InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG®) has announced InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8 will open its doors to guests in November 2019 in the Minato Mirai area of Yokohama.

The franchise agreement was made by IHG's domestic operating company, IHG ANA Hotels Group Japan (Head office: UK, Japan: Tokyo; CEO: Hans Heijligers) and Yokohama Grand InterContinental Co., Ltd.

InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8 is built on the premises of the ‘Yokohama Hammer Head Project’ which is developed by SHINKO PIER CRUISE TERMINAL Co.,Ltd. in collaboration with Yokohama City.

The structure harmoniously integrates with its surrounding environment, reflecting the maritime heritage of the area while offering a contemporary aesthetic. The interior design is expertly crafted by Super Potato, a renowned design firm celebrated for its blend of traditional Japanese elements and modern luxury. This collaboration results in sophisticated, inviting spaces that enhance the guest experience, offering breathtaking views of Yokohama Bay while ensuring a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Together, these design philosophies contribute to making Intercontinental Yokohama Pier 8 a premier destination for discerning travelers seeking both comfort and style.

InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8 joins the nearby InterContinental Yokohama Grand, which has been recognised as an icon of the Minato Mirai area since 1991. The symbolic hotel was the first InterContinental hotel in Japan, now joining 200 InterContinental Hotels & Resorts across the globe.

InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8 is located on one of the few piers in the world, and boasts 173 spacious rooms.
