Mitsui Fudosan Hotel Management (headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Ryo Sugiyama) is set to hold its annual ‘Housekeeping Week’ from September 13 to September 19, 2026, across its hotels nationwide. The initiative aims to show appreciation to the cleaning and facility management staff who remain out of the spotlight but play a crucial role in ensuring that guests have a pleasant experience during their stay. This internal event will feature various activities such as displaying gratitude messages, distributing gifts, and decorating staff spaces during the week.
Through this special week, Mitsui Fudosan Hotel Management seeks to express heartfelt thanks to all staff members, regardless of nationality or language, who work together to support hotel operations. It is a time to acknowledge the essential contributions of these dedicated professionals and highlight the teamwork that makes each hotel a welcoming environment for guests.
What is Housekeeping Week?
Originating in the United States, Housekeeping Week is dedicated to honoring the professionals involved in cleaning and facility management. This annual event is a time to recognize the hard work and commitment of these individuals who ensure that hotel environments are not only clean but also comfortable and appealing for visitors.
Highlights from Last Year
During the previous year’s event, hotels provided colorful stationery for staff members to write messages of appreciation, along with snacks and drinks as tokens of gratitude. Some hotels even showcased messages from guests, expressing their thanks directly to the cleaning staff, enhancing the sense of community and appreciation within the hotel.
