Sapporo
Locally rooted design hotel with a contemporary, art-forward aesthetic. Rooms come in three color styles — Urban, Natural, and Hip. The hotel leans into Hokkaido identity hard: local art on the walls, Hokkaido ingredients on the plate, Hokkaido skincare in the Cross Floor rooms.

Why It Matters
Tablet Hotels-listed and Michelin Guide-selected. One of the few urban Sapporo hotels with a genuine rooftop onsen experience, direct bookings guaranteed lowest price, and a real local art program running across all standard rooms. Holds a Sakura Quality Green sustainability certification — one of only a handful of Sapporo hotels to achieve it.
Cross Hotel Sapporo is a design-forward urban hotel in the middle of Sapporo's business and cultural district, a 5-minute walk from JR Sapporo Station. Opened in 2007 and operated by ORIX Hotels & Resorts, it has 181 rooms across 18 floors, split between artsy Standard Floor rooms (4F–13F) decorated with original works by 13 Hokkaido artists, and premium Cross Floor rooms (14F–17F) with lounge access and elevated in-room amenities. The signature draw is the 18th-floor rooftop public bath with panoramic city views — both indoor and semi-outdoor pools, open until 1am.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Airwave Room
Launched March 2025. Natural color style, 35 sqm, fits 2–4 guests. The gimmick is legitimately good: the mattress pads and pillows are Airweave — a premium Japanese brand built around sleep research and breathability. Same Cross Floor perks as other upper rooms: specialty coffee grinder, Hokkaido skincare, bathrobe, city view bath, meetlounge access.
35 sqmCross Floor Double
Upper-floor double (14F–17F) in Urban or Hip color style. The ReFa Room variant of this category comes with a ReFa Beautech Dryer Smart, ReFa Ion Care shampoo and treatment, and ReFa Fine Bubble shower head — plus textile art by designer Kanako Kajiwara on cushion covers and bed throws. 23 sqm but well-designed; some have a unit bath, some have a separate bathroom with view.
Double (180cm) · 23 sqmCross Floor Twin
Upper-floor room (14F–17F) in a Natural color style. Can accommodate up to 4 guests with a sofa bed added for third and fourth guests. Features a view bath overlooking the cityscape, separate toilet, Simmons bed with 7.5-inch specification, and all Cross Floor perks: specialty coffee (you grind it yourself), Hokkaido asparagus skincare gel, bathrobe, and complimentary meetlounge access.
Twin · 35 sqmCross Suite
Only 3 of these exist. Each has a distinct interior style. The 44 sqm gives genuine breathing room — separate areas for sleeping and sitting, city view bath, separate toilet, full Cross Floor amenities. The most premium in-room experience in the building short of a specialty concept room.
44 sqmGood Night Sleep Room
One room per day only. Curated by a sleep improvement instructor. Natural color style, 44 sqm with a walk-in closet and city view bath. Extras include original aroma oil 'IKI' dripped on Sapporo soft stone (a local tuff), pesticide-free herb tea from Ishikari City, and Hollywood-style twin beds (two 120cm beds that can be joined). A genuinely thoughtful sleep-focused room.
Twin/Hollywood (2 x 120cm) · 44 sqm
Standard Floor Double
Standard floor double rooms (4F–13F) with bold art pieces as the design anchor. The artwork is more statement-making here — large-format prints and dynamic wall designs. Same amenities as twin: Simmons bed with down duvet, 50-inch smart TV, rain shower in some rooms, unit bath in others.
Standard Floor Semi-Double
Compact and functional room with a 160cm-wide queen-size bed. Popular with solo business travelers. Comes with a rain shower (no bathtub), meaning more living space. Art on the walls from the Hokkaido artist program. Straightforward and well-equipped: kettle, fridge, smart TV, Bluetooth speaker.
Queen (160cm wide)Standard Floor Twin
The most varied room type at the hotel. Spread across floors 4–13, these rooms are each decorated with original artwork by Hokkaido artists — themes include Hokkaido landscapes, animals, and Ainu culture. Multiple color styles (Urban, Natural, Hip). Standard amenities: Simmons bed, 50-inch internet TV, 40L fridge, humidifying air purifier, Bluetooth speaker, kettle, safety deposit box, rain shower or unit bath.
