Quick introduction: Service features and basic introduction of Washington R&B Hotel series
The Washington R&B Hotel brand is positioned as a quick business hotel. The name does not mean rhythm and blues, but a combination of the first letters of "room" and "breakfast", which means that the brand emphasizes the two basic services of room and breakfast. It focuses on practical and clean rooms, plus breakfast mainly consisting of freshly baked bread, providing a cost-effective and affordable accommodation option.
R&B Hotel Washington opened its first brand location in Higashi-Nihonbashi, Tokyo in April 1998, and quickly expanded its locations in major cities in Japan between 4 and 1.
