HOTEL OVERVIEW

You know what hits you first at The Ritz-Carlton Fukuoka? It’s not the marble lobby or the perfectly pressed uniforms – it’s how they’ve managed to make this towering glass building feel intimate. I mean, we’re talking about a hotel that sits right in the heart of Daimyo district, where you’re literally surrounded by some of the city’s best boutiques and galleries, but somehow the moment you step inside, the urban buzz just melts away.

The location is honestly brilliant if you know Fukuoka at all. Daimyo is where locals actually hang out – not the touristy spots, but the real deal. You can walk to Ohori Park in about ten minutes when you need to escape the city energy, or head the other direction toward Tenjin’s shopping madness. What I really love is that you’re close enough to the yatai (those famous street food stalls) along the river, but far enough from the late-night crowds that you’ll actually get some sleep. The hotel’s positioned so that most rooms face away from the main street noise, which – trust me – matters when those delivery trucks start their rounds at 5 AM.

The rooms themselves are spacious by Japanese standards, and I actually appreciated that they didn’t go overboard with the “fusion” design thing that some luxury hotels attempt. It’s elegant without trying too hard, with those floor-to-ceiling windows that make you feel like you’re floating above the city. The bathrooms are legitimately impressive – deep soaking tubs that overlook the cityscape, and the kind of shower pressure that makes you want to stay in there forever. Small detail, but the blackout curtains actually work, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how many hotels mess this up. The staff has this way of being incredibly attentive without hovering, and their English is solid if your Japanese is rusty. Check-in was smooth even during what seemed like a busy conference week, and they sorted out restaurant reservations that I honestly thought were impossible to get. The concierge team clearly knows the city inside and out – they steered me toward this incredible tempura place in a nearby alley that I never would have found on my own. Honestly, after staying here, other hotels in the area feel either too corporate or trying too hard to be boutique-y. This place just gets it right.

The sushi restaurant and the bar in the roof are very good . All the staffs were super friendly . The temperature was really cold for two days and they passed out hot packs for guests on their way out.

What could be improved: The design of the bathroom- light can still come thru the sliding doors; so, if someone is still sleeping whilst his/ her companion takes a shower, it will be a nuisance

Everything. From the moment we arrived in front of hotel, until the moment we left the hotel back to airport. Sublime service.

The very polite lady from the bell desk even continue waived us good byes accros the street! That was really touched our hearts. We have been around the world staying in top luxury resorts and hotels, but we never encountered such personal attention and care to their guests! Simply amazing service culture!

If there is an option for rating "Super Excellent", then I would vote that without hesitation!

Thank YOU to Ritz Carlton Fukuoka's team. You guys are the best in the world!!!!

It was the attention to detail here - what you'd expect from a top hotel, but in this case it even exceeded my expectations. For example, they provided very nice and comfortable his and hers pyjamas, in addition to the usual robes. I asked for our room to be cleaned at a specific time every day, to help with our planning of activities, and as far as I could tell they did it almost exactly to the minute requested, without missing a single day. I never had to remind the turndown staff to provide something that the housekeeping had earlier missed, because housekeeping never missed a single item - down to the last type of teabag or coffee capsule.
Front office staff speak impeccable English, and were always very friendly and helpful
The location was terrific, one block from an Avis/Budget rental office (which I utilised for a day trip out), less than 50 yards to a subway station, and walking distance to all the major shopping malls, with good restaurants and convenience stores all around.

What could be improved: Not much to complain about, and it's really getting into minute details here. The housekeeping staff don't speak fluent English, but that's common in most East Asian hotels, and a bit too much to ask for. But they know the basic words like "water," "tea," "chocolates" etc. The bed and pillows were too soft for my liking, but everyone has their own preferences, and to be fair I had a good nights' sleep each time.

As a new hotel, Ritz Carlton Fukuoka is beautifully designed and served as a perfect stay for our anniversary celebration. The room is spacious, comfortable and very practical in terms of layout. We got one facing Hakata Bay and it was especially a great view at sunset and in the evening. Their breakfast selection was delicious and of high quality. We also went to their bar and Japanese restaurant, both phenomenal. Service was lovely, all the staff greet you with a smile. We would stay here again!
