Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced a new Park Hyatt hotel for Sapporo. Scheduled to open in 2029, the hotel will be situated in the economic and cultural centre of the Hokkaido Prefecture in northern Japan. It will be the fourth Park Hyatt branded hotel in the country, complementing Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono, a luxury mountain retreat located in Hokkaido’s leading ski resort.
The hotel will be located in a mixed-used tower under development at the junction of the famed Odori Park and bustling Sapporo Ekimae-dori, the city’s main commercial and business thoroughfare. Spanning the 27th through 35th floors, Park Hyatt Sapporo will offers magnificent views of the park and city.
Park Hyatt Sapporo will offer 157 luxurious rooms and suites, world-class culinary and wellness experiences, an indoor swimming pool and inspiring spaces for meetings and events.
Hokkaido’s year-round attractions now account for the most inbound overnight stays and tourism spending of any regional area in Japan, separate from the nation’s three major metropolitan areas. Japan’s northernmost island of Hokkaido is known for rugged wildernesses, superb powder snow, seafood, indigenous culture and more. The city is easily accessible by 90-minute flights from Tokyo, and eventually by high-speed rail when the Bullet Train extends to Sapporo in the early 2030s.
As Japan’s fifth-largest city, Sapporo itself has become a favoured destination. Tanuki Koji shopping street and the Susukino entertainment district bustle with tourists year-round, while Sapporo’s iconic winter landscape has been named one of Japan’s top sights to behold.
Park Hyatt Sapporo will join Hyatt’s growing Japan portfolio of 21 hotels encompassing nine brands, including Andaz, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Place, Hyatt House, Caption by Hyatt, and The Unbound Collection by Hyatt.
