Not a luxury hotel I would choose to stay at, it's like if General Electric in the US decided to enter the luxury hotel business, but it's not such an unusual move for an Asian business conglomerate, in Japan Mitsui and Mitsubishi (through Mitsubishi Estate) are conglomerates into everything from pencils to jet airplanes, and yes, luxury hotels too.
