Since you're on a trip to Sapporo, you'll want to splurge and stay in a nice hotel to make the most of it, right?

However, Sapporo has so many hotels that it's hard to know which one is good... and how much does it cost to stay there? Many people probably have these kinds of questions.

Sapporo, a popular tourist city, boasts nearly 160 hotels in total (around 180 if you include Jozankei), including both business hotels and city hotels!

However, in reality, only about 30 of these hotels can be described as "luxury" or "high-class."

Furthermore, among those, there are only a handful of hotels that are exceptionally luxurious.

This time, for those who want to enjoy a luxurious stay in Sapporo, we have carefully selected and introduced high-end hotels that offer excellent service.

2. "The symbol of Sapporo Station": JR Tower Hotel Nikko Sapporo
3. Enjoy a stylish space at Cross Hotel Sapporo

5. “Luxury City Resort” Premier Hotel TSUBAKI Sapporo

1. Sapporo Grand Hotel, a long-established hotel celebrating its 80th anniversary.

Founded in 1934, this is the oldest and most established hotel in Sapporo. It consists of three buildings: the main building, the annex, and the east building, and offers a variety of room types.

In particular, the new guest rooms in the East Wing, which were renovated in 2014, use beds made by Simmons, a company loved worldwide.

In particular, their breakfast consistently ranks high in TripAdvisor's "Best Breakfast Hotels" rankings, coming in at number 8 nationwide in 2016.

The buffet, featuring 90 items made with ingredients from Hokkaido, is highly satisfying and further enhances the hotel's appeal.

The location is directly connected to the Sapporo Underground Pedestrian Space, which is linked to JR Sapporo Station, making it convenient to enjoy sightseeing in Sapporo even during snowy winters.

☆Special Floor: Grand England

The special floor, "Grand in Grand," is one of the most luxurious floors in the city, offering the highest level of sophistication.

There are seven room types, including the 'Super Bath Deluxe Double' with a jacuzzi, and the 'Garden View Deluxe Double' where you can relax and enjoy the hotel garden.

The rooms, including the 162-square-meter "Super Suite," are all luxurious and designed to suit various needs. They feature beds made by Sealy, America's No. 1 brand.

In addition to complimentary food and drinks in the exclusive lounge, sauna and spa services, and complimentary breakfast, guests can enjoy luxurious services such as a dedicated concierge.

3. Enjoy a stylish space at Cross Hotel Sapporo

Designed with a stylish and modern concept, this hotel is popular for its artistic atmosphere.

The facility's bar hosts mini-concerts of jazz and other music, and there's a large public bath on the top floor where you can enjoy the night view, allowing you to spend a refined time.

The rooms are based on three concepts: an urban style with chic colors, a natural style that evokes the warmth of wood, and a hip style perfect for special occasions. The beds are made by Simmons and offer exceptional comfort.

The fact that it can be tailored to individual preferences and needs is also appealing. It's definitely a hotel I'd like to use for gift trips and other special occasions.

5. "Luxury City Resort" Premier Hotel TSUBAKI Sapporo (formerly Renaissance Sapporo Hotel)

Even the standard rooms are spacious at 36 square meters, and the bathrooms have separate shower stalls.
This hotel, frequented by celebrities and other high-profile figures, offers a luxurious and upscale experience.
On the other hand, because it's located a little outside of Sapporo city center, standard rooms can be booked at a relatively reasonable price.

Formerly known as the Renaissance Sapporo Hotel, it was rebranded and reopened as "Premier Hotel -TSUBAKI- Sapporo" in October 2015. Since April 2016, it has become one of the few hotels in Sapporo that is entirely non-smoking (a smoking area is available on the first floor).
