Keio Prelia Hotel Sapporo is arguably the best hotel I stayed at in Japan between Osaka, Tokyo and Sapporo.

When you arrive, check in is on the first floor immediately as you enter. Someone at the front desk acknowledged and greeted me every time. Staff was incredibly friendly. Check in was a breeze. There were multiple front desk staff members who helped me translate or call restaurants to see if they would take my reservation on short notice. I appreciated them so much!

The room felt sparkling clean and the amenities were awesome. Everything worked in the room. Thank you, housekeeping and engineering teams!

This was by far my hotel breakfast at any of the holes we stayed at and I basically ate here every morning. There was plenty of variety for us to choose from and the food was soooo tasty from Japanese to western-inspired dishes with specialty dishes from ingredients grown in Hokkaido!

The utensils, plates, bowls and cups were clean. They had fresh, hot award winning raclette cheese you could ask for to be poured over potatoes and veggies to order. The Hokkaido corn soup was so magical and made in a Dutch oven pot. I absolutely loved the housemade tofu that used Hokkaido soy beans, and the butter rice made with Hokkaido corn! Oh!! And the Hokkaido custard with bittersweet caramel was to die for. They also had this stunning honeycomb display sourced from multiple counties that dropped honey into a trough and was absolutely delicious.

This was the only hotel in Japan we stayed at that offered such a variety of specialty dishes, so it was extremely special to me.

All the restaurant staff and servers were extremely nice and extremely attentive with clearing our tables. Thank you so much to the back of house chefs/stewards and front of house restaurant staff! You guys seriously rock!!

I want to call the quality of the staff, room and restaurant out because you will be surprised the lack care you may encounter in a big city like Tokyo… it was a polarizing experience for me. I am so grateful to have one of the best hotel experiences ever at Keio in Sapporo.

The location is also excellent and fairly close to Daimaru and the Sapporo Station, about 2 blocks away.

Of all the hotels we stayed at in Japan this trip, this place was a top favorite. I would 100000% come back here when visiting Sapporo / Hokkaido again.
