Hotel Management International (HMI Hotel Group) has announced a partnership with IHG Hotels & Resorts to rebrand the Hotel Crown Palais Hamamatsu into the ANA Crowne Plaza Hamamatsu. Scheduled to open on July 1, 2026, the property will represent the first IHG-branded hotel in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The transition aims to establish a new hospitality hub that integrates global service standards with the city’s role as a vital business and tourism center.
A New Landmark for Hospitality in Hamamatsu
The rebranding marks a significant shift for the property, positioned to serve the diverse requirements of the modern traveler. By joining the ANA Crowne Plaza network, the hotel will align with IHG’s global systems while maintaining its deep local connectivity. The project is designed to support the brand tagline, “Where Journeys Meet,” focusing on the intersection of professional and private travel needs in one of Shizuoka’s primary commercial districts.
Modern Design for the Contemporary Traveler
The hotel’s design philosophy centers on the concept of “blended travel,” catering to those who move seamlessly between work and leisure. Interiors will utilize natural light, warm materials, and a muted color palette to foster a calm, inviting atmosphere. This approach is intended to provide functional movement throughout the public and private spaces, ensuring that guests can transition easily from a productive workday to a restful evening.
Comprehensive Facilities and Dining
The property will offer 192 guest rooms alongside a robust selection of amenities. Culinary options include four distinct venues: an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty Chinese restaurant, and a Japanese restaurant. For wellness and events, the hotel features a fitness center, a swimming pool, and a sauna, as well as multiple banquet halls capable of hosting formal ceremonies and business functions. These facilities are designed to accommodate both short-term business stays and extended leisure visits.
