Hotel Nikko Kumamoto

Frommer's Review

In the same building as the Contemporary Art Museum and an adjoining shopping complex in the heart of downtown, this 14-story hotel is the most luxurious in Kumamoto. An inviting fireplace and contemporary art serve as the focal points of its two-story lobby, pleasingly decorated in strong contrasts of dark wood and light-colored marble. Large, comfortable rooms, with views of either Kumamoto Castle or Mount Aso in the distance, offer sitting areas, closets that light up as soon as you open them, focused bedside reading lights so your partner can sleep, blackout curtains for total darkness, and excellent insulation from traffic noise. Singles sport double-size beds, doubles have queen-size beds, and twins have large bathrooms with separate tub/shower/toilet areas.

Facilities:
4 restaurants (Japanese, Chinese, steakhouse, international); 1 lounge; concierge; room service (11am-midnight); in-room massage; same-day laundry/dry-cleaning service; nonsmoking rooms.
