Major Redevelopment Project in Nagoya, Japan to Feature First Andaz Hotel

Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement with Nagoya Railroad Co., Ltd. for a new Andaz hotel planned to open after 2034 at the Meitetsu Nagoya Station. The hotel is part of a redevelopment project that includes the opening of a transportation hub and the launch of a high-speed railway.

Andaz Nagoya will be the first Andaz hotel in the city, which Nagoya Railroad envisions will stand as a symbol of the city’s transformation—blending innovation, design, and culture. The hotel will be part of a multi-use urban complex integrated with the new railway station and is set to have a dedicated entrance on the ground floor that will provide access to approximately 150 guest rooms and suites on the 25th to 29th floors. Amenities will include a rooftop bar, restaurants, lounges, extensive meeting and event spaces, a fitness center, an indoor pool and a spa.

“We are deeply honored to collaborate with Nagoya Railroad on this milestone project, our first collaboration with them,” said Sam Sakamura, vice president of Japan and Micronesia, Hyatt. “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. We look forward to introducing Andaz Nagoya to World of Hyatt members and other guests across the globe.”

Nagoya, one of Japan’s three major metropolitan areas, is strategically located on the “Golden Route” between Tokyo and Osaka and is easily accessible via both the Tokaido bullet train and Chubu Centrair International Airport. Cutting-edge innovation is balanced with a strong cultural foundation in Nagoya, a city rich in history. Nagoya Castle, Atsuta Shrine and the Tokugawa Art Museum offer glimpses of Japan’s storied samurai culture, while vibrant neighborhoods such as Sakae and Osu attract visitors with an eclectic art scene and experimental culinary options.

“Our vision for the Nagoya Station area is to create a vibrant, people-centered destination that fosters connections of diverse communities,” said Hiroki Takasaki, President of Nagoya Railroad. “We are excited to collaborate with Hyatt—renowned for its portfolio of captivating hotels around the world—in bringing this vision to life. As a lifestyle luxury hotel that embraces local culture and high-quality experiences, we are confident that Andaz Nagoya will become a symbolic presence that enhances the city’s appeal and contributes to its continued growth as an international city.”

Andaz Nagoya will join more than 30 Andaz hotels open globally, including Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills and the newly opened Andaz Miami Beach
