Toyoko Inn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Toyoko Inn (Japanese: 東横イン) is a chain of business hotels in Japan.
The company was founded in January 1986, and is headquartered about halfway between Tokyo and Yokohama; its name is a portmanteau of those two cities' names.
Toyoko Inn aims for uniformity in its hotels, using as many prefabricated and bulk-purchased components as possible to reduce costs.[1] The company has grown rapidly, more than doubling its number of hotels from 61 in December 2002 to 126 in May 2006, with typical rates (as of May 2006) between 4800 and 6800 yen per night for a single room.[2] Nearly all its hotels are in Japan; the exception is one in Shenyang, China.
