Hospitality at Marriott Hotels in Kyushu
Marriott Hotels, a distinguished member of the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio featuring over 30 exceptional hotel brands, has proudly inaugurated the Nagasaki Marriott Hotel. This marks the flagship brand's entrance into Kyushu, the southernmost main island of Japan, and the ninth Marriott Hotel within the country. Nestled in Nagasaki, a city adorned with a captivating fusion of Japanese, Chinese, and Dutch culture, the hotel adds a touch of luxury to this historically significant location, which served as Japan's only open port to foreign trade during the 16th century.
Linked directly to JR Nagasaki Station, the hotel provides seamless access to Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen and local JR lines, ensuring convenience for guests. Notable nearby attractions include the Dejima Messe Nagasaki Convention Hall, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Glover Garden, the Atomic Bomb Museum, and Peace Park and visitors can embark on a boat ride from Nagasaki Port to Hashima Island, renowned as Battleship Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site embodying Japan's industrial revolution remnants.
