■ A New Stay Experience Traveling Between City and Sea, Starting from Naha
'Southgate Hotel Okinawa' is a resort hotel that proposes a new stay experience where guests can seamlessly enjoy everything from city walks to island hopping and marine activities, starting from Naha.
Okinawa's resort stays tend to concentrate in the northern part of the main island, as represented by Onna Village and Yanbaru area, and issues such as travel burden and traffic congestion associated with tourism have been pointed out.
In this context, this hotel leverages its location and functions that allow free movement between the city and the sea, proposing a new form of Okinawa stay starting from Naha.
■ A Space Where the Stay Itself Becomes Enjoyable, Regardless of Weather
The hotel offers a total of 11 contents, including a rooftop where guests can watch ships coming and going in the harbor, a large public bath and sauna, and live jazz performances by a jazz duo. Regardless of the weather, the hotel provides an environment where guests can spend a fulfilling time even just within the premises, offering an experience where the stay itself becomes enjoyable.
