5-Star Hotels in Aichi Prefecture, Japan

We booked a family room with 3 single beds. The room is spacious with a separate bath room (With separate bath tub and shower area) and a room with toilet and wash basin. It also comes with a closet! Overall, the staying experience is excellent. Staffs are very nice and friendly. I guess the only minor thing is you need to change lifts as the main lobby is at 15/F of the Central Tower (Their rooms are above 15/F).

Mitsui Garden Hotel Nagoya Premier is located a short 10-minute walk away from Nagoya Station which connects the Mintetsu, Kintetsu and JR train lines as well as the subway. While not directly above the bustle of such a huge station, Mitsui is conveniently connected to the hub via sheltered underground links. There’s also very easy sheltered access to shops, malls and restaurants nearby. Cleanliness at the Mitsui is commendable. Staff are polite and service-oriented, and very efficient. The breakfast room is a tad small and may get a little crowded on busy days but the food is very nicely done.

The 32-square-meter room with three beds was an acceptable size. The hotel was clean, and the staff were polite. Although there was no Chinese service, their English was good. The bathroom featured a wet/dry separation. The only downside was the slightly long 15-minute walk from Nagoya Station (according to Google Maps); I later found that getting off at Fushimi Station would have been a much quicker walk. Nearby, you'll find a Don Quijote, Life Supermarket, and a selection of specialty restaurants. Overall, it was a pretty good stay.

What an unexpected gem of a hotel! Stepping out of the subway station, I initially thought I had landed in the middle of nowhere. But as I walked towards the hotel, everything opened up beautifully! It's a lovely garden-style hotel – quiet, clean, spacious, and immaculately kept. They have a natural hot spring that was incredibly relaxing. Guests get free access to the adjacent amusement park; a standalone adult ticket costs 1200 JPY. Strolling around the park was very pleasant.

Everything almost perfect. The location is nearby subway sakae station. It also have airport bus from the airport directly to in front of the hotel which is very convenience for who has the large suitcase.

I have stayed here many times in the past, and every time I stay it seems like they have made more improvements. 2 years ago you had to ask for water, but it was available if requested, then last year water was on a small display with coffee, tea, and makeup removal kit, now they have added refrigerator with cold water bottles and a display with room temperature water bottles. This may seem small, but everything else is already very nice here, and they are still finding small ways to continue improvement. Staff is always friendly. Hotel is always clean. Hotel lobby has seasonal decorations which are very nice, and are related to Toyohashi area.

The hotel services good n location is about 8 mins walk from Fushimi station. They provide free drinks for 24 hours. Only no good is the hotel is quite old.

The room size, especially for a Japanese hotel, was quite generous. We booked a triple room with three single beds, and there was still enough space to open our large suitcases flat on the floor. The room was kept very clean. On our first day, we noticed the sink wasn't draining properly, but to our surprise, it had already been fixed by the time we returned on the second day. The housekeeping service was also very prompt and efficient. We were on a high floor, offering nice views of the city, especially at night. The hotel itself was very quiet. There's a convenience store nearby, along with a small shopping mall and a drug store, making it quite convenient for dining and shopping. The hotel has direct access to the subway from its second floor, allowing easy transfers at Nagoya Station to other subway lines and JR trains to various destinations. While the location might not be as central as a Marriott, it's an excellent choice if you prefer a quieter stay. You're just one subway stop away from major transfer points.

## TIAD, Autograph Collection, Nagoya: Where Modern Luxury Meets Impeccable Service As part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, TIAD, Autograph Collection, Nagoya, left a lasting impression on my trip with its stylish design, outstanding service, and prime location. Opened in 2023, this hotel perfectly embodies its brand philosophy, 'Tomorrow is Another Day.' From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I could feel its dedication to creating a relaxing and enjoyable stay for guests. Here's a detailed review of my stay from various aspects. ## Prime Location and Convenient Transportation TIAD, Autograph Collection, is ideally situated in the heart of Nagoya's bustling **Sakae shopping district**. Located at 5-15-19 Sakae, Naka-ku, Nagoya, Aichi, this prime spot scored a remarkable 9.4 out of 10 and serves as an ideal base for exploring Nagoya. The hotel entrance is just a 20-meter walk from Subway Exit 1, making transportation incredibly convenient. However, it's worth noting that most Nagoya subway exits lack elevators, so guests with large luggage should be prepared. The hotel's surroundings offer a surprisingly rich array of commercial facilities. **PRACO department store** and **Don Quijote discount store** are just steps away, and luxury brand boutiques like LV and Prada are within a few minutes' walk. Matsuzakaya Department Store is just across Hisaya-odori Park, and the entire Sakae district is only one subway stop away, catering to all kinds of shopping needs. Food enthusiasts will also appreciate the area, with a famous Ichiran Ramen branch within walking distance. There are also numerous restaurants and convenience stores nearby, and the nightlife is vibrant. Even after 10 PM, you can see young people gathering and street dancing, revealing a lesser-known lively side of Nagoya. ## Modern, Stylish Design and Comfortable Guest Rooms The hotel's design beautifully blends **modern style with a touch of understated luxury**. Its overall aesthetic bears some resemblance to EDITION hotels, particularly in its lighting design and selection of hard finishes. The lobby, located on the fifth floor, is adorned with extensive stonework. It looks particularly stunning at night when lit up, resembling 'a luminous pearl suspended in mid-air.' The terrace outside the sixth-floor Executive Lounge features exquisite moon-themed lighting and offers a panoramic view of Nagoya's iconic TV Tower, making it a popular spot for guests to take photos. As a Titanium Elite member, I successfully used a Marriott Suite Night Award to upgrade to a **Junior Suite**. Spanning approximately 40-50 square meters, it's remarkably spacious for a Japanese hotel. The room's design thoughtfully balances functionality and aesthetics. Each bedside table is equipped with a smart control tablet. These tablets allow one-touch control of room lighting, appliance switches, and temperature, and you can even activate the 'Do Not Disturb' mode from bed. It's incredibly high-tech. One tablet can also function as a TV, supporting external displays. The new, large TV features a one-touch Netflix connection, which allowed me to binge-watch an entire series during my stay.

The location further then expected luckily have shuttle service to the airport terminal. The staff were friendly but slightly inexperienced. We arrive before noon, would appreciate they would do the check-in process first even though the rooms were not ready. As the hotel location is slightly far, when we return later in the evening, very tired, it took more then 30min to complete the check-in procedure. Kindly look into the process and provide a better check-in experience. Thanks
