What’s the deal?

Nestled in the heart of the bustling Tenjin neighbourhood, The Ritz-Carlton, Fukuoka is a sophisticated urban retreat in one of Japan’s fastest-growing Confidential - Not for Public Consumption or Distribution cities. It occupies the nine highest floors of the Fukuoka Daimyo Garden City’s 25-storey main tower and offers panoramic views of the Hakata Bay and Fukuoka’s modern skyline.

As the Marriott group’s first luxury property in Kyushu, the one-year-old hotel fills a much-needed gap in the city's luxury hospitality landscape. Seeking an elevated experience?

Starting at a generous 50 square metres, The Ritz-Carlton, Fukuoka’s 167 guestrooms and suites all feature warm interiors with artworks and design touches that nod to traditional aesthetics. Materials such as woven bamboo and Hakata-ori silks are thoughtfully incorporated into every space, creating a unique sense of place for guests.

Relax and get fit in a tranquil retreat in the sky with state-of-the-art wellness facilities such as a gym and a timber-clad indoor swimming pool, or enjoy one of The Ritz-Carlton Spa’s signature treatments inspired by Fukuoka’s natural surroundings and traditions for the ultimate pampering. Then, refuel at one of the six F&B outlets within the hotel. Dive into refined classics at Japanese restaurant Genjyu or head to Viridus for a gorgeous feast of Western delights made with sustainably produced local ingredients. 

Don't miss 

The breakfast buffet, which showcases an array of vibrant dishes made with local ingredients. From farm-fresh vegetables and dairy products from the city of Aso to Iki Island’s cured meats, every bite is a reflection of the region's rich culinary heritage. The highlight is the signature mentaiko omelette, which is best enjoyed alongside the hotel’s fresh baked goods.
