Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Susukino
A sharp tower in Susukino — Sapporo's entertainment district, and one of the liveliest concentrations of ramen shops and craft beer bars in Japan. The Westin's Heavenly Beds, the panoramic fitness floor, and the proximity to the city's best yakitori restaurants make it the ideal base for Sapporo's food and nightlife scene.
Rising from Sapporo Station at 160 metres, the JR Tower Hotel Nikko has the most dramatic arrival of any hotel in Hokkaido — step off the Shinkansen and take a glass elevator straight up. Rooms begin on the 23rd floor; the Sky Restaurant Stellar Place on the 38th faces Hokkaido's mountain panorama; and the underground arcade puts city-centre dining within three minutes.
Odori
Hyatt's lifestyle brand executed perfectly for Sapporo — warm timber interiors referencing Hokkaido's forests, a bar stocked exclusively with Hokkaido craft spirits and wines, and rooms that balance Japanese restraint with genuine contemporary comfort. A short walk from Odori Park and the underground shopping passages that make winter exploration painless.
Odori
Established in 1934, the Grand is the grande dame of Hokkaido hospitality — the Snow Festival was founded from its lobby, and the banquet rooms still carry the architectural authority of their Showa-era origins. The Grill restaurant serves Hokkaido's legendary beef alongside excellent locally sourced seafood, and the proximity to Odori Park makes it ideal for festival season.
Susukino
Japan's favourite business-hotel chain at its most confident — the Dormy Inn formula of natural hot spring baths on the top floor, a late-night ramen service, and impeccably clean compact rooms is deployed to perfection in Sapporo. A genuine top-floor onsen with snow-season steam is an amenity no local competitor matches at this price.
Maruyama
Actually located in Sapporo's upmarket Maruyama district — a leafy residential neighbourhood with boutique bakeries and specialty coffee — this long-established resort hotel offers generous room sizes, a full indoor pool complex, and a peaceful remove from the city's commercial core. A favourite for families and couples visiting Hokkaido in summer.
