History

edit

Nikko Hotels International (NHI) began operations in 1972 as the global hotel brand of Japan Airlines,[2] with its first property located in Jakarta.[3] The first NHI-operated hotel in Japan opened in 1973.[3] Other Nikko properties have been owned and operated by other entities; among the oldest Nikko properties is the Ginza Nikko, which opened in 1959.[4][5]

Nikko Hotels International used to be owned by Japan Airlines Development Company Limited, which in the 1990s was renamed JAL Hotels.[1] Following its acquisition in 2010, it became a subsidiary of Okura Hotels.[1] Hotel Nikko affiliates include the Hotel Royal properties in Southeast Asia.
