MGallery, Accor’s boutique collection of storied hotels, is proud to announce the signing of Madarao Kogen Hotel
in Japan. This property is a part of a strategic partnership with Patience Capital Group, a real estate and private equity investment management firm recognized for its investments in tourism-related assets across Japan.
Nestled within the heart of the Japan Alps at the northern most part of Nagano Prefecture, Mt. Madarao offers an exceptional retreat in every season. Perched along its scenic slopes, Madarao Kogen Hotel – MGallery Collection marks MGallery’s debut in Japan’s iconic snow region. Celebrated for its abundant and high quality powder snow or “Madapow” and 15 official tree-skiing courses — the most of any resort in Japan — Madarao Mountain Resort is a choice destination, especially for ski enthusiasts.
The existing property will undergo a comprehensive transformation, with its reopening anticipated in late 2027. The resort is planned to offer 80 guest rooms, ranging from standard rooms and deluxe rooms to suites designed to blend Alpine-style comfort with Japanese minimalism, where guests can enjoy a range of signature dining options, including multiple restaurants, a lobby lounge, an offsite “Ski Diner” at the crossroads of the ski runs, and a destination pool bar. Additional facilities planned include conference facilities, hot springs, onsen baths, shops, ski rental services, ensuring an immersive leisure and wellness experience.
Renovations will prioritize sustainability, integrating local materials and energy-efficient technologies while respecting the natural contours and heritage of the site.
Patience Capital Group aims to elevate Madarao to international prominence as a premier four-season mountain destination with a distinct identity, with this MGallery resort forming an integral part of this vision.
With over 120 boutique hotels worldwide, MGallery continues its selective expansion in iconic destinations. Following the 2024 opening of Hôtel Sosei Sapporo – MGallery Collection, the signings of Madarao Kogen Hotel – MGallery Collection and Lime Resort Myoko – MGallery Collection mark the second and third MGallery addresses in Japan, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to authentic, story-driven luxury experiences in exceptional natural environments. With 38 MGallery hotels across Asia Pacific and China as of June 2025 — representing 39% of the brand’s network and over 5,200 rooms — MGallery continues to grow its footprint in the region, most recently with the opening of The Brighton – MGallery Collection in early October.
