Hotel Indigo Nagasaki Glover Street opens its doors

Hotel Indigo, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, has continued its expansion in Japan with the opening of Hotel Indigo Nagasaki Glover Street, marking the brand’s 5^th neighborhood hotel in the country. Hotel Indigo Nagasaki Glover Street is located in the Minami-Yamate area of Nagasaki, a town full of color and atmosphere, and brings the brand’s strength as a neighborhood storyteller to life with unique guest experiences inside and around one of the city’s most iconic 19^th Century redbrick buildings.

The hotel’s opening was celebrated with an ‘open the umbrella’ ribbon cutting ceremony, using local umbrellas with patterns reminiscent of Nagasaki, a nod to the city’s vibrant past as the place where Western-style umbrellas were first introduced. The opening moment was an expression of the hotel weaving together its history and celebration of the future.

The Minami-Yamate area of Nagasaki is a rich tapestry of Japanese and Western culture, offering hilltop views overlooking Nagasaki Bay. The historic townscape is home to Glover Garden, an important cultural asset and a World Heritage Site, and the Oura Cathedral, a national treasure of Japan – offering a host of stories and guest experiences for guests to immerse in the town’s history.

Each of the hotel’s 66 guestrooms are inspired by the liveliness of the town, while the lobby area is reminiscent of the social gatherings of former merchants. The hotel’s restaurant, Cathedréclat, features soaring 10-meter ceilings and impressive stained-glass windows enchanting guests as they dine in the once-Cathedral setting.

The hotel celebrates a ‘Wa-Ka-Ran’ labyrinth philosophy, which is the merging of the individual uniqueness of Wa (Japan), Ka (China) and Ran (Dutch) to create a new culture. Everything from the city’s festivals to the locals’ clothing, sights and food are a mix of these cultures, and as guests walk around the town there is an unforgettable sensation of exploration.

Each Hotel Indigo is as unique as its location, drawing vibrant inspiration and energy from the local culture, aiming to immerse guests in authentic experiences and forge genuine connections with its neighborhoods.

With 162 open hotels across the world, Hotel Indigo currently stands as the second largest brand within IHG’s luxury & lifestyle portfolio. The brand will continue to debut in new markets in 2025, including the opening of Hotel Indigo Palau, the first in Micronesia, and Hotel Indigo Auckland, the first in New Zealand.

Guests can also benefit from IHG One Rewards, offering enhanced opportunities to earn and redeem points across IHG Hotels & Resorts, including exclusive benefits tailored to their preferences, supported by leading technology on the IHG mobile app.
