HOTEL LINNAS
Community-Driven Hotel
【attempt】
An urban casual hotel brand that interprets the context and uniqueness of the city from a unique perspective and proposes new values to travelers and communities.
By having our own creative team accompany the hotel management team, we will form a community with various local players through daily operations, and plan and project inside and outside the hotel with community members. By making general community activities attractive to towns and hotels, we will attract customers without being influenced by hotel market conditions. We call this style of operation "community-driven hotel." As a hotel brand that makes people think, "The presence of LINNAS means that the town is interesting," we aim to expand into towns with hidden charms from all over Japan and around the world.
