Amazing amazing place with the most amazing staff. Staying here was an experience not just a place to sleep. It was so personal and comfortable, clean and special. Our favorite stay in over a month of traveling Japan. Wish we could have stayed longer.

This gem may be located a bit further from the main attractions of Nara Park, but it is without a doubt worth the visit. Finally, a truly luxurious five-star hotel. The hotel's delightful aesthetics, incredibly comfortable rooms, outstanding cuisine, and wonderful spa are just a few highlights of the exceptional experience. However, what truly sets this hotel apart is the remarkable team of professionals who go above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome and taken care of. We had the pleasure of returning to Nara after 18 years, and the staff had prepared a thoughtful welcome note and even surprised us with a complimentary dessert dish for breakfast, accompanied by a note. The front desk staff were attentive to our every request, question, and need, always going the extra mile to ensure our satisfaction. They provided us with fantastic suggestions that were off the beaten path, beyond what one could find in travel guides, and their recommendations for local restaurants were top-notch. Additionally, we are immensely grateful that we were able to find refuge at the Marriott Nara during Typhoon Lan. Throughout the entire ordeal, we felt safe and well-cared for. We extend our deepest thanks to the entire team. It was truly heartbreaking to leave, but we will most definitely be returning in the future.

Great location: You can get the train from KIX airport to the hotel. It's a 5 minute walk from the Osakajokoen train station on the loop line and it's easy to get to even with a big suitcase (Tip: Buy a prepaid Icoca train card which makes it much easier to travel by train) Fabulous breakfast: Book breakfast. It's an absolute treat! Both Japanese and Western breakfasts and caters for all diets and all tastes. Bar with a view: Spend an hour or so in the sky bar on the 18th floor. It's not cheap but it won't break the bank and the view is stunning. Room itself: Very comfortable mattress. Air conditioning. Large rooms. No UK or European TV channels. Only CNN. Large bathroom. Shower in bath tub so no extra shower. Pyjamas provided. But take an adapter as there is not one in room for mobile phones, electric toothbrush etc. Tea and coffee making facilities in room. Hotel: 6 elevators. Patisserie and Café in the spacious lobby. Fitness centre with 20m pool BUT not included in room rate. Approx 25 EUR for a day pass. Quick tip: Get an eSim for Japan before you leave. Absolutely priceless. I purchased one from Nomad but there are also other providers. (I was using about 0.5 GB a day with Google maps as a guideline)

The hotel is absolutely amazing and incredible how they have preserved the history. It felt like being in 2025 at the same time as being there in 1906.
