Nagasaki Marriott Hotel — Hotel in Nagasaki

One of the best hotel rooms we’ve stayed so far in Japan. From The Japan Times and it is ALL TRUE! Stay here if you are in the city.

Marriott has opened a hotel in 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 is less than two 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 square-meter 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 center, and an 160-square-meter 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 fascinating traditions and offers visitors a wonderful glimpse into the long and storied history of Japan,” said Cy West, General Manager, Nagasaki Marriott Hotel. “We are raising the bar for hospitality in Nagasaki with a heartfelt service reflecting the Marriott brand’s living legacy of placing people first. By providing experiences elevated beyond the everyday we aim to make Nagasaki a must-see destination for domestic and international...

This is by far the best hotel in Japan. As a long-time Titanium member, I have stayed in many Marriott hotels across Japan, mostly in Tokyo, and Marriott Nagasaki stands out in several ways:

The hotel is very new, with clean and modern facilities. The shower room is a highlight, with both a handheld hose and a ceiling-mounted "waterfall" shower. What I really liked is that both can be used at the same time, and the controls are simple buttons. The design feels minimalist and functional, reflecting a "zen" approach (even though the system is German-made).

The location is excellent, right next to Nagasaki Station and a shopping mall. It’s very convenient, and I enjoyed exploring the area and trying the local food.

The staff are amazing—helpful, friendly, and professional. They gave me great restaurant recommendations every day, so I didn’t even need to look anything up online. They speak English fluently, and I suspect some staff can speak other additional languages based on their accents.

The complementary breakfast for elite members is excellent, with a wide variety of dishes. They have many Japanese options, including local Nagasaki dishes, which were so good that I didn’t feel the need to go out looking for local food elsewhere.

The club lounge is open 24/7, is clean, and offers a nice view. The staff there are kind and attentive, and the food and drinks are good (though I wish they had potato shochu and brandy).

A special highlight for me was that even though my Suite Night Upgrade request was rejected, I was upgraded to a corner suite upon check-in. The suite was large, well-designed, and had a big balcony with beautiful views of the mountains and ocean. The rainy and windy weather during my stay didn’t bother me much because the room was so comfortable. As someone who often travels just to stay at Marriott hotels, I really enjoyed my time here. Highly...

Definitely a 5 star experience and stay.

Located just next to Nagasaki JR station, a big mall (with restaurants, cafe, supermarket, loads of local delicious Japanese dessert) and 5 mins walk to the streetcar/tram station, the location is amazing and conveniently located. The hotel is also located in the middle of Nagasaki tourist destination makes it a 15-20 mins travel max to Mount Inasa, Chinatown, Nagasaki Peace Park, Nagasaki Seaside Park, Sofukuji temple, Suwajinja shrine, etc

Japanese hotels typically have great service to start with however the Marriott Nagasaki took it to another level. The staff at the reception, to the breakfast area, club and welcome lobby area was friendly and helpful. Well done ! 5 star service!

Room is spacious/big for Japanese standard, very clean and loads of amenities. We had the room on the highest floor, facing Mount Inasa which was amazing especially night. It comes with a balcony as well.

The only thing that potentially can be better is the lounge experience. The food variety served at the lounge. We stayed for 3 nights and it was the same. Also the lounge can be crowded. Was not aware that reservation is needed to enter especially when it’s crowded. The first 2 days didn’t have to make reservation however on the 3rd day, was told to wait in the room and wait for a call. By the time we can enter the lounge, they stop serving food.

Saying that, will I return again? For sure if I visit Nagasaki and if the price remains around...
