Fukuoka is one of Japan’s most fascinating cities. Set on the island of Kyushu, it hums with energy, from bustling street food stalls to leafy riverside walkways; it’s famous for its regional cuisine, nightlife and easygoing charm. One of the best places to feel that energy is the lively, sprawling Canal City Hakata complex, pulsing with color and energy. Amid this bustle sits Grand Hyatt Fukuoka, a refined and serene urban retreat.
The hotel offers a polished, immersive experience where traditional craftsmanship, modern design and local culture converge — perfect for travelers who want to feel the city’s rhythm without losing their own sense of calm. With its newly launched “Hakata Retreat” rooms, lush lounge area and inventive dining and event spaces, it’s a place to experience Fukuoka fully, at your own pace.
Inside the Rooms and Suites at Grand Hyatt Fukuoka
This past July, Grand Hyatt Fukuoka unveiled six exclusive guest rooms under the concept of “Hakata Retreat” — spaces designed to blend Fukuoka’s regional heritage with cutting-edge design and holistic well-being.
The rooms are bright and spacious, with plush beds and spacious bathrooms. Each one invites guests into a tranquil world where Japanese craftsmanship enriches modern luxury. In every one, you’ll find a personal tea bar where you can prepare your own matcha during your stay. The Premier King rooms and Hakata Suite also have an okiro — a hearth specifically used for tea ceremonies — allowing for a deep immersion with Japanese tea culture.
The six Hakata Retreat rooms have carefully considered details that heighten the stay: art made with traditional Yame washi on the walls, Agano ware ceramics on display and headboards that fill each room with the soft scent of tatami. But whichever room you decide to book, the experience is sure to be memorable — each guestroom features distinct artworks and interior arrangements, transforming the stay into an experience in itself.
The Grand Club: A Spacious Lounge for Guests
On the hotel’s fifth floor sits the Grand Club Lounge, surrounded by greenery and bathed in natural light, spilling gracefully out onto an open-air terrace. Exclusively for guests staying in Grand Club rooms and suites, the lounge shifts with the day to suit different needs. Mornings are bright and inviting, with a full buffet breakfast that includes freshly prepared eggs, French toast and a make-your-own seafood donburi station.
Afternoons are quieter, with the lounge offering a comfortable workspace equipped with high tables, lighting and outlets, making it easy to catch up on emails or read while enjoying light refreshments. By evening, the terrace and indoor seating begin to buzz with energy. Guests can sip cocktails and sample small plates that rotate daily while watching the garden glow under soft lighting.
Original artwork by the Tokyo-based design unit Goo Choki Par adds a modern touch to the space. In addition to food and beverages, the lounge also provides check-in, checkout and concierge services.
Restaurants and Bars at Grand Hyatt Fukuoka
Integrating the hotel’s refined luxury into its carefully curated menus, the Grand Hyatt Fukuoka’s dining and drinking options are well worth exploring.
The hotel’s signature all-day dining restaurant, The Market F, combines the energy of a live kitchen with the approachable elegance of bistronomy. Its popular Dinner Order Buffet allows guests to enjoy innovative fusion cuisine that combines traditional French dishes with local specialties, with the freedom to mix and match as they like. Each plate highlights freshness, artistry and abundance, capturing the richness of Hakata’s culinary spirit.
The hotel’s newly refreshed bar lounge, Bar Fizz, occupies a central open atrium and features stylish, contemporary design, creating a lively yet relaxed setting for aperitifs or late-night conversations. For a quieter, more intimate experience, Martini’s, located in the lobby, serves classic cocktails with a sophisticated touch, evoking the golden age of hotel bars.
Connection in the Spirit of Hakata
Grand Hyatt Fukuoka also provides an exceptional setting for professional gatherings. Its nine event, banquet and meeting spaces feature state-of-the-art technology and draw inspiration from Hakata itself, allowing for tailor-made events that leave a lasting impression.
For a uniquely local touch, guests can opt for a yatai (street stall) culinary setup, bringing the festive energy of Fukuoka’s night food scene indoors — a signature experience that showcases the city’s culture to international visitors. From private meetings to grand celebrations, each event space is designed to encourage connection, collaboration and memorable moments.
