Kita Ward
A well-run Mitsui property steps from Sapporo Station's west exit — the signature top-floor sauna (with outdoor viewing terrace for snow-season steam-bathing) is justifiably famous among Japanese business travellers. Clean, efficient, with generous bathrooms and the connectivity a transit hub stay demands.

Odori
A well-established design boutique between Odori Park and Susukino — the urban art programme that adorns every floor is curated annually with Hokkaido artists, and the small but excellent café serves the best breakfast set in the Odori area. Popular with solo travellers who want character without the full-service overhead.

About This Guide
Sapporo has embraced pet-friendly travel with open arms, and these hotels lead the pack. Whether you're traveling with a Great Dane or a Chihuahua, each property on our list has been vetted for genuine pet welcome — not just a grudging 'pets allowed' policy, but thoughtful amenities that make your companion feel as pampered as you. Our top pick, Karuizawa Prince Hotel West, stands out for its dedicated pet concierge service and custom pet beds. JRタワーホテル日航札幌 (JR Tower Hotel Nikko Sapporo) offers a particularly impressive pet menu, while Cross Hotel Sapporo provides a private garden area perfect for morning walks. When choosing a pet-friendly hotel in Sapporo, location matters as much as pet policy. We've prioritised properties near parks, walking trails, and pet-friendly restaurants so you and your companion can explore together without constant taxi rides back to the hotel.
