Two new Pokemon-themed hotel rooms will appear in the city of Awara in Japan’s Fukui Prefecture in late 2026. The first-generation dragon Pokemon Dragonite will be the creature primarily featured in these hotel rooms. [Thanks, Pokemon Information Nakayama!]
The hotel in question will be Grandia Housen. The specific suites will feature a mix of Japanese and Western-styled rooms, with each zone sized at 12.5 and 10 tatami mats (around 218 and 174.4 sq ft), respectively. Besides a bedroom with two large beds, each suite will also consist of a Japanese room, a living room, a restroom, and a bathroom with a shower and a bathtub.
Dragonite features prominently in these rooms because it is the official Ambassadorial Pokemon of the Fukui Prefecture, where this hotel is based. However, the rooms will also include decorations that feature its pre-evolved species—Dratini and Dragonair.
Grandia Housen will join the list of hotels that have featured Pokemon-themed rooms. Prior examples included the Grand Hyatt Tokyo Hotel and the Mimaru Apartment Hotels in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. The list is not limited to Japan, as Indonesia’s Hotel Nikko Bali Benoa Beach also joined the festivities in 2024.
The special hotel rooms featuring Dragonite from the Pokemon franchise at Grandia Housen in Awara, Fukui, Japan, will be available from November 12, 2026.
