ANA Crowne Plaza Nagasaki Gloverhill occupies a commanding hillside position in the Minami-Yamate district, roughly 2.5 kilometres from Nagasaki Station and within a short walk of Glover Garden, the 19th-century Western merchant estates that shaped modern Nagasaki. The hotel sits at the top of a residential hillside where the old foreign settlement once stood, giving the property historical resonance alongside its contemporary tower format. Operated under IHG's upscale Crowne Plaza brand, it serves leisure travellers, couples, and business guests who prioritise views and facilities over downtown proximity.
The 160-plus rooms span Standard, Deluxe Harbour View, Club Suite, and Presidential Suite categories. West-facing harbour-view rooms deliver wide panoramas across Nagasaki Bay, particularly striking at dusk when the port lights ignite. Club-floor rooms offer access to a dedicated lounge with complimentary evening cocktails and an enhanced breakfast service. All rooms include flat-screen televisions, in-room safe, minibar, and high-speed Wi-Fi.
Dining is anchored by the main restaurant, which runs a buffet breakfast and à la carte Japanese and Western dinners, both with harbour views. A rooftop outdoor pool opens seasonally from late May through September and shares the view corridor. The spa offers massage and body treatment services; a fitness centre with cardio and weight equipment is open to all guests. The concierge team arranges day trips to Huis Ten Bosch and Unzen hot springs, car hire, and restaurant bookings across the city. The hillside location means the property is best accessed by taxi or the Route 5 tram to Oura Tenshudo-shita; comfortable footwear is recommended for the slope between the tram stop and the hotel entrance.

Tips for visiting
- Request a harbour-view room on the 10th floor or above; lower harbour-view rooms can be partially obscured by hillside vegetation
- The tram stop Oura Tenshudo-shita (Route 5) is a 10–12-minute walk with a moderate incline; taxis from central Nagasaki cost around ¥900–1,200 and take about 5 minutes
- The outdoor pool is unheated; plan visits for mid-afternoon in July and August when air temperatures are at their highest
