OUR HOTEL

Savour the moment, and experience a vivid culture

Inspired by the Vivid Culture of Nagasaki

Just as no two cities are the same, no two hotels are the same — but none is more unique than the luxurious Hotel Indigo Nagasaki Glover Street, which reflects and illuminates the charm of Nagasaki. Hotel Indigo Nagasaki Glover Street was created by breathing new life into a symbol of the city, a designated traditional building in the heart of a historic district. We’ve retained the redbrick facade, white arched windows, and stained glass of its predecessor, while incorporating Nagasaki’s culture and history into a contemporary redesign. Here is a place you can feel time leap and dance.

Traditional Buildings, Revised

The over-100 year old symbol of the city was given new life, weaving history and connecting the past and the future. Hotel Indigo Nagasaki Glover Street was created by preserving and restoring historically and culturally significant buildings, such as the 10-metre tall former cathedral, with its white arched windows, stained glass, and rib-vaulted ceiling.

An Enchanting Entrance

Stepping through the gateway and following the stone-paved path, you’ll see the hotel entrance. A statue of the angel Michael above the entrance greets visitors. Stepping inside, you’ll be met with surprising discoveries and vivid encounters.

Stunning Meals in the Former Cathedral

The restaurant, with its brilliant stained glass windows, was once used as a cathedral. The high ceilings and columns were preserved from its predecessor. The restaurant’s majestic atmosphere invites guests to enjoy the chef’s twist on cross-cultural gastronomy, using local ingredients.

The Story of Nagasaki Through White Arched Windows

Slatted, white arched windows are used in the guest rooms, lounge, and lobby of the main building. The view tells the story of Nagasaki’s past: the coming and going of ships in the bay, the mountain ridge in the distance, and the Nagasaki cityscape itself. It’s a dramatic story that traces the history of the city, bringing the experience of Nagasaki’s past back to life.

Our Unique Design

The rich mix of Japanese, Chinese, and Western culture that has made up Nagasaki’s DNA since the opening of the Nagasaki port has been fully integrated into the modern design.

Reception

The lobby calls to mind the sort of social gathering space where merchants would have conversed and traded in the Nagasaki of the past. In addition to the fan-shaped Dejima-inspired rug and the colorful tiles that invoke calico prints, the lobby is furnished with sofas and chairs for relaxing in comfort.

Restaurant

The restaurant, which is a mix of the historical cathedral and modern design, offers guests surprises and delights you won’t find anywhere else. The tile floor invokes calico prints, and the chandeliers are based on lighting in the room of “Kapitan,” the head merchant on Dejima island.

Guest Room Corridor

The corridors and elevators leading up to the guest rooms are designed in the style of Nagasaki’s alleyways and iconic products, giving guests an experience of wonder and discovery, just like wandering the streets of Nagasaki’s past.

Inviting Guest Room

The guest rooms reflect the mix of Japanese, Chinese, and Western cultures that make up Nagasaki’s past. Guests can indulge in the unique world where people, items, and cultures have blended since the opening of the Nagasaki port.

The Folding Screens’
Traditional Art

Folding screens with scenes of Nagasaki’s mountainous landscape and bay decorate the walls of the bedrooms. The art lets guests take in a moment of Nagasaki’s past.

Umbrella-Inspired Lamps

Arita-ware vases decorated with the Japanese camellias Siebold introduced to the world, and shades invoking parasols inform the lamps that decorate each bedside table.

The Merchant’s Collection

The closet, minibar, and bathroom is decorated in the style brought to Japan by the European merchants who first visited Nagasaki Bay. The closet and minibar have handles decorated with camellia, and are adorned with a design invoking the thick “karakami” paper used as wallpaper on Dejima.
