This partnership is set to introduce the City Express by Marriott brand to Japan, commencing with the transformation of two existing hotels in Osaka. These locations aim to reopen in the spring of the following year as City Express by Marriott Osaka Namba South and City Express by Marriott Osaka Shin-Imamiya. This marks a milestone for the midscale hotel segment in the Asia Pacific region.
