ANA Crowne Plaza Okayama ANAクラウンプラザホテル岡山 岡山全日空皇冠假日酒店

ANA Crowne Plaza Okayama is a full-service city hotel located just a 2–3 minute walk from JR Okayama Station’s west exit via a pedestrian deck. Despite its proximity to the station, it sits in a relatively calm area and is directly adjacent to the Okayama Convention Center, making it a convenient base for academic conferences, business trips, and leisure travel alike. With 219 guest rooms and easy access to Korakuen Garden, Okayama Castle, the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, and the islands of the Seto Inland Sea, the hotel reflects Okayama’s role as a transportation hub for the Chugoku and Shikoku regions.

Guest rooms are available in Standard, Premium, Suite, and Universal-access categories. Standard rooms—mainly compact 18m² doubles and twins—are well suited for business travelers and solo guests. Premium Floor rooms, located on the 17th and 18th floors, offer 25–28m² of space with simple yet refined interiors and expansive city views. Many overlook Okayama’s urban core, Okayama Castle, or the Shinkansen tracks, allowing guests to enjoy a quintessential “station-front view.”

The suites include a 66m² Junior Suite and an approximately 90m² Presidential Suite, each featuring a separate living room and bedroom as well as a bathroom with a view. Spacious sofas, work desks, and audio equipment make these rooms ideal for longer stays or special occasions. Universal-access rooms feature wide entrances, minimal level differences, and handrails in the bathroom to ensure comfort for guests with mobility needs.

All rooms are equipped with free Wi-Fi, humidifier–air purifiers, warm-water bidet toilets, kettles, and refrigerators—ensuring convenience for both business and leisure trips. The brand’s signature Sleep Advantage program is also provided, offering aromatherapy sprays, teas, eye masks, and a selection of pillows to support restful sleep—particularly useful for guests traveling long distances or working on tight schedules.

Dining options are located primarily on the 1st and 20th floors. The 1st-floor Casual Dining Urbano serves Western-style all-day dining, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The breakfast buffet features both Japanese and Western items such as grilled fish, rice, miso soup, eggs, bread, and salads, along with local Okayama dishes. Lunch and dinner include courses, buffets, and à la carte selections enjoyed by both hotel guests and local diners.

The 20th floor hosts the hotel’s signature dining venues: the Japanese restaurant Kuriyasén, the teppanyaki corner Osafune, and the sky bar and lounge Sen. Kuriyasén highlights seafood from the Seto Inland Sea and local Okayama produce, offering kaiseki and set meals suitable for celebrations or business entertainment. Osafune features freshly grilled Japanese beef, seafood, and seasonal vegetables prepared before guests’ eyes. Sky Bar & Lounge Sen offers cocktails, whisky, and light snacks with sweeping night views—an ideal spot for an after-dinner drink.

Some Premium rooms and plans with lounge-style privileges include access to exclusive menus of drinks, sweets, and snacks on the 20th floor. Guests can enjoy light refreshments with a view during afternoon or evening hours—useful for casual meetings or relaxing between outings.

The hotel’s banquet and meeting facilities include multiple rooms ranging from small meeting spaces to banquet halls for up to approximately 300 guests. Its adjacency to the Okayama Convention Center makes it a popular choice for academic conferences, exhibitions, break-out sessions, and receptions. The facilities accommodate corporate seminars, training sessions, social gatherings, and weddings, leveraging the hotel’s convenient station-side location.

Parking is available at an adjacent partner facility consisting of both multi-story and flat lots. Reservations are not required, though the area may become busy during major events. For train travelers, the pedestrian deck connecting the station and hotel allows smooth, weather-protected access directly from the ticket gates.

The surrounding area includes numerous shops and restaurants within the station complex and nearby commercial buildings, making dining and shopping easy. Trams and local buses provide quick access to Okayama Castle and Korakuen Garden in about 10 minutes, while trains and express buses from Okayama Station make it simple to reach Kurashiki, the islands of the Seto Inland Sea, or even Kagawa across the Seto Ohashi Bridge. Overall, ANA Crowne Plaza Okayama is an excellent choice for travelers seeking both convenience and comfort in the station-adjacent area of Okayama.
