Seminars and company events
The Ritz-Carlton, Fukuoka hosts conferences, product launches, incentive dinners and receptions for up to 300 guests, with nine event spaces that the hotel puts at 738 square meters in total. It opened in June 2023 in Fukuoka Daimyo Garden City, a new development in the Chuo ward, a short walk from the Tenjin business and shopping district. For a company bringing a regional team, partners or clients to Kyushu, it combines a ballroom, smaller divisible rooms, accommodation and several restaurants under one roof.
The Ballroom is fitted with a six-meter LED screen for presentations, award ceremonies and launches. Smaller groups can work in the Studio, which looks out over Daimyo Garden City, or in one of its two halves, while the foyers handle registration and coffee breaks.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel runs a full wedding service. Ceremonies take place in a chapel with a center aisle and oak pews. Receptions use the Ballroom, for up to 180 seated or 300 standing, with its foyer available for a cocktail beforehand, or the Studio for up to 60 seated. Wedding catering relies on local produce and can be served as a buffet, a seated meal or presented on Arita porcelain, the traditional ware of the region.
Rooms and capacities
The Ritz-Carlton Ballroom measures 336 square meters and takes 300 guests in theater style, 180 at a banquet and 300 for a standing reception. It divides into Ballroom 1 (98 m², 60 theater, 50 banquet), Ballroom 2 (135 m², 108 theater, 60 banquet) and Ballroom 3 (103 m², 60 theater, 50 banquet). The Ritz-Carlton Studio covers 108 square meters, for 64 in theater style or 50 at a banquet, and splits into Studio 1 and Studio 2, each 54 square meters for 32 in theater style or 20 at a banquet. Two foyers of 143 and 123 square meters each hold a standing reception for 50.
Accommodation
Participants stay in the hotel's rooms and suites, with access to a Club Lounge at the top of the building and to The Ritz-Carlton Spa on the 24th floor. The hotel does not give its number of rooms on its main pages, so organisers should ask for a room block together with the event request.
Catering
The hotel has five restaurants and bars: Genjyu for Japanese cuisine with kaiseki, sushi and teppanyaki, Viridis for all-day dining, the Diva café, the Bay rooftop bar and The Lobby Lounge and Bar. Banquet menus come from the hotel kitchens.
