In the northern reaches of Japan, where pristine nature meets cosmopolitan charm, InterContinental Sapporo introduces a new era of refined luxury. Nestled in the heart of Hokkaido's vibrant capital, the hotel redefines the city escape — an urban hideaway designed for serenity, sophistication, and seamless connection to nature. With generous rooms starting at 42 square meters, world-class dining, and impeccable service, the hotel celebrates the art of balance between modern indulgence and authentic Japanese sensibility.

A Sanctuary in Sapporo

InterContinental Sapporo captures the essence of Hokkaido: fresh, pure, and quietly powerful. From the moment guests arrive, they are welcomed by understated elegance — a design that blends natural textures, soft tones, and large windows framing the region's dramatic seasonal landscape. Whether blanketed in snow, bathed in spring light, or surrounded by summer greenery, the view itself becomes part of the hotel's tranquil atmosphere.

This is more than a place to stay; it's a destination for the senses, where adventure and relaxation coexist in perfect harmony.

Seamless Access and Central Location

Located in central Sapporo, the hotel offers effortless access to both city life and nature's beauty. Guests can reach the property from Shin-Chitose Airport in about an hour by car, or roughly forty minutes by train followed by a short subway ride. For convenience, a limousine bus also connects directly in about eighty-five minutes.

Sapporo Station is just ten minutes away by taxi, and the Nakajima Koen Station on the Namboku subway line lies a short four-minute walk from the entrance. The main entertainment and shopping districts — including Susukino and Odori Park — are only one or two stations away, ensuring guests are always close to the city's cultural heart. On-site parking accommodates up to twenty cars, a rare luxury in urban Japan, while the hotel's dedicated concierge ensures smooth arrivals and departures for every guest.

Redefining Luxury in Northern Japan

The InterContinental Sapporo stands as a beacon of sophisticated comfort, offering 149 guestrooms including 13 suites and 32 Club InterContinental rooms. Every space has been meticulously crafted to create a sense of peace and inspiration.

From the Classic Rooms to the Serenity Suite, all accommodations feature elegant interiors, warm wood accents, and expansive windows overlooking the Toyohira River, Nakajima Park, or the city skyline. The design draws inspiration from Hokkaido's natural palette — calm greens, snowy whites, and gentle earth tones — creating a connection between indoors and outdoors that feels both grounding and uplifting.

Culinary Excellence – A Celebration of Hokkaido's Bounty

Dining at InterContinental Sapporo is a journey through flavor and artistry. Each restaurant showcases the richness of Hokkaido's ingredients — from its renowned seafood and dairy products to its seasonal produce. Three distinct venues invite guests to savor the region's best, prepared with imagination and finesse.

AuBlanc – All-Day Dining with French Flair

Located on the ninth floor, AuBlanc offers a vibrant culinary experience from morning to night. Breakfast is served as a generous buffet featuring local specialties and international classics. At lunch and dinner, guests can choose from à la carte and set menus inspired by casual French cuisine. A highlight is the in-house bakery, filling the restaurant with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries.

Every dish celebrates the seasonal rhythm of Hokkaido — fresh spring vegetables, summer seafood, autumn mushrooms, and winter game — creating a sense of place that evolves throughout the year.

Sawaka – Contemporary Kappo Dining

For an immersive Japanese dining experience, Sawaka brings the elegance of kappo-style cuisine to life. Using meticulously sourced ingredients from Hokkaido and beyond, chefs perform live at the counter, combining traditional techniques with modern creativity.
