In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Rooms here run more spacious than the usual Japanese business hotel, quietly smart and kept clean to the IHG standard. Nothing shouts for attention — the appeal is that everything works and looks the part. With real guests scoring the place 9.1, the standard holds up in practice rather than just on paper.
Food and amenities
Service is professional and runs around the clock, and the facilities are full: several restaurants, a buffet breakfast, a fitness centre and free Wi-Fi. The breakfast spread is the part most guests use, and it gets busy around 8 am, so an earlier or later slot is calmer. It is a large hotel, which is mostly a plus — but the lobby does fill up in high season.
Location and getting there
ANA Crowne Plaza sits about 400 metres from Sapporo Station (JR), a 5-minute walk. On a Hokkaido trip you tend to ride the rails out to other towns — Otaru, Furano, Hakodate — so staying next to the main station is a real, everyday advantage. Odori Park is about 900 metres on foot, the Susukino food-and-nightlife district roughly 1.4 km, and Nijo Market and the Sapporo TV Tower both around 1.1 km. A convenience store sits just 80 metres from the door.
Things to know before booking
Rates start around $97 a night, which makes this pricier than the budget business hotels elsewhere on the list. The atmosphere leans formal and corporate rather than warm-boutique — fine if that is what you want, less so if you were after character. And because it is a big property, expect queues in the lobby at peak check-in and checkout times in high season.
Our take
ANA Crowne Plaza Sapporo is at its best for families, couples and business travellers who want a quality international brand right by the station. We recommend it with confidence — a reliable way to open the Sapporo list.
