Broadcast tower hotel

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
The Tower Hotel Nagoya is built entirely in and around the tower’s structure. We mean ‘around’ literally — the iron support beams cut diagonally through the walls, floors, and ceilings...
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open directly into Hisaya-odori Park, with Sakae's central shops and restaurants just steps away.
The rooms
Raw iron support beams slice diagonally across bedrooms, which display handcrafted textiles and ceramics by Tokai artists.
Restaurant
Glycine
French-inspired regional tasting menus are served on local ceramics beside angled windows looking out over the park.
At the table
Farm& serves morning coffee and regional craft beers across communal timber tables opening out onto the park.
How it began
Architect Tachu Naito designed the landmark in 1954 as Japan's first television tower, retrofitted for guests in 2020.
