The facility will also include a versatile banquet and conference space. The eco-friendly design emphasizes energy efficiency and sustainability.
“We chose Plano as the site for our new hotel because the area has experienced remarkable development in recent years,” said Takashi Wakai, president of Kintetsu Group Holdings. “It is home to many companies, including Toyota Motors North America, and the local community, including Plano, has welcomed us warmly,” Wakai said.
He added that the hotel’s name “reflects our desire to create a ‘hybrid’ of culture and service, a fusion of Western friendliness and Eastern attention to detail.”
