It all began with our founder’s belief that authentic connections make people happy. In the world we live in today, majority of our day is spent communicating via some form of digital device. Due to technological advancement over the years, the human touch has become foreign and person-to-person interaction has declined significantly. By building hotels which focus on ‘connection’, everything from design, programming of events, hiring of Connectors to the type of traveller Emblem Hotels attract, it all brings us back to the core focus of our hotels’ philosophy – authentic connection makes people happy. We are currently operating in four locations: - Emblem Hostel Nishiarai, Tokyo http://emblem-hostel.com/ apartment/ - Emblem Flow Hakone http://emblemflow.com/
