Located on the main island of Okinawa, ANA Crowne Plaza Resort Okinawa Uruma Hills will offer guests panoramic views of the East China Sea and Pacific Ocean as well as easy access to a nearby golf course and cultural sites including Zakimi Gusuku Castle and Onna-son Community Centre.

A 45-minute drive from Okinawa's main hub Naha Airport, facilities will include an outdoor swimming pool, gym, karaoke room, restaurant, bar, meeting space, ballroom and car park.

ANA Crowne Plaza Resort Okinawa Uruma Hills will become the third IHG hotel in Okinawa, joining ANA InterContinental Manza Beach Resort and ANA InterContinental Ishigaki Resort.
