ANA Holiday Inn Kobe Sanda: A New Chapter Begins in 2026

The ANA Holiday Inn Kobe Sanda is gearing up for a grand rebranding, officially becoming part of the renowned Holiday Inn family on April 27, 2026. Managed by the Select Hotels Group, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, this marks a significant move in expanding the presence of international hotel brands in the Sanda area, making it the first foreign-affiliated hotel in the city of Sanda, Hyogo Prefecture.

A Welcoming Experience

Holiday Inn is celebrated globally for its dependable service and stellar hospitality. The property will add to the portfolio of Holiday Inn hotels currently operating in Japan, which includes 15 locations in various stages of readiness. This initiative not only augments the company’s offerings but also highlights the growing demand for international hospitality options in regional Japan.

Concurrently, the Hotel Biantos located in Tosu, Saga Prefecture, will also undergo rebranding to operate under the Holiday Inn name. With this transition, Select Hotels Group will manage four IHG-associated hotels, including notable names like the ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Kumamoto News Sky and the ANA Holiday Inn Iwate Kitakami.

Guest Rooms & Amenities

The rebranded ANA Holiday Inn Kobe Sanda will feature a total of 130 guest rooms, meticulously designed to combine comfort with the signature style of Holiday Inn. Guests can expect a sophisticated ambiance alongside the brand's welcoming service, which includes the famous “Open Lobby” concept. This innovative design caters to various needs, whether for business or leisure travelers, offering a versatile blend of relaxation and functionality.

Family-Friendly Programs

A standout feature that families will greatly appreciate is the introduction of the "Kids Stay and Eat Free" program, which is well-received worldwide. This initiative ensures that when children under the age of 12 accompany an adult, they can enjoy complimentary meals from the restaurant's kid's menu. Additionally, up to two kids aged 17 or younger can stay free when sharing a room with adult guests, even when utilizing extra bedding. Special kid-friendly amenities will also be available, adding value to the family experience.

Facilities and Services

The hotel will boast a spacious lobby, a restaurant, a fitness center, and a fully-equipped banquet hall, catering to a wide array of events such as meetings, conferences, and celebrations. Furthermore, the property will provide free parking spaces for up to 75 vehicles, ensuring convenient access for guests traveling by car.

To enhance customer experience, the hotel will also participate in IHG One Rewards, providing members with exclusive discounts of 10% off the best flexible rates during a limited period.
