Experience relaxation where tradition and modernity intertwine in Nara, home to Japan’s largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Japan's first luxury brand, "JW Marriott Hotel Nara," has been awarded "1 Michelin Key" for two consecutive years in the "Michelin Guide Hotel Selection 2025." Designed by London's prestigious G.A Group, inspired by Nara's rich nature and culture, the hotel offers a beautifully crafted space resembling a grand residence. Located in the heart of Nara City, surrounded by Japan's largest number of World Heritage Sites and serene mountains, it provides excellent access to sightseeing. Immerse yourself in Japan's origins while enjoying JW Marriott’s signature hospitality to your heart’s content.

  • I planned to go to Nara for a meal, and since I was there anyway, I stayed one night. The high ceiling and the curved vanity area made it feel more spacious than it actually was.It seemed almost fully booked and there were many families with children, but the Room was quiet and comfortable. The bathtub was also roomy.The staff were friendly and pleasant, and I’d like to come back again for a relaxing stay. Breakfast was delicious too, with a clean and well-kept buffet.

  • We stayed in a room with lounge access.What stood out most was the staff’s warm hospitality. They provided excellent support for our family member using a wheelchair, and their thoughtful assistance—from the parking area to the lounge and to our room—was truly helpful. The rental bicycles to Heijō Palace Site (with complimentary water) and the high-quality breakfast buffet also contributed to a comfortable stay.On the other hand, there were a few concerns, such as crowding in the lounge and an occasional missed turndown service despite prior arrangements. Overall, we were very satisfied and hope to see further operational improvements befitting a luxury Hotel.
