Hyatt loyalists will soon have another location of the hotelier’s top luxury brand to check out. The Park Hyatt Sapporo, the fourth in Japan, is being developed with plans to open the hotel in 2029. The hotel will be located in the Hokkaido Prefecture in northern Japan (not far from the Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono, which is located in Hokkaido’s leading ski resort).
The hotel will be located in a mixed-used tower that is under development at the intersection of Odori Park and the bustling Sapporo Ekimae-dori, which the city’s main commercial and business thoroughfare. It will occupy the 27th through 35th floors of the tower and offer views of the park and city. Architect Kengo Kuma will design the hotel and it will offer 157 rooms and suites, dining and wellness experiences, an indoor swimming pool, as well as meeting and event spaces.
Hokkaido is Japan’s northernmost island and known for rugged wildernesses, snow, seafood, indigenous culture, and more. The city is easily accessible with 90-minute flights from Tokyo and the Bullet Train will extend to Sapporo in the early 2030s. Sapporo is Japan’s fifth-largest city and offers visitors access to Tanuki Koji shopping street and the Susukino entertainment district. Sapporo’s iconic winter landscape draws tourists and about one hour away you’ll find the Japanese macaques or snow monkeys (I have always wanted to see them).
David Udell, Group President of Asia Pacific at Hyatt, said:
Park Hyatt Sapporo is our second collaboration with Heiwa Real Estate, after Caption by Hyatt Kabutocho Tokyo, which is set to open in 2025. We sincerely appreciate their confidence in Hyatt, and we are honored to join with them in elevating the luxury offerings in this dynamic city. We are excited to be part of the ongoing transformation of Sapporo, as more discerning business and leisure travelers, including World of Hyatt members, head north to discover Hokkaido.”
Anthony’s Take: I love the Park Hyatt brand for its understated elegance. Japan is on my list of countries to return to and I have never been to Sapporo. Adding it to the list.
