Mercure Sapporo is on Minami 4-jo, Nishi 2-chome, in the entertainment district at the heart of the city. It is a four-class upscale hotel with 285 rooms, and the location is its biggest asset: Susukino Station and Tanukikoji Shopping Street are each about two minutes on foot, Nijo Market is around five, and Odori Park is about six. The Sapporo TV Tower is about eight minutes away and Sapporo Station about fourteen. Rooms have premium bedding, a safe, a refrigerator, an electric kettle, a bidet toilet and a shower and tub combination, and the room range runs from standard queens to twins and triples, which suits small families. The hotel has a restaurant, a gym, laundry and dry cleaning, multilingual staff and a 24-hour front desk. Restaurants serving sushi, crab, parfaits and grilled lamb are within about a minute of the entrance.
Location and getting around
The surrounding streets are full of restaurants and bars, which makes the hotel ideal for travellers who plan to eat out every night. Morning markets are close, with Nijo Market a short walk away, and Odori Park is an easy stroll for a daytime walk. Hosui-Susukino Station is within five minutes, giving access to two subway lines. New Chitose Airport is about an hour by car, though the train to Sapporo Station is usually the smoother option in winter, followed by a fourteen-minute walk or a short subway ride.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms are modern and comfortably sized for the area, with free WiFi, air conditioning and satellite television. Bathrooms combine a shower and tub with an electronic bidet. Larger rooms can sleep up to five or six guests on the hotel's own figures, which is unusual in Sapporo and helpful for families. A buffet breakfast is available for a surcharge, so compare room-only rates with breakfast included. Early check-in and late check-out are offered for a fee, subject to availability. The hotel is Green Key certified for environmental practice.
Who it suits and what to know: it is a smart first-time choice for couples, friends and families who want to be in the middle of the action and walk everywhere. The trade-off is nightlife around the hotel, so ask for a higher floor or a quieter side if you are a light sleeper. Check-in is from the afternoon and check-out is at 11 in the morning. Pets are not allowed. Free cancellation is offered on select rates. Book early for the Snow Festival, when Susukino hotels are among the first to sell out.
