The first of Tokyu Hotels & Resorts’ new brand of hotels, Storyline, opened on 11 April 2024 (Thursday). The new Storyline brand is a condominium-style accommodation facility that belongs to a brand with its own unique character within the Tokyu Hotels network.
The open-air rooftop on the top floor features an ‘infinity pool’ linked to the Chura Sea and blue sky, and a relaxing outdoor hot spring spa, where you can enjoy sunsets that stain the sky and night views of Naha city.
The Sky Room, a lounge exclusively for guests staying at the hotel and available free of charge, is designed in the motif of an airport control tower and offers everything from soft drinks to alcohol in a self-service environment.
The AERO BEACH TABLE restaurant on the ground floor offers creative Latin cuisine with Okinawan ingredients, based on the concept of “a menu and space that will simply satisfy your stomach and heart, whether today is a special day or an everyday moment”.
Rooms with ocean views (some with partial ocean views) offer a panoramic view of the sea stretching out before them and the two runways on either side of Naha Airport with planes taking off and landing.
