Espacio Enterprise Co., Ltd. President and CEO Hiroyuki Tabuchi said, “Not only do we overlook the beautiful scenery of Nagoya Castle, but the surrounding area is dotted with numerous cultural facilities, making us an ideal base for business and tourism.”
Furthermore, the hotel’s luxurious spaces, woven with Japanese history and tradition, invite guests into an extraordinary world. “We offer the finest hospitality through our extensive facilities.”
A number of luxury hotels are expected to open in the city over the coming years in anticipation of a new maglev train line scheduled to run between Nagoya, Tokyo and Osaka.
Espacio Nagoya Castle stands across the moat from Nagoya Castle, which brought 260 years of prosperity to Owari Nagoya as the residence of the Tokugawa clan. The hotel is dotted with numerous art and cultural facilities, including the Tokugawa Art Museum, Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology and Atsuta Shrine.
Located a convenient distance from the hustle and bustle of central Nagoya, it offers a convenient base for business and sightseeing, with an urban resort-like location. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by artwork depicting the auspicious symbols of the Rinphoenix Kiryu from various perspectives, creating a luxurious and splendid space woven with Japanese history and tradition.
Tabuchi added, “Espacio Nagoya Castle inherits the traditions and hospitality cultivated by the Kowa Group’s Espacio The Jewel of Waikiki, Espacio Hakone Geihinkan Rinpo Kiryu, Nagoya Kanko Hotel and the former Hotel Nagoya Castle. As a one-of-a-kind hotel, we pursue modern luxury and offer each and every guest an exceptional experience.”
The guest rooms are sprinkled with contemporary craftsmanship, reflecting the sophistication of samurai culture. The guest rooms, designed by six artists, feature innovative and elegant works of gold leaf, paper-covered paper, kumiko latticework, dyeing, lacquerware and sculpture. These luxurious details elevate guests to an extraordinary inner palace-like setting, offering an unparalleled experience where luxury and tranquility are harmoniously combined.
The fourth floor is where some of Japan’s leading chefs show off their skills and guests can enjoy a variety of flavors and exquisite experiences, including a specialty restaurant serving French cuisine as well as Chinese and Japanese cuisine such as sushi, tempura and teppanyaki. Using locally sourced seasonal ingredients, the hotel also caters to diverse dietary needs, including vegetarians and vegans.
The spa offers luxurious treatment rooms, a pool with striking mosaic tiles, the hotel’s own underground hot springs, and a fitness gym equipped with cutting-edge equipment. All these facilities deliver a rich and fulfilling experience based on “The Art of Wellness,” which provides true relaxation and health.
The second and third floors feature four diverse banquet halls, including the Tenshu-no-Ma, one of Japan’s largest banquet rooms. From family celebrations to large-scale international conferences, we offer a blissful time that will lay the foundation for your long-lasting prosperity.
Espacio Nagoya Castle says it aims to deliver a personalized, special experience that will leave a lasting impression on guests.
