Opening July 1, 2025: FAV LUX Sapporo Susukino – A Hotel Stay That Feels Like Home, Complete with Public Bath & Sauna
What is FAV LUX Sapporo Susukino, opening in the Sapporo Susukino area?
Entrance of FAV LUX Sapporo Susukino
FAV LUX Sapporo Susukino is a hotel featuring 84 guest rooms, a large public bath, a sauna, and a cafe & bar. It is located at Minami 6-jo Nishi 7-chome, in the heart of the Susukino area. The Sapporo Susukino location will be the fourth in the FAV LUX series nationwide and the first in Hokkaido. A key feature is that most rooms are equipped with a mini-kitchen, microwave, and washer-dryer, allowing for a stay that feels like living in a private villa.
Rooms with bunk beds, perfect for group stays
The "Bunk" room, featuring a counter kitchen and living space
The iconic room type at FAV LUX Sapporo Susukino is the Bunk room. With a spacious 38.8 square meters and a capacity for six people, this room, true to its name, features bunk beds and is perfect for families or group trips.
A kitchen that will make you want to buy Hokkaido ingredients and cook
The room has a counter kitchen that doubles as a table, and is well-stocked with cooking utensils and dishes. You can also prepare simple meals using the IH cooking heater and microwave.
The bunk beds are surprisingly spacious and comfortable
The lower bunk is a spacious queen-size bed. The upper bunk, a single size, has a hideaway feel that is very popular with children. It is positioned sideways and has ample ceiling height, so it doesn't feel cramped.
The headboard allows you to directly plug in a Type-C charging cable
Additionally, the area around the beds is full of thoughtful touches, such as small shelves and multiple power outlets.
The bathroom area, with the warmth of wood
The bathroom area features two washbasins, a separate bath with a washing area, and is equipped with a washer-dryer and detergent.
Do laundry anytime with the in-room washer-dryer
Although there is a laundry room on the second floor where the public bath is located, having the convenience of doing laundry in your own room is a great plus. This makes for a comfortable stay during sweaty seasons or in winter when luggage tends to be bulky.
Rooms for couples and suites with private saunas

The hotel offers a variety of room types besides the Bunk rooms. For a more special stay, the "Sauna Bunk Suite" is recommended. It boasts a luxurious 69.87 square meters of space with a capacity for six people. The kitchen and living areas are also spacious and have a high-end feel.
An in-room sauna spacious enough for everyone
The suite features a large private sauna and a cold plunge bath, allowing everyone to enjoy the sauna together wearing matching sauna hats.
A private 'totonoi' space for outdoor air bathing
It even comes complete with a 'totonoi' space for outdoor air bathing, making it an irresistible room for sauna lovers.
The "Japanese Modern" room with its comfortable, modern Japanese atmosphere
This is the "Japanese Modern" room, where you can relax on tatami mats. It is 37.84 square meters and includes two queen-size beds. By pulling out the futons stored under the beds, it can accommodate up to six people.
The simple and functional "Queen" room
While FAV LUX Sapporo Susukino offers plenty of Bunk rooms for group stays, there are also single-bed rooms for solo travelers, business trips, or couples. The "Queen" room is 19.19 square meters with a capacity for two people. It features a spacious queen-size bed and a desk, making it convenient for work during a business trip.
The "Universal with HERALBONY" room, shining with artistic sensibility
Furthermore, the universal room, equipped with features like no steps and a wheelchair-accessible bathroom, is brimming with the unique FAV LUX style. The "Universal with HERALBONY" room is 37.48 square meters and has a capacity for four people. HERALBONY is one of today's most talked-about companies, challenging to create a new culture from the starting point of welfare, with the mission to "Let your exceptionality shine." The walls, curtains, and cushions feature impressive works of art.
A large public bath and sauna for guests, available day and night
The stylish and serene women's public bath
On the second floor, you'll find the first large public bath in the FAV LUX series. It is exclusively for hotel guests, with separate sections for men and women; the women's section is accessible via a password. The interior of the public bath, with its calm color scheme and subdued lighting, is sure to provide a relaxing experience.
The sauna, set to 90°C
The sauna features impressive lighting. It is said to be a hybrid sauna, equipped with a heater with an auto-löyly function, as well as a heater under the bench. With a 90 cm deep cold plunge bath set to 15°C and an outdoor 'totonoi' space, you can enjoy a fulfilling sauna time.
A cafe to savor house-roasted coffee from Nagasaki's JUNE COFFEE

Additionally, on the first floor of the hotel is a branch of JUNE COFFEE, a cafe originating from Nagasaki. This popular shop is known for its house-roasted coffee and European-style bread. During breakfast hours, it is open exclusively to hotel guests.
A delightful breakfast with a choice of menu items
Breakfast is a pre-fixe style where you can choose your main, side, and drink. On this day, I chose the seasonal campagne sandwich, homemade granola yogurt, and an iced cafe latte. The cafe & bar is also open to the public for lunch and dinner, making it versatile for various occasions.
FAV LUX Sapporo Susukino is an urban hotel that charms with its diverse range of rooms where you can stay as if you live there, and its extensive facilities. With a large public bath, sauna, and a cafe serving house-roasted coffee, it is highly recommended for group trips and more. Make it your new base for exploring Sapporo.
