Marriott has opened a hotel on Japan’s southernmost island
of Kyushu.
Directly connected with JR Nagasaki Station, the
Nagasaki Marriott Hotel provides guests with convenient access to Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen and local JR lines,
whilst Fukuoka Airport (FUK) is less than 2 hours’ drive away.
Nearby landmarks include the new Dejima Messe Nagasaki
Convention Hall and the iconic UNESCO World Heritage-listed Glover
Garden, as well as the Atomic Bomb Museum and Peace Park.
Travelers looking to further explore the city’s landmarks can hop
on a boat ride from Nagasaki Port to another UNESCO World Heritage site
- Hashima Island, better known as Battleship Island, famous for
its modern ruins that embody Japan’s past manufacturing
revolution.
“We are delighted to expand our portfolio of
flagship Marriott Hotels in Japan with the opening of the first
Marriott hotel in Nagasaki,” said Karl Hudson, Area Vice President
Japan and Guam, Marriott International. “As global travelers’
needs and expectations evolve, so does Marriott Hotels, which have
always led the travel industry with innovations that embrace
style, design and technology. True to the brand’s rich legacy of
placing people first, Nagasaki Marriott Hotel is set to serve
guests in this wonderful city that awaits exploration of its
fascinating history and culture."
The design narrative of Nagasaki Marriott Hotel by
renowned architect Kume Sekkei is a representation of
Nagasaki’s past, with the exterior
inspired by a cruise ship, whilst interiors pay homage to
Nagasaki’s port and sea with patterned marble and natural colors.
Two
thirds of the 207 rooms and suites are equipped with balconies,
whilst the hotel’s 242 sqm Imperial Suite, is one of the largest
hotel suites in Kyushu.
Facilities at the hotel includes a variety of F&B
outlets, Japan’s first M Club executive lounge, a fitness centre,
and an 160-sqm conference room equipped with a terrace that
overlooks the city.
“We are very excited to welcome guests to
Nagasaki, a city with a rich and varied history that is steeped in

into the long and storied history of Japan,” said Cy West, General
Manager, Nagasaki Marriott Hotel. “We are raising the bar for
