Ace Hotel Expands Its Presence Across Asia Pacific with the Opening of Ace Hotel Kyoto and Ace Hotel Sydney

The iconic Ace Hotel brand, known for its innovative approach to hospitality, is set to further cement its footprint across the Asia Pacific region. Atelier Ace, the creative force behind Ace Hotel, is spearheading this expansion, with recent openings in Kyoto and Sydney, and plans for a new location in Fukuoka, Japan. To bolster its presence, Ace Hotel has enlisted the services of global communications agency PURPLE to serve as its press office in the region.

Ace Hotel Kyoto and Ace Hotel Sydney have already made waves with their unique offerings. Now, attention turns to Fukuoka, where Ace Hotel is set to open its doors in 2027. Developed in partnership with Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd., this new addition promises to redefine hospitality in the vibrant Tenjin neighborhood.

One of the highlights at Ace Hotel Kyoto is the return of the renowned Copenhagen restaurant, noma, led by Chef René Redzepi. Following a sold-out residency in 2023, noma will once again grace the hotel with its presence from October 8 to December 18, 2024. Guests can expect a culinary journey inspired by the flavors of autumn, set against the backdrop of Kyoto’s stunning seasonal foliage.

Meanwhile, Ace Hotel Sydney continues to garner praise for its food and beverage offerings, particularly its rooftop restaurant Kiln. Helmed by Chef-Partner Mitch Orr, Kiln has earned accolades such as Good Food Guide’s New Restaurant of the Year (2022) and Australian Gourmet Traveller’s Top 25 Restaurants of NSW (2023). With a focus on contemporary Australian cuisine and a wood-fired hearth, Kiln delivers an unforgettable dining experience 18 stories above Surry Hills.

In addition to its commitment to culinary excellence, Ace Hotel is renowned for its support of the arts. The launch of a global Artist in Residence program underscores its dedication to fostering creativity. At Ace Hotel Sydney, the program shines a spotlight on Indigenous artists, including Jazz Money, Mia Boe, Solomon Booth, and Madison Gibbs. Meanwhile, Ace Hotel Kyoto’s current AIR program is curated by Takashi Murakami’s Kaikai Kiki Gallery, showcasing the work of talented artists like MOUSO-YATAI Producer, Momo, Mitsuko Watanabe, and Gento.
