ANA InterContinental Beppu Resort & Spa
Contemporary Japanese resort luxury — warm earth tones, locally sourced natural materials, wellness-forward without being prescriptive about it
Book Atelier well in advance — only 21 seats and it fills up fast, especially on weekends
Why It Matters
The only full-service 5-star luxury resort in Beppu, Japan's premier onsen destination. The HARNN Heritage Spa was named Japan's Best Resort Spa at the World Spa Awards 2021. Atelier restaurant is a destination dining experience in its own right, with just 21 counter seats and an omakase-style French-Japanese menu built around Oita and Kyushu produce. The entire resort is designed around local art and craft, with a complimentary concierge-led art tour available.
Set in the Kannawa hot spring district of Beppu — one of Japan's most geothermally active cities — this 89-room IHG/ANA resort sits in forested foothills with wide-open views over Beppu Bay. Every material choice, from Beppu stone floors in the lobby to Japanese cypress in the onsen, is deliberate and rooted in place. This is professional luxury done with real conviction: no boutique-hotel irony, just exceptional rooms, a serious spa, and some of Kyushu's best fine dining.
