Archon Hospitality K.K. was established in January 2003, amidst a climate of active real estate investment and revitalization of hotel operations in the Asia/Pacific region with a focus on Japan. In addition to management of hotel properties as financial assets, we recognize the need to maximize value by supporting operational environments that attract talented staff.
With Japan as its main base of operations, Archon Hospitality has become a key player in numerous projects in the Asia/Pacific region. The team of hotel management experts assembled by Chief Operating Officer Ernesto A'de Lima has developed a successful management support program in response to various market conditions, making Archon Hospitality a driving force behind the growth of the Goldman Sachs Group hotel business.
Amidst significant potential for continued growth in the hotel business, Archon Hospitality is slated to play an increasingly vital role as a property management company with a focus on growing the value of our hotel assets.
To actualize our brand message of "Maximizing hotels' value with 6 star hospitality" Archon Hospitality K.K. fields a cadre of talented staff with hands-on experience in actual operations and in management analysis, providing professional support for management and operations of hotel assets held by the Goldman Sachs Group.
The ability to provide strategic, tailored support to meet specific needs and market environments ranging from city-center and business hotels to resort properties is what sets Archon Hospitality apart, and we are working to actively expand our sphere of influence into the Asia/Pacific region beyond Japan. Aiming to further raise the quality of hospitality at group hotels, we are organizing General Manager Meetings and various workshops on a regular basis. Targeting maximum value in both facilities and service, our mission is to focus on the unique strengths of each hotel, achieving efficient management and operations and establishing our properties as examples of excellence in their own markets.
Backed by the organizational power of Goldman Sachs Realty Japan Limited and the Goldman Sachs Group, our ultimate goal is to maximize the value of the Group's hotel assets and create the optimum win-win scenario for our customers, our properties, our owners and our investors.
