A foothold in one of Asia’s major gateway cities
Frasers Hospitality announced on 12 October 2026 the opening of Fraser Place Roppongi, Tokyo. With this opening, the operator establishes itself in one of the world’s leading international gateway cities, bringing its upscale serviced residence offering to the cosmopolitan heart of the Japanese capital.
The property has 172 keys. It is located in Roppongi, an upmarket residential district and one of Tokyo’s most dynamic cultural and commercial hubs, renowned for its art, dining and entertainment scene.
Chin Fen Eu, CEO of Frasers Hospitality, pointed out that Tokyo remains one of Asia’s most attractive global cities for travel, drawing a diverse mix of international business travellers, leisure visitors and long-stay guests.
A second base in Japan after Osaka
The opening adds to the group’s presence in Japan, which until now consisted of Fraser Residence Nankai in Osaka. Frasers Hospitality is now present in two of the country’s leading urban destinations.
According to Chin Fen Eu, the opening of Fraser Place Roppongi, Tokyo strengthens the group’s Japanese portfolio, building on Fraser Residence Nankai, Osaka, and extending its presence to two of the country’s main urban destinations. She added that it reflects the group’s approach of developing in markets with strong international appeal, with distinctive serviced residence propositions tailored to the needs of each destination.
The announcement comes just days after news of the reorganisation of Frasers Hospitality’s governance and Chin Fen Eu’s departure on 1 January 2027. Leadership of the business will henceforth be split between operations and investment.
A product designed for extended stays
Fraser Place Roppongi, Tokyo targets travellers looking for more than a standard hotel room. Apartments range from studios to two-bedroom units, each equipped with a kitchenette, a washing machine and complimentary Wi-Fi.
The communal spaces follow the same long-stay logic. They include a Residents’ Lounge, a coworking space, a fully equipped indoor gym, meeting rooms suited to business appointments and small gatherings, and a daily breakfast service.
The CEO explained that in Roppongi, guests can immerse themselves in one of Tokyo’s most vibrant neighbourhoods while enjoying the space, privacy and familiar comfort of a home.
Minato: at the heart of the city’s new urban hubs
The property is located in the Minato ward, offering direct access to several of the capital’s landmarks, including Azabudai Hills and Tokyo Tower. The area is also well connected to the rest of the city by public transport.
LTH Analysis – This location places the asset in one of the districts most sought after by Tokyo’s international corporate clientele. It matches the historic core target of Frasers Hospitality’s serviced residence brands, midway between hospitality and short- to medium-term residential.
A portfolio of more than 100 properties in 19 countries
Fraser Place Roppongi, Tokyo joins a portfolio of more than 100 properties across 19 countries. According to the group, the opening confirms its commitment to meeting the needs of a highly mobile international clientele through a portfolio of brands designed around the way guests live, work and travel.
Asia remains a central focus of the operator’s development. It recently announced Fraser Residence BKK1 in Phnom Penh and entered into a partnership with Marriott International to bring The Luxury Collection to Singapore.
LTH Analysis – With Tokyo, Frasers Hospitality adds a capital city that had been missing from its network. The move comes as the group refocuses its model on third-party management and draws a clearer line between its role as an operator and asset ownership.
