Intercontinental Yokohama Pier8

Designed by NIKKEN SPACE DESIGN

YOKOHAMA is known as an international port that has been in operation from the mid-nineteenth century.

“The Yokohama Hammerhead” complex opened in October 2019, with a newly established cruise terminal acting as a new gateway into Japan.  

The wharf - with a sense of floating - reaches out to the sea, and supports the “Shinko Pier Cruise Terminal” and our hotel, the “Intercontinental Yokohama Pier8”.

At the entrance, visitors are greeted by a delicate spiral staircase, akin to a seashell found swaying with the tides of the sea that leads visitors to the reception on the second floor.  

The Clientele is encouraged to open the wide guestroom windows, creating a feeling of excitement and freedom as if they are beginning their very own voyage.
