Tokyu Corporation (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President Masahiro Horie) and Tokyu Hotels & Resorts Co., Ltd. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President Takashi Takei) announced that on Monday, July 6, 2026, the "Kawasaki King Skyfront Tokyu REI Hotel" will be rebranded as "The HOTEL Well-hub Haneda" and will open as a new hotel brand with the concept of an "experience-design hotel."

With this rebranding, the hotel will be reborn as a "Base Camp for Japanese Experiences," connecting travelers visiting Japan from around the world with nature, sports, and cultural experiences across Japan.


Since its opening in 2018, based on its experience of continuous activities with the local community, this hotel will restart as a hotel that provides experiential value spanning urban, natural, and cultural aspects. Against the backdrop of increasing inbound tourism demand and a continuous rise in international passenger numbers at Haneda Airport, the hotel will leverage its location as an international gateway close to Haneda Airport and the rich waterfront environment of the Tama River. Its primary target audience will be new affluent travelers visiting Japan from around the world who wish to deeply understand Japanese culture and its rich natural environment through their own physical experiences. The hotel will propose a new style of stay, serving as a hub for these travelers to embark on journeys to various cultural and natural sites across Japan.

◆ Story ~ The Return of an Eight-Year-Old Vision and the Dawn of "Chapter Two" ~

Born in 2018 as a lifestyle hotel emphasizing experiences in a unique location across the Tama River from Haneda Airport, where there had previously been no accommodation base, this hotel will enter a new stage as "The HOTEL Well-hub Haneda" in July 2026, eight years later. Conceived as a hotel where diverse experiences gather within an architectural space inspired by a warehouse, it aimed to be an experiential base for urban stays, not just a transit hotel, by leveraging its proximity to Haneda Airport.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic, which struck the world shortly after its opening, temporarily forced a halt to its planned development as an experience-design hotel for inbound travelers. Nevertheless, for these eight years, the hotel continued its activities with the local community, including SUP events on the Tama River, music festivals in collaboration with the community, food bank activities on the riverbed, cycling events utilizing its location adjacent to the Tama River cycling road, and local cleanup activities, striving to remain an experiential hub connecting the city, nature, the hotel, and the community. The hotel positioned these eight years as a period to deepen its concept, and now, against the backdrop of the recovery in the inbound travel market, it has decided to restart with a rebranding that further evolves its initial vision. This is not the birth of a new hotel, but the return of an eight-year-old vision and the dawn of "Chapter Two."
