Detailed review & photos “Hotel New Grand Yokohama”

Hotel New Grand is one of Japan’s leading classic hotels consisting of a main building and a tower building. The Marine Tower is also nearby.

The Tower Building is taller than the buildings around the hotel, so it stood out even from a distance.

There was a round-about at the entrance.

There was a closet and cafe corner on the left side of the entrance.

The bathroom was on the right.

The room was very elegant. It was a very nice room with a decoration that would be particularly pleasing to women. The hotel described the rooms as “European elegance” and “expressing the taste of a classic hotel that combines the East and the West” and it was exactly as it said.

The sheets were clean and the mattress was comfortable to lay on.

Four pillows were prepared on the bed.

The cushion that was placed next to the pillow was very nice. The design of this cushion is the hotel’s original logo “Phoenix.”

There was a lamp on one side of the bed.

On the other side of the bed was also a lamp, but also an outlet, USB port and a phone.

Across the bed was a TV, desk and a luggage stand.

There were empty drawers under the TV.

The night view was also gorgeous.

Drinks were prepared in the fridge.

The price of the drinks in the fridge were a little expensive, but it was convenient to have drinks in the room.

There is a restaurant called “Le Normandy” on the 5th floor of the tower building where they served breakfast.

It was a restaurant with a wonderful panoramic view of the city. Although it was on the 5th floor, it still overlooked Yamashita Park, Yokohama Port and Minato Mirai.

Breakfast was Western buffet style.

Freshly cooked eggs.

I was able to enjoy a nice meal with a beautiful view.

There were several restaurants in the main building. This is the Kyoto restaurant “Kumayoan Tankuma Kita” on the 5th floor of the main building. You can have a Japanese breakfast here.

The cafe located on the first floor of the main building offers a popular Western cuisine, such as Seafood Doria, Spaghetti Napolitan, and Pudding A La Mode.

“SOGO” was on the 1st floor of the main building.

They were selling towels with the hotel logo on it, soft scarves, clothes, bags, hats, ties and accessories.

The hotel had a courtyard. There was a fountain in the middle and it had a very nice atmosphere. It was well taken care of.

This is the grand staircase in the main building and is a symbol of this hotel.

This main building is 90 years old.

In 1992, it became a historic building certified by the City of Yokohama, and in 2007 it was certified as a modernized industrial heritage site by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

“The Lobby” has big windows with comfortable sofas to sit on, and you can spend a quiet and relaxing time here.

Convenience store in Yamashita Park

A popular pancake restaurant near the hotel.

I saw elderly couples, Western and foreign couples, and young couples staying. Many of them seemed to be Japanese and Westerners. They were all well mannered.
