ANA Crowne Plaza Sapporo is a large, full-service hotel in the heart of the city, a short walk from Odori Park and the covered Tanukikoji shopping street. It has 412 rooms and an international-chain feel, with a staffed front desk, a first-floor cafe, a bar and a lounge on the 26th floor. Dining is a strength: five restaurants share the building, and one of them is a teppanyaki venue on the 26th floor, which makes it easy to eat well without leaving the hotel on a snowy night. The subway is about a minute away on foot, so the whole city, and the airport train beyond it, is within easy reach. It suits travellers who like a polished, predictable base with plenty of services.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits in central Sapporo with a subway entrance roughly one minute away on foot, which is the single most useful detail in winter, when a short walk can feel long. Odori Park, Sapporo City Hall and the Red Brick Office are all close, and the Tanukikoji shopping arcade is an easy stroll away for lunch, souvenirs and evening snacks.
The Sapporo TV Tower and the Clock Tower are on the same side of the city centre, so most first-time sightseeing can be done on foot between meals. Check the route from the airport when you book, because the rapid train to Sapporo Station and a short subway or taxi ride onward is the usual way in.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms are set up for a comfortable city stay, with free in-room WiFi, a minibar and an in-room espresso machine, which is a nice touch for early starts before a day trip. Beyond the restaurants, the hotel has a 24-hour fitness centre and a banquet hall used for events. There is no spa, so if a hot-spring soak is a priority, choose one of the other Sapporo hotels on this page that have one.
Breakfast is a buffet for an extra charge. Self parking is available for a fee, and the basement parking has charging stations for electric cars, which will matter to anyone renting a car to explore Hokkaido.
Who it suits and what to know: couples, business travellers and families with older children will all feel at home here. Check-in is from 3 PM and the front desk closes at midnight, so tell the hotel in advance if your flight lands late, since there is no check-in after hours. Check-out is before 11 AM.
Rollaway and extra beds are not available, which is worth knowing if you are travelling as a group of three or more. Pets are not allowed. Compare room-only and breakfast rates when you book, and ask for a higher floor if you want a quieter room or a wider view over the city.
