Nobu Hotels blend modern cool luxury and minimal Japanese tradition into the concept of a ​lifestyle hotel. Nobu Hotels, Restaurants, and Residences interact together to provide Nobu ​products and services that share the common characteristics of unique Nobu food ​experiences. Each provides a local experience with a modern design and stunning spaces. ​Helming from world-renowned Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro, and Meir Teper, the ​Nobu Hotel concept is a curated experience where every property is different.

CHEF NOBU

Nobuyuki Matsuhisa – known to the world as “Nobu” – is the acclaimed and ​highly influential chef proprietor of Nobu and Matsuhisa restaurants located ​across five continents.

Born and raised in Saitama, Japan, Nobu served a rigorous apprenticeship at ​a respected sushi bar in Tokyo. It was not long before his dreams of seeing ​the world moved him to open a sushi bar in Peru. A classically trained sushi-​chef, Nobu was challenged by the new culture and regional ingredients, ​which kindled his inventive style, known today as Nobu Style.

After three years in Peru, Nobu moved to Argentina, then home to Japan, then ​on to Alaska, before finally settling in Los Angeles.

Nobu opened Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills in January 1987. An instant success, ​it was here that his relationships with Robert De Niro and Meir Teper began, ​leading the trio to open their first Nobu restaurant together in 1994.

From the very beginning Nobu was about creating memorable experiences around exceptional food. ​And in the years since we first opened our doors in Tribeca, the name Nobu has become synonymous ​with instinctive design, fine ingredients, a powerful energy and a passion for service.

As artists, chefs and restaurateurs, Nobu’s owners and the visionaries behind the brand were privileged ​to amass a host of experiences from all corners of the globe. Bringing the best of the best back home ​with them is a part of the story of how Nobu restaurants and hospitality began. Our intention is nothing ​less than to stir the hospitality industry and change the game. We believe in the seamless integration of ​hotel and restaurant and create a stage of vibrant hospitality on a foundation of high-end dining that ​attracts a notable clientele of tastemakers, influencers and all- around style setters.

As a luxury lifestyle brand, nothing is a carbon copy, each of our hotels mirrors the personality of that ​given location, and we are fully engaged with locality - a globally recognised brand that successfully ​taps into the local market.

We are the place to make memories that last long after the evening ends. For behind it all, as we have ​expanded around the world, we have never moved from what we set out to do. To provide pleasure. To ​offer the highest standards of luxury, excellence and service in an unaffected, unpretentious manner.
