A Week of Gratitude: Housekeeping Week

Mitsui Fudosan Hotel Management, located in the heart of Tokyo's Chuo Ward and led by CEO Ryo Sugiyama, is set to launch 'Housekeeping Week' from September 14 to September 20, 2025. This initiative aims to express profound gratitude to the cleaning and facility management staff who play a crucial role in the operation of hotels across the nation. During this week-long event, participating hotels will engage in various activities, including the presentation of gifts, heartfelt messages, and decorative staff spaces, all designed to honor the hardworking individuals who maintain these establishments.

The operation of Mitsui Fudosan's hotels thrives on the collaboration of diverse personnel, transcending nationality and language. The company is committed to fostering an environment where all staff feel appreciated and can take pride in their work. The message of gratitude will be consistently echoed, ensuring that every employee knows their contribution is recognized and valued.

What is Housekeeping Week?

Originating in the United States, Housekeeping Week is an initiative dedicated to acknowledging the professionals involved in cleaning and facility management. It is a time for hotels to recognize the hard work and dedication these unsung heroes contribute daily.
