This collaborative effort closely aligns with the values outlined in the recently signed pact, emphasizing a commitment to environmentally responsible practices and the integration of smart systems to enhance efficiency. The architectural design and technological infrastructure of Hotel101-Niseko are carefully crafted to promote sustainability through green-inspired architecture and the implementation of eco-friendly operational practices.

By embedding a sustainable ethos in both our hotel construction and day-to-day operations, we not only protect the environment and appeal to the eco-conscious guests of today but also reduce operational costs, ensuring the long-term viability of Hotel101.”
“In the challenging environment of Hokkaido’s winter, achieving a green rating is no small feat, and we take pride in announcing that Hotel101-Niseko is poised to become the first CASBEE-rated hotel in Niseko,” Ms. Yulo-Luccini added.
Attaining a CASBEE rating underscores Hotel101-Niseko’s position as a leading exponent of green hospitality solutions, showcasing its success in integrating environmental considerations into every aspect of its architecture and operations. Situated on a 1.17-hectare site in Niseko-Hirafu, Hokkaido Prefecture, Hotel101-Niseko is strategically located amidst the region’s natural splendor, chosen for its commitment to environmental preservation. Hotel101 Global aims to deliver an eco-conscious hospitality experience that resonates with guests’ environmental values and meets the stringent sustainability standards set by the local community.
“With the upcoming Bullet Train connecting Tokyo to Niseko directly, the 482-room Hotel101-Niseko project, poised to be one of the largest hotels in Niseko, is positioned to become the premier hotel destination for both local Japanese and international tourists visiting Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan,” stated DoubleDragon Chairman Edgar Injap Sia II.
