Hotel Monterey Edelhof Sapporo sits in the central shopping district, between Sapporo Station and Odori Park, and offers a comfortable four-star stay in a European-inspired setting. The hotel has a spa with an indoor public bath with jet and open-air baths and a sauna, a bedrock bath therapy room, massage services and a Japanese restaurant serving kaiseki. Rooms range from standard to larger twin categories, and the hotel has a grocery store on site, a handy extra for travellers on a budget. The location is excellent for sightseeing, with the Clock Tower, TV Tower and park all within a short walk.
Location and getting around
Sapporo Station and Odori Station are each about a three to five minute walk, and Odori Park and the Clock Tower are about three minutes away. The TV Tower is around five minutes on foot, and the Nijo Market and Susukino district are a pleasant stroll to the south. New Chitose Airport is about 59 minutes by car, though most travellers take the rapid train to Sapporo Station and walk. Winter walks are short and well lit, and taxis are easy to find.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms are comfortable and well kept, with free WiFi, and the hotel offers universal-design rooms for those who need them. The spa is the highlight, with separate men's and women's areas, a jet bath, an open-air bath and a sauna, plus massage and a bedrock bath therapy room. The restaurant Zuientei serves Japanese kaiseki.
A daily breakfast buffet runs in the morning for an extra fee, although some rates include it, so check your booking. Self-parking is available for a nightly fee and has height limits, so confirm in advance if you have a larger vehicle. There is a convenience store, laundry and dry cleaning.
Who it suits and what to know: it is a good fit for couples, solo travellers and small families who want a central base with a spa and a calm atmosphere. Wheelchair access may have limitations, so ask the hotel directly. Pets are not allowed except service animals.
During the Snow Festival and winter peaks the hotel sells out early, so book ahead. For the price, it gives you a hotel spa, a good breakfast and a walkable location, which makes it one of the best value choices in the centre. Ask for a higher floor for quieter nights.
