PUBLIC AREA -HOTEL INDIGO NAGASAKI GLOVER STREET-

During Japan’s isolation period, Nagasaki was known as the only port town where overseas trade was permitted and the Minami Yamate and Higashi Yamate areas were opened as a settlement to welcome new foreign residents.

Later, the area took root as a residential area for foreign merchants who travelled to Japan in search of business opportunities, and the imported goods and industrial goods brought by them were a mixture of Japanese, Chinese and Dutch cultures.  Gradually, the products developed in their own unique way and had a significant impact on the civilization of not only Nagasaki but also other parts of Japan.

Hotel Indigo Nagasaki Glover Street is a conversion of the historical building, located in a prime location of Minami Yamate.  In order to connect the history and culture of the region in a new form, the merchants who lived and worked in Nagasaki during this period are adopted as main characters, and a highly creative and glamourous environment in line with the Hotel Indigo brand while respecting the ambience of the relaxed and distinctive worldview unique to this city is created.

The design of the lobby lounge in the main building, with its impressive brick exterior, evokes the scene of a social gathering where foreign merchants who travelled to seek business opportunities and deepened their friendships.

The space includes a mosaic tile floor design inspired by the Nagasaki textile, brick walls inlaid with shimmering LED glass blocks, and art displays reminiscent of furnishings of the time.  The mixture of each of the unique design elements welcomes the guests with the exotic ambience of the region.

The main dining room, RESTAURANT CATHEDRÉCLAT, is a historical building with a long cultural history as a former cathedral, with an impressive 10-metre rib vault ceiling and stained-glass windows.  Whilst inheriting these historical features, the contrasting contemporary design of the FF&E and the marble counter offers a dining space that is unique to Nagasaki where traditional and innovation has since continued to strive.
