Located in the mountains near Nagano, Karuizawa is a much-loved destination for Japanese and international travellers who appreciate outdoor activities, including golf and hiking, during its mild summers, and skiing and onsens (hot springs) during the winter. It's also home to popular attractions such as the Kyu-Karuizawa old town and Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza.

Hotel Indigo Karuizawa will draw on the story of the local neighbourhood to incorporate locally-influenced design and service, which is the signature of the Hotel Indigo brand. In addition to its 155 spacious and elegantly designed rooms across three wings, the hotel will also feature meeting facilities, a spa and a gym. Guests will also be able to take advantage of the dining options on offer, with a focus on local dishes using seasonal ingredients.

There is a growing momentum behind boutique and lifestyle hotels in Japan, as they offer a unique and distinctive service that appeals to a new generation of traveller. Hotel Indigo does just that, attracting curious and well-travelled global travellers with its local neighbourhood story in every detail, including hotel design and service. In fact, this will be Japan's third Hotel Indigo, following the opening of Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora in 2020, and the upcoming Hotel Inuyama Urakuen Garden, which will open in mid-2021.

Hotel Indigo Karuizawa is located about 2 km from Karuizawa Station, which offers great accessibility by car and is only 1 hour from Tokyo by the Hokuriku Shinkansen (bullet train).
