Core Global Management will rebrand and open “The Grand Castle Naha Shurijo by Hewitt Resort” on January 1, 2027.
The property is the current DoubleTree by Hilton Naha Shuri Castle, a building with 22 floors above ground and 1 basement floor, offering 333 guest rooms. It had been acquired by One REIT Investment Corporation, part of the Mizuho group. After the current contract expires in December, the hotel will be renovated and the operator will be switched to Core Global Management.
Originally opened in August 1973 as Hotel Nikko Naha Grand Castle, the property is expected to undergo renovation of the entrance, front desk, lobby, restaurants, and pool, among other areas. The total construction cost is projected at 180 million yen. The hotel anticipates that revenue per available room (RevPAR) for saleable guest rooms will rise by 24% in four years.
The new brand name is said to inherit the former name “Grand Castle.” Further details will be announced at a press conference on June 30.
