Nagoya to Undergo Major Travel Upgrade with New Hotel and Transit Hub
Hyatt Hotels Corporation has confirmed a long-term development project with Nagoya Railroad Co., Ltd. marking the future arrival of the first Andaz hotel in Japan’s Chubu region. The property will be located within a major new urban complex beside Meitetsu Nagoya Station. The expected opening date is after 2034 and will coincide with the completion of a new transportation hub and high-speed railway line aimed at transforming the city’s central infrastructure.
The upcoming hotel is planned to occupy the upper levels of a newly constructed multi-purpose complex and will feature around 150 guest rooms. Planned amenities include dining venues, a gym, an indoor swimming pool, and conference facilities. Guests will enter through a street-level entrance that connects directly to nearby transportation systems. This development is a component of a broader effort to modernize Nagoya Station by integrating hotel amenities with enhanced transportation facilities.
As Japan continues to captivate travelers from around the world, Hyatt is committed to expanding its brand presence in both urban and regional destinations, carefully selecting the perfect brand for each location. We are thrilled to introduce this highly distinctive lifestyle offering in a prime location within Nagoya’s landmark redevelopment.
Within walking distance from the future hotel location, travelers will find several of Nagoya’s major landmarks. Nagoya Castle, a reconstructed feudal-era fortress, offers historical exhibits and views of traditional architecture surrounded by gardens. Close by, the Tokugawa Art Museum showcases samurai-era relics and art, offering a glimpse into the heritage of the Owari Tokugawa clan. Easily reached, these locations provide greater cultural insight for visitors staying in the city core.
Modern attractions are also clustered near Nagoya Station. The Sakae district, located just a few train stops away, is known for its contemporary shopping centers, entertainment venues, and the Oasis 21 complex with its unique glass roof and rooftop access. Osu attracts many travelers thanks to its combination of antique stores, street food markets, and cultural spots such as Osu Kannon. These areas are well-connected and give visitors diverse options for exploration.
Looking ahead the transformation of Nagoya into a transport and hospitality hub reflects a broader trend toward decentralizing tourism. As Japan continues to develop regional centers, people planning future trips may benefit from more flexible routes and better-connected cities. The upcoming Andaz hotel is more than just a new building; it is part of a larger effort to transform the way travelers explore Japan.
