Sapporo Grand Hotel

Frommer's Review

This dignified hotel, open since 1934 and one of Sapporo's old-timers, has a good downtown location near the Botanic Garden and Odori Park. An appealing choice of dining and drinking outlets (including those serving Hokkaido specialties) and a helpful English-speaking staff help make your stay enjoyable. The hotel occupies three buildings constructed at various times: Business travelers take advantage of the mostly singles in the annex, company executives generally stay in the main building, and everyone from families to the well-heeled head to the east building for its family rooms (with four beds) and so-called Comfort Rooms on top floors which offer the extra advantages of humidifiers, duvet-covered beds, and big-screen TVs. Most rooms are fairly large and nicely furnished but -- a sign of the hotel's age -- have small windows and small bathrooms. Note, too, that some of the cheapest rooms face another building.

Facilities:
6 restaurants; 2 bars; lounge; business corner w/pay computers; shopping arcade; salon; room service (7am-10am and 5pm-1am); in-room massage; same-day laundry/dry-cleaning service; nonsmoking rooms
