GRIDS HOTEL|GRIDS HOTEL: Starting from a youth hostel, it has been upgraded to an affordable business hotel with quality design

The brand name of GRIDS HOTEL is taken from the meaning of "grid". It originally pursued the characteristics of a hub-type youth hostel, providing general rooms and backpacker beds, adopting a simple design and novel accommodation and bathroom facilities. However, after the subsequent launch of the GRIDS Premium series, it turned to the development of a business hotel with high-quality design, providing affordable accommodation with convenient transportation and practical facilities.

Quick introduction: Service features and basic introduction of Grizz Hotel series

When the GRIS hotel brand was launched, it was based on the brand concept of "The Travellers Hub", using the traditional Japanese Sufang colors and Travelers Hub as the brand image, representing the lively and vibrant life of the common people in the past, and appealing to the concept of enjoying travel and interpersonal communication. In the early days, it focused on youth hostel-type accommodation combined with backpacker dormitories. In 2017, the first brand base was launched in Akihabara, Tokyo.

In 2021, GRIDS launched a new series of the brand - GRIDS Premium, which is positioned as a derivative high-end hotel brand. The hotel has cancelled dormitory-style rooms suitable for backpackers, and all rooms are of hotel-style accommodation standards. At the same time, the light luxury design texture of the hotel is enhanced, breaking away from the rigid design of traditional Japanese business hotels while taking into account transportation convenience. The hotel also provides self-service laundromats, vending machines, microwave ovens and other convenient facilities.
