we’ll achieve together over the next 10 years. From hotels to branded residences, we are incredibly proud of what Nobu Hotels has accomplished over the past 10 years, and we will continue to provide exceptional experiences for many years to come.” Looking Ahead to 2024 With the lifestyle draw of luxury developments, a growing number of home buyers are choosing to live in branded communities. Launching in Los Cabos in 2023, the first Nobu residences offer an exclusive, curated lifestyle encapsulating the heartfelt hospitality, innovative design, and fine ingredients synonymous with the global lifestyle group. Nobu Hotel, Restaurant and Residences Toronto will follow in 2024, spanning two 45-story towers in the former Pilkington Glass Factory in the city’s Entertainment District. The project is another ambitious launch for the brand, with 660 residential units and 36 hotel suites, as well as a unique lifestyle space known as Nobu Centre. Expanding the branded residences is a key part of Nobu’s continued global expansion, with projects in development in Al Khobar, Al Marjan Island, Abu Dhabi, Tulum, Orlando, Punta Cana, Egypt and Da Nang, Vietnam. Next year, the brand will also continue to expand its European footprint, making its hotel debut in both Italy and Portugal with openings in Rome and Lisbon, and welcome a sixth Spanish property to the portfolio - Nobu Hotel Madrid.

Tokyu Hotels unveils new hotel in Kyoto

Earlier this Summer, Tokyu Hotels Group unveiled its latest hotel in the historic Japanese city, Kyoto. THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA by Kyoto Tokyu Hotel is their second luxury property in the city. Located in the Higashiyama area of Kyoto, the hotel embodies traditional Japan and truly embraces the culture of Kyoto. The new hotel was built at the site of the former Kyoto city Shirakawa Elementary School which had been there for over 100 years, and the hotel was designed based on the concept of ‘The Best of the City in the East of Kyoto’. Higashiyama is an area with many cultural and artistic facilities. Close to the hotel, there is also a lot of Western-inspired architecture, which was built in the early Meiji era. This is why, when visiting Higashiyama, visitors can truly feel the diversity of cultures in Kyoto during their stay. For those staying at the hotel, experiencing the beauty in how Japanese culture has been passed down from generation to generation will help to shape the view of modern Japan that so many love today. Craft Editions, the hotel gift shop, has been curated by the Kyoto Museum of Craft and Design. Items have been sourced from local craftspeople in Higashiyama, an area known for its long history of quality craftsmanship. There are many iconic crafts bringing the traditional and modern vibes of Kyoto together, such as traditional Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki poetries, beautiful hand-painted fabrics Kyo-Yuzen and Kyo folding fans, which are all created by the local artists in Kyoto. The Kyoto Museum of Craft and Design has also curated the crafts for the guest rooms and within the restaurant. Experience and Learn the Beauty of Iroha Kyoto was once the capital of Japan for an entire millenia, and has been celebrated as a place steeped in traditional Japanese history and culture. With longstanding respect for tradition, the city has continued to evolve and build upon its cultural heritage. This is most evident in the craftsmanship of the locals, who use Iroha, meaning 'the beauty of fundamental skills', in day-to-day life. For example, the ancient Japanese cuisine practice of Washoku is registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, and there are countless craftspeople evolving cultural heritage using traditional techniques to create new and beautiful crafts, such as tools for tea ceremonies and for dying dazzling colours. The hotel hosts a Kyo Iroha (Iroha of Kyoto) workshop, where guests can learn more about Kyoto city and its fundamental place in Japanese culture from the perspective of the five senses. Experiencing Kyoto through sight, taste, touch, sound, and smell, this activity programme will be exclusive to the hotel guests. THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA by Kyoto Tokyu Hotel will be the place where guests can dive into a traditional and authentic area which intertwines with the history of Kyoto. The hotel carefully inherits the tradition and culture that have been passed down in the Higashiyama area.
