Kyushu Railway Company has signed Marriott International on for the management of its hotel in Nagasaki, Japan, which will be part of a 13-storey mixed-use development and connected to the new Nagasaki Station.

The 200-room Nagasaki Marriott Hotel is expected to open in 2023. It will be the first Marriott International property in Nagasaki, and the ninth hotel under the Marriott Hotels brand to enter Japan.

Karl Hudson, area vice president, Japan, and Guam with Marriott International, said: “This signing further underscores Marriott International’s commitment to expanding its presence in Japan and we look forward to providing travellers with more opportunities to create inspiring connections and moments of self-discovery while travelling in Japan.”

Facilities at Nagasaki Marriott Hotel will include several distinct culinary dining outlets, the brand’s signature M Club executive lounge, a fitness centre, and a customisable function room for business or social gatherings.
