Fuji Speedway is the dramatic backdrop of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt’s first hotel in Japan…
Set amid Mount Fuji, Fuji Speedway Hotel in Shizuoka, has opened as the first property within The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand in Japan.
The hotel, which first entered our radar in 2019, sits adjacent to the historic Fuji Speedway motor racing circuit, which hosts world-class racing events, and offers a unique opportunity to fully experience the excitement of motorsports. The hotel also houses the Fuji Motor Sports Museum, which showcases about 40 story-worthy and era-defining racing cars dating from the end of the 19th century – an exclusive space where guests can learn and be immersed in the history and culture of this exciting sport.
Fuji Speedway Hotel features 120 stylish accommodations, including 21 spacious suites, all with private balconies offering breathtaking views of Fuji Speedway race circuit or Mount Fuji. They also include five dog-friendly villas that feature individual private garages with floor-to-ceiling windows on one side for proud owners to admire their vehicles while in residence. The interiors of all rooms are complemented by sophisticated finishes, from buttery leather to marble detailing, and the spa-like bathrooms include deep-soaking tubs.
“Fuji Speedway Hotel epitomises the brand’s hallmark for worldly, unforgettable memories, and I believe it is the brand that best encapsulates the appeal of the Fuji Motorsports Forest,” commented Tomohide Yamamura, President of Toyota Fudosan. “We hope this hotel will become a place loved by people all over Japan and across the world.”
