The restaurant with a view from 100 meters above ground and the Sky Spa with natural hot springs are also popular.

A stylish glass-walled hotel about a 7-minute walk from the north exit of Sapporo Station

Sapporo Hotel by Granbell, which opened in March 2025, is about a 7-minute walk from the north exit of Sapporo Station. It is a large hotel with an impressive glass exterior, 26 floors above ground and 605 rooms. It opened as a premium type hotel of the Granbell Hotel Group, which is known for the Sapporo Granbell Hotel in Tanukikoji, the Susukino Granbell Hotel in front of Hosui Susukino Station, and the Jozankei View Hotel.

A warm and welcoming entrance hall

The spacious entrance hall will make you feel like you're in an extraordinary place the moment you step inside the hotel.

A twin room with a casually stylish atmosphere

There are 8 types of rooms, with a total of 605 rooms. Check-out is at 11:00 in all rooms, so you can relax and unwind. The rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, making them bright and open. The most common type of room is the twin room, which is 25 to 26 square meters in size. The sofa by the window serves as a daybed and can be used as an extra bed, so three people can stay in one room.

A functional room with everything you need in a compact space

There is a desk counter along the wall where you can do some light work, and it also comes with an electric kettle and bottled water.

Terrace Twin with bunk beds

We recommend the twin room with terrace bunk beds for families and groups, which can accommodate up to four people. The top bunk bed is fun and will surely be a big hit with children! Spending time together on the terrace in warm seasons and watching the snow in winter is sure to become a memorable part of your trip.

68m2 corner suite on a high floor

If you want to make your stay a little more special, choose the suite room on the 24th floor. It is a corner room with a large window, so you can enjoy a dynamic view.

The bathroom and other areas around the house are spacious.

The suite room is 52 square meters in size, with two 140cm wide beds, a separate bathroom and two sinks, providing a spacious stay.

Natural hot springs springing from 1000 meters underground

One of the attractions of Sapporo Hotel by Granbell is its natural hot spring spa. It is free for guests to use, and is open to the public as well. There is a tub bath for men and a reclining bath for women, as well as a semi-open-air bath that lets in outside air through the windows. You can relax however you like.

A natural hot spring spa with a panoramic view of Sapporo city

Natural light pours in through the large windows that reach the ceiling, giving the room a sense of openness. You can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of downtown Sapporo from the 25th floor. (By the way, the window glass is treated so that it cannot be seen from the outside, so don't worry.)

Autoloyly dry sauna

There is also a sauna in the spa. There are two types: a dry sauna with auto-louver every 30 minutes, and a mist sauna.

An open-air bathing space next to the semi-open-air bath

After the sauna, take advantage of the cold bath and outdoor bathing space to feel refreshed.

A little happy ReFa hair dryer

The women's dressing area is also a bright space with plenty of natural light. In addition to basic skincare and other amenities, it also comes equipped with a ReFa hair dryer and a magnifying mirror for applying makeup.

A lounge where you can enjoy the night view

After taking a bath, you can relax in the lounge space. There are reclining chairs and a raised space, so you can relax while enjoying the view.

A buffet-style breakfast with 90 different dishes

One of the pleasures of a hotel stay is breakfast. Breakfast at Sapporo Hotel by Granbell is served buffet style in the restaurant on the first floor.

A warm atmosphere based on wood

The restaurant has a Scandinavian atmosphere, with a warm wooden interior. There are 90 different dishes on the menu, and they use plenty of ingredients from Hokkaido.

Bite-sized desserts are also fun

In addition to standard Japanese and Western breakfast menu items, the restaurant also offers Hokkaido-style side dishes such as zangi, raw vegetable salads, fruits, and desserts.

I ordered an omelette. Amazing hand movements!

Another attraction is the lively open kitchen, where the chef makes fluffy omelets right in front of you at the egg counter.

A seafood bowl topped with plenty of salmon roe and sweet shrimp that look like they might spill out

There is also a corner where you can make your own seafood bowl using Hokkaido rice and fresh seafood.

Plenty of vegetables, which are often in short supply when traveling

The soup curry, which you can top with your favorite vegetables, is also delicious! The menu is so extensive that you won't be able to try everything you like in one meal. You won't get bored even if you're staying for several nights.

"Moonlight Hokkaido Bar & Bar" on the top floor

Additionally, on the 26th floor, the top floor of the hotel, there is a restaurant called Moonlight Hokkaido Bar & Bar, which offers a panoramic view of Sapporo's nightscape.

Cold hors d'oeuvres from "Lune" (10,000 yen), one of two courses

You can enjoy a course meal themed on "French cuisine with a Japanese essence using ingredients from Hokkaido" while looking out at the night view towards Sapporo Station. There is also a bar that is open until midnight, so we recommend enjoying a drink after your meal.
