[Nagoya Highlight] Soak in 140‑Metre Panoramic Views at “Nagoya Prince Hotel Sky Tower”

In a major urban area crowded with high-rise buildings, even hotels boasting high floors often lose part of their view to neighboring towers.
However, Nagoya Prince Hotel Sky Tower stands in the Sasashima Live area, just one stop from Nagoya Station. Since there are no buildings of comparable height nearby, guests can enjoy an unobstructed panorama of Nagoya’s skyline.

One of the hotel’s greatest attractions is the view from the 2.8-meter floor-to-ceiling windows. Each room offers sweeping views of Nagoya, and all guestrooms offer a train view. From the north-facing rooms, you can practically reach out and touch the skyscrapers near Nagoya Station. You’ll also see seven railway lines arriving and departing from Nagoya Station. It feels like watching a meticulous model railway far below.
The sunset’s gradient glow and the dazzling skyline at night are awe-inspiring, and the scenery evolving throughout the day never gets old.

All rooms are located on the 32nd floor or higher—140 meters above ground. Depending on their direction, you can see different sights: north-facing rooms overlook Nagoya Station; east-facing rooms look toward Nagoya Sakae; south-facing rooms offer views of Nagoya Port and Nakagawa Canal; west-facing rooms showcase the Suzuka Mountain Range and the Nagoya Train Depot.
With a selection of king or twin “Sky Rooms” and more spacious “Deluxe Corner Rooms,” there’s a configuration for every group size. Among them, the Premium Corner Room stands out—at 79.4 square meters, it’s the hotel’s largest, featuring views in two directions for a truly impressive panorama.

The hotel is situated in the Sasashima Live area, just one stop (two minutes) from Nagoya Station on the Aonami Line.
Housed within the Global Gate complex, it’s directly connected via a pedestrian deck from Sasashima-raibu Station—so you can minimize travel hassle and get to your room quickly, even in bad weather.

From Sasashima-raibu Station, you can hop on the Aonami Line straight to Kinjo-futo Station, the nearest stop for LEGOLAND Japan Resort—a favorite with kids—and the SCMAGLEV and Railway Park, a must-visit for train enthusiasts. No transfers are needed, letting you spend the whole day without worrying about the trip back.
Meanwhile, Nagoya Station—which serves JR, Meitetsu, Kintetsu, and various subway lines—offers quick travel to top Nagoya attractions such as Nagoya Castle, Atsuta Shrine, the Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium, and Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens. The nearby city of Nagakute is home to Ghibli Park, reachable from Nagoya Station in about an hour. In other words, this location is perfect for exploring the Nagoya area.

Floors 1–4 of the Global Gate complex—home to the hotel—house a wide range of cafés, restaurants, and lifestyle shops offering distinctive merchandise. You can step out from your room for a quick meal or shopping trip. Don’t forget to explore the rooftop garden on the 4th and 5th floors for a pleasant stroll.

On the 31st floor, you’ll find Sky Dining TENKU, an all-day dining restaurant framed by large, floor-to-ceiling windows. The interior design—featuring nautical charts and warm wood tones—evokes a serene, ship-like ambiance. Enjoy the view outside the window and indulge in a leisurely, cruise-like experience.

The lunch and dinner buffets highlight seasonal ingredients and change themes throughout the year, enticing repeat visitors each season. With a live kitchen performance by chefs and a photogenic gelato corner, the visually appealing lineup is sure to enhance any special occasion.
In addition to the buffet, the restaurant offers fine French courses crafted with select ingredients, breakfast buffets, and afternoon tea, depending on the time of day.
A particular standout is the morning buffet, served 140 meters up in the sky. Alongside the usual Japanese-Western options, you can also sample local “Nagoya-meshi,” making for a memorable start to your day.

Within the restaurant is a bar featuring a long counter facing an extraordinary view. Unwind with a drink and take in the city lights for a perfect close to your day. The menu includes cocktails, whisky, sparkling wine, and more. There are also original cocktails and snacks that pair well with your beverage of choice.
