IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced the consecutive openings of two ANA Holiday Inn hotels in Japan.
ANA Holiday Inn Kobe Sanda started operations on 27 April 2026, followed by ANA Holiday Inn Tosu on 28 April 2026.
Managed by Select Hotels Group, these launches are notable for introducing the first international full-service hotels in Sanda City, Hyogo Prefecture, and Tosu City, Saga Prefecture.
ANA Holiday Inn Kobe Sanda includes 130 guestrooms, ranging from double rooms to larger twin options and a Japanese-style room with tatami flooring.
The open lobby design offers a versatile space for dining, working, or relaxing.
Strategically positioned, the hotel is situated near Woody Town Chuo Station, providing easy access to the Kansai region.
The area includes the Hokusettsu Sanda Technopark, Kobe Sanda Premium Outlet, and riverside paths of the Hiratanigawa Greenway.
ANA Holiday Inn Kobe Sanda general manager Eiji Baba said: “Sanda is a place where a deep connection with nature and the warmth of community life come together in a very special way.
“It is our privilege to bring the warm, genuine hospitality that defines Holiday Inn to this city, and we look forward to welcoming guests – whether here for business, leisure, or simply a moment of calm – and making them feel genuinely at home.”
ANA Holiday Inn Tosu is located at the intersection of major expressways in Kyushu, five minutes from JR Tosu Station and 40 minutes from Fukuoka Airport.
The hotel comprises 127 guestrooms and suites, designed to accommodate both families and individual travellers, with options including single, twin, and suite layouts.
Each hotel features Apple Road restaurants, offering a range of local and international cuisine.
Moreover, they provide meetings and events facilities with six adaptable spaces for up to 250 guests.
Both hotels are part of the expanding global portfolio of Holiday Inn, reflecting IHG's ongoing efforts to grow its presence in Japan and the Asia Pacific region.
Earlier this month, the company entered a partnership with Fuji Kyuko to convert Hotel Mount Fuji into the third Vignette Collection hotel in Japan.
