Prince Hotels

Prince Hotels

The nihongo|Prince Hotels|プリンスホテル|Purinsu Hoteru|"Prince Hotel" is the name of a hotel chain company, as well as its brand. The company is headquartered in Tokorozawa, Saitama, Japan. It is a subsidiary of Seibu Holdings, Inc. Together with Seibu Railway, Prince Hotels is the core company of Seibu Group. Its subsidiary includes Saitama Seibu Lions, a professional baseball team.

Overview

Seibu Railway, a railway company, tried to expand its business into leisure industry. Its former parent company Kokudo Keikaku, later nihongo|Kokudo|コクド, was a leisure company. Kokudo and Seibu Railway developed many sightseeing areas such as Hakone or Naeba. As such, their hotels became one of the most famous in the country. Originally, hotels branded as "Prince Hotels" were not wholly owned by Prince Hotels Company. Rather, they were operated by different companies, such as Seibu Railway, Kokudo, or Izuhakone Railway.

The management system of Prince Hotels was described as "debt operation" by the media. It borrowed funds from banks, developed a land by the fund, and borrowed more funds with the growth of land values. The system worked in 1960s with Japanese economic growth, until 1990s when the bubble economy "burst".

Under the recent reorganization of Seibu Group, Prince Hotels Company merged with Kokudo. All the "Prince Hotels" are now operated by Prince Hotels Company. Because of the unreasonable expansion in the past, the company has many underperforming facilities. Under the current plan of turnaround, it closed, sold, and plans to close/sell roughly 40 facilities.
