"Novotel Okinawa Naha" is located on a hill in the center of Naha city. The world heritage Shurijo Park and Kokusai Street are easily accessible by taxi. Because it is a hotel on a hill, you get a panoramic view of Naha city. The hotel is a beautiful hotel because it just reopened in September 2018 after completely renovating the building that was originally the “Okinawa Miyako Hotel.”

Hotel Surroundings

Because it is a hotel in Naha city, there are many roads and buildings, but I thought it was a quiet place thanks to the hotel being on a hill. A tourist attraction near the hotel is the World Heritage Shuri Castle, about a 15 minute walk away and about 5 minutes by car. You can also get to Kokusai Street easily by taxi. Although it is a hotel in the city, it was full of nature. It is a convenient location for going sightseeing in Naha city.

Staff and Guests

Because it is a big hotel, there were many staff. As soon as I brought the car to the entrance, the staff came out and responded. The staff gave me good service.

IMG_0134 copy

I think there were more customers from overseas. I saw a large number of overseas group customers. Even though it was not a large group, I saw more people who seemed more like families or friends than groups or couples. I saw some families with small children.

Access

There was a bus stop called “Novotel Okinawa Naha Mae” in front of the hotel. I think it’s about 20 minutes by car from Naha Airport. There were no convenience stores within walking distance, but there were restaurants and a convenience store in the hotel so I felt no inconveniences.

Summary

I had a nice stay at this hotel. It has been less than a year since opening, and the hotel was beautiful. Overall, it was a simple, functional but a stylish hotel. The towels are all made by Imabari, amenities are prepared, the room is spacious, the bed is comfortable to sleep on and I was very comfortable. The top floor lounge that can be used for free was nice. 360 degree panoramic view was good, breakfast, afternoon tea, cocktails and snacks and drinks of each time were provided, the kind was also reasonable and delicious. The lounge available to the Premier Floor and Suite guests is spacious and overlooks the city of Naha. It was nice to be able to check in immediately at the top floor lounge. It is overall a very luxurious hotel.
