Malaysia’s YTL Hotels on Tuesday announced the launch of a new luxury hotel collection, Kasara, which promises “an experience of luxury, authenticity and timelessness.”
The brand will come to life in December with the opening of Kasara Niseko Village Townhouse, located within the group’s ski resort Niseko Village in Hokkaido, Japan. YTL also said it plans to expand the brand to Koh Samui, Thailand, and Pulau Tiga, Borneo, “in the near future.”
Currently, YTL’s hotel collection stands at 24 resorts, hotels and spa villages predominantly across Asia Pacific. More recently, YTL acquired Marriott hotels in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, Australia, and will soon open the heritage-listed The Gainsborough Bath Spa in the United Kingdom.
Scheduled to open December 1, accommodation rates at Kasara Niseko Village Townhouse are listed to begin at US$2,000 per night for a three-bedroom townhouse, which includes bespoke services and priority privileges such as early-morning access to hidden powder stashes guided by a local Niseko Village ski expert.
