Hotel Monterey La Soeur Fukuoka is in Daimyo, the fashionable quarter just west of Tenjin that is full of small boutiques, cafes and bars. The hotel has 191 rooms across 12 floors, and the rooms are designed with a European, slightly romantic character that sets it apart from the plain business hotels nearby. Room types run from the Standard Single and Small Double to the Double, Standard Twin, Corner Twin and Triple, ranging from about 158 to 310 square feet, so there is a fit for solo travellers, couples and small groups. Rooms have a down comforter, premium bedding, blackout curtains, a safe, a desk, a refrigerator and free bottled water, and the bathrooms have a deep soaking tub, a bidet and free toiletries. Rooms are soundproofed, a welcome feature in a lively district.
Location and getting around
Tenjin Station is about a three-minute walk, the Tenjin Underground Mall about four, and Solaria Plaza and the yatai stalls about six. The Fukuoka Mitsukoshi department store is about seven minutes away on foot, Nishitetsu-Fukuoka Station about eight, and the Acros Fukuoka Symphony Hall about ten. The Nishitetsu trains to Dazaifu and Yanagawa leave from the station nearby. Fukuoka Airport is roughly 11 to 14 minutes by car, and Momochi Beach is about 17 minutes by car.
Rooms and facilities
The rooms are comfortable and quiet, with a heating and cooling system, a television, a telephone and a hair dryer, slippers and towels in the bathroom. The hotel has one restaurant, and a daily buffet breakfast is available for an extra charge. Facilities include a 24-hour front desk, self-service laundry, dry cleaning, luggage storage, a lift and multilingual staff. There is no pool, spa or gym.
Self-parking is available for a nightly charge and has height restrictions, so check before you drive. Smoking is allowed only in designated areas. Daily housekeeping keeps the rooms fresh on longer stays, and the staff can help with luggage storage if you arrive before check-in or leave late in the day. The restaurant and the nearby cafes of Daimyo make breakfast and a quiet evening meal simple to arrange.
Who it suits and what to know: couples, solo travellers and style-conscious visitors who want a characterful base close to shopping and nightlife will enjoy it most, and friends travelling together can use the Triple rooms. Check-in starts at 3 PM and check-out is before 11 AM. Pets are not allowed. A local accommodation tax is payable at the hotel. Because the hotel may close for short periods or have building works at times, check availability and any notices when you book. Reserve early for festival weekends and for spring and autumn.
