Conrad Nagoya Opens

Hilton opened Conrad Nagoya on July 31.

The hotel occupies the 10th and 11th floors and the 31st through 40th floors of The Landmark Nagoya Sakae, a mixed-use complex jointly developed by Mitsubishi Estate, J. Front City Development, Japan Post Real Estate, Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance, and Chunichi Shimbun. The entrance is located on the first floor, while the lobby is on the 31st floor.

The hotel offers 170 rooms across 14 categories, including Deluxe Rooms, Premium Rooms, Executive Rooms, and three suite categories comprising 29 suites. Accessible rooms are also available, including two rooms specifically designated as such.

All guest rooms measure at least 50 square meters and are equipped with a work desk, Nespresso machine, tea set, rain shower, and separate bathtub. The top-floor Conrad Suite spans 213 square meters and includes a private sauna.

Facilities include the signature restaurant Casa Oliva, lobby lounge and café Sundrop, and café and terrace Song Bird on the 31st floor; sushi kaiseki restaurant Soryu, teppanyaki restaurant Soen, and rooftop bar House of Mon on the 40th floor; Conrad Spa, an 18-meter indoor pool, and a 24-hour fitness center on the 32nd floor; and banquet halls and meeting rooms on the 10th and 11th floors.

The Grand Ballroom on the 10th floor has a total area of 342 square meters and features a permanent 250-inch screen as well as two 200-inch LED screens. It can accommodate international MICE events, and the hotel expects to capture demand from international events including the Asian Games to be held this September and the Asian Development Bank Annual Meeting in 2027.

The design concept is “Japanese craftsmanship and bold modernity.” The counter at Soryu is made from 350-year-old hinoki cypress from Gifu Prefecture, while the ventilation hood at Soen was inspired by the obi sash traditionally worn around the waist with kimono. Artworks reflecting Nagoya’s culture are displayed throughout the hotel.

This is Hilton’s second hotel in Nagoya, following Hilton Nagoya, which opened in 1989. It is the third Conrad-branded hotel in Japan, following those in Tokyo and Osaka. Openings have been confirmed for Yokohama in 2027 and Kobe in 2030.

Marcus Kosch has been appointed general manager. He joined Hilton in 1998 and has previously served as opening general manager of Conrad Guangzhou, general manager of Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa, and general manager of Hilton Tokyo Bay.

At a media briefing held on July 30, General Manager Kosch said: “Located on the Dragon Route linking Nagoya, Takayama, Shirakawa-go, and Kanazawa, the hotel is an ideal starting point for journeys through some of Japan’s most appealing destinations. We will provide memorable experiences deeply rooted in this region while working to raise Nagoya’s profile on the international stage.”

At the opening ceremony, Shinichiro Furumoto, Vice Governor of Aichi Prefecture; Ichiro Hirosawa, Mayor of Nagoya; Shizuhito Kayano, Chubu Branch Manager of Mitsubishi Estate; Joseph Khairallah, Hilton’s Area President for Japan, Korea and Micronesia; and Conrad Nagoya General Manager Kosch each delivered remarks to celebrate the opening.

The hotel is directly connected to Sakae Station on the Nagoya Municipal Subway’s Higashiyama and Meijo lines.
