Okinawa Harborview Hotel Commences Major Renovation for its 50th Anniversary

The Okinawa Harborview Hotel has begun a major renovation project aiming for a grand reopening at the end of 2025.

The interior will feature a unified, calm tone color scheme, with an expanded garden pool area and a new poolside bar. In addition to the 352 guest rooms, the front desk, lobby lounge, pool, spa, and restaurant will also undergo renovations. The construction period is until the end of November 2025, with completion scheduled for December of the same year. The total construction cost is approximately 3.5 billion yen.

The Okinawa Harborview Hotel opened in 1975, aligned with the Okinawa International Ocean Exposition. Its name originates from being located on the site of the “HARBOR VIEW CLUB,” a members-only social club for American residents in Okinawa at the time, and because the site overlooked a river nearby during its construction. It expanded with the addition of a South Wing in 1983. The hotel was operated as the Okinawa Harborview Hotel Crowne Plaza from 2007 and then as the ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Okinawa Harborview in 2013, until it left the IHG group in 2019 and acquired its current name.

In July, Japan Hotel REIT Investment Corporation acquired the real estate trust beneficiary rights and the movable properties of the hotel for 21.5 billion yen. The Hotelier Group Naha is leasing it with a fixed rent, and it will shift to a combination of fixed and variable rent from August 2026. In October, it was revealed that the adjacent land was acquired for 62.82 million yen to be used for material transportation routes and storage, with plans to rent it out as a parking lot in the future.
