Review

Forbes ★★★☆☆ Recommended

Character and identity

Rising 568 feet above Sapporo, this is the tallest building in Hokkaido, and the appeal starts with the vantage point: rooms look out over Ishikari Bay and a cityscape that turns from green in summer to deep snow in winter. The design language is minimalist and modern, the scale substantial at 330 rooms, and the layout connects directly to JR Sapporo Station. Four restaurants cover French, Japanese and Hokkaido-focused buffet cooking, a sky bar sits high in the tower, and the Pulau Bulan spa, perched 328 feet up, draws on a natural hot spring.

Who's it for

Best for:
Travellers using Sapporo as a base for Hokkaido by rail, particularly anyone planning to attend the Sapporo Snow Festival, given Odori Park is a ten-minute walk. Couples and solo travellers who value an onsen ritual with a skyline view, and food-minded guests who want several dining options without leaving the building, are well served.

Should look elsewhere:
Families looking for a kids' club or shared bathing will find the adults-only, gender-separated onsen restrictive. Guests who want generous floor space should note that standard rooms run cozy, and anyone hoping for a quiet resort setting will find this is firmly an urban tower hotel above a train station.

Bottom line

The defining feature here is location: three minutes from JR Sapporo Station, with the whole of Hokkaido reachable by rail and the Snow Festival on the doorstep. Book it if rail-based exploring matters more than resort calm, and upgrade to a Corner Deluxe Room or suite for meaningful extra space. February, around the Snow Festival, is the window to plan for.
