IHG and Mori Trust form partnership to expand Japan’s Hotel Indigo footprint

IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) and Mori Trust Co Ltd have signed a partnership agreement to open Hotel Indigo Nagasaki Glover Street in late 2024.

The landmark deal marks the beginning of a significant new partnership between IHG, one of the world's leading hotel companies, and Mori Trust, one of Japan's best-known real estate development and hospitality companies. The hotel will be Japan's fifth Hotel Indigo when it opens, continuing the growth of the brand that already includes hotels in Hakone Gora, Karuizawa and Inuyama, along with the upcoming Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya, which is scheduled to open later in 2024.

Hotel Indigo Nagasaki Glover Street will debut at an enviable address in Nagasaki's Minami Yamate area, with spectacular views from its hilltop location overlooking Nagasaki Port. Once a settlement that was home to foreign consulates and residences, the area boasts a treasure trove of stories that will stimulate the curiosity of visitors.

With so much history to draw from, the hotel's Neighbourhood Story will be "Travelling through Time and Space: Japanese, Chinese and Dutch Labyrinths", highlighting 'Wakaran' (Japanese 'Wa', Chinese 'Ka' and Dutch 'Ran'), where Western and Eastern customs and cultures have intersected.

Hotel Indigo Nagasaki Glover Street will be housed in a rare, historic Romanesque red-brick building. It will coincide with the revitalization of the nearby "Old Glover Residence", national treasure "Oura Tenshudo", and several other nearby 19^th century buildings as part of the National Government's Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. The hotel will have approx. 70 rooms as well as dining facilities and a fitness centre.
