This 422-room hotel stands on the grounds of Canal City Hakata, one of Kyushu's largest commercial complexes, in Sumiyoshi, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka. It opened in 1996 and marked its 30th anniversary in April 2026. The entire hotel closed for renovation work from Wednesday, April 1 to Monday, August 31, 2026, and it fully reopened on Tuesday, September 1, 2026.
The Renovation Theme: "A Theater of the City"
The renovation takes its theme from the concept of Canal City Hakata, the complex the hotel sits in: "a theater of the city." The five motifs scattered throughout the complex - water, canyon, green, sun and star - are woven into the guest-room design. The lobby's theme is "HAKATA VIBES," a space that expresses the energy of the Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival and uses wooden materials that evoke the warmth of the Nakasu food stalls.
Rooms for Families
There are 8 room types. The easiest choices for families with children are the Superior Bunk Fours Room, 30.5 sq m with bunk beds (up to 4 guests, themed "sun"), and the Superior Fours Room, with four beds side by side (up to 4 guests, 30 sq m). For three guests, there is also the Superior Triple Room (30.5 sq m, themed "green") and the Standard Triple Room (24 sq m). For the bunk-bed room, the hotel advises against children using the upper bunk for safety reasons, so it is best to plan on an adult taking the upper bed when working out your numbers. A Universal Twin (30.5 sq m) designed for comfortable use by wheelchair users is also available.
Co-Sleeping and Breakfast
Children of elementary school age and under can stay with co-sleeping free of charge. However, amenities such as toothbrushes are provided only for the room's set capacity, and extra beds are not available. If bedding is needed, the child is charged the same rate as an adult. Breakfast is served at Bonjour Plus, the 117-seat restaurant on the first floor, every day from 6:30 to 10 a.m., with last entry at 9:30 a.m. The buffet showcases the food culture of Kyushu and Hakata, and includes dishes such as Goto udon from Nagasaki, counted among Japan's three great udon varieties. Prices are 2,420 yen for adults and 1,540 yen for ages 4 to 11, and free for children under 4 (all prices include tax). If you add breakfast for a co-sleeping child, these prices apply separately.
Staying Inside Canal City Hakata
The hotel is inside the Canal City Hakata complex, so shopping, dining and even a show at the theater are all available without leaving the grounds. A convenience store (Lawson) and a drugstore (Matsumoto Kiyoshi) are 1 minute on foot from the entrance, making it easy to restock diapers, formula and drinks. For staying guests only, the lobby has the Wakuwaku Pass Card, a discount card usable at some shops in Canal City Hakata. The hotel also points to the Fukuoka Anpanman Children's Museum in Mall as a nearby attraction. The Nakasu entertainment district is a 5-minute walk away.
Access and Parking
The hotel is about a 3-minute walk from Exit 1 at the west ticket gate of Kushida Jinja-mae Station on the subway Nanakuma Line, about a 10-minute walk from the Hakata exit of JR Hakata Station, and about a 10-minute walk from Exit 5 of Nakasu-Kawabata Station on the subway.
