The entrance was elegant.

Once inside there was an elevator on the first floor and this beautiful spiral staircase leading up to the lobby on the second floor.

The lobby was stylish and had an oceanic atmosphere, partly because the hotel was located right by the ocean.

What is the Club Bay View Double Room like?

Guest room entrance door.

IMG_1021(11) copy

There was a wall which was a mirror and an open style closet at the entrance.

IMG_1021(27) copy

Walking forward, there was a sink next to the closet and a bathroom across from it.

IMG_1021(4) copy

The 46 sqm wide room was spacious and luxurious. The room was based on brown and white, and the atmosphere was suitable for a hotel located next to the sea. It felt as if I was on a cruise ship.

IMG_1021(4) copy

The bed mattress was stiff, but felt nice on my back when I laid down. There were both hard and soft pillows, so you can choose the softness you like. I was able to sleep very comfortably.

IMG_1021(19) copy

There were tables on both sides of the bed with a phone, note set and an alarm clock. In addition to the light switch, there was also an outlet and a USB port which was convenient for charging electric devices.

IMG_1021(6) copy

There was a sunroom with a sofa. Sunlight coming in from the large window was warm and relaxing. I was able to enjoy a nice view of the city while sitting on the sofa.

IMG_1021(16) copy

There is a window between the bathroom and the bedroom, but there is a button that will switch the window to a nontransparent window.

IMG_1021(15) copy

There was nothing blocking the view of the sea.

IMG_1021(22) copy

I chose a room with a bay view, so I could see the ocean right in front of me. I could see the Bay Bridge, so it was lit up at night and had a nice atmosphere.

Facilities in the hotel

IMG_1021 (13) copy_Fotor

This is the “Club Intercontinental Lounge” on the 5th floor.

IMG_1021 (12) copy

Guests can have breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails at this lounge. You can also hold meetings in the meeting rooms.

IMG_1021 (14) copy

Breakfast was served at the club lounge. There are Japanese and Western dishes, and I chose Western dishes. There are two types of Western food, one that allows you to choose meat and fish, and the other that allows you to choose eggs. The food was very delicious.

IMG_1021 (18) copy

The rooftop had an open space dedicated to guests called “Rooftop 1859.”

Hotel Surroundings

The ocean is right by the hotel and there are spots where you can enjoy the city of Yokohama, such as the Red Brick Warehouse, MARINE & WALK YOKOHAMA, Cup Noodle Museum and Cosmo World. The port town at night had a very nice atmosphere. I was able to fully enjoy myself outside of the hotel, but was able to get back to the hotel easily.

Staff and Guests

There were many young staff, but everyone was friendly and cheerful. The pleasant response made my stay more comfortable.

IMG_1021 (6) copy

I saw many couples staying at this hotel. There were only a few people with children. Yokohama Minatomirai is a perfect spot to go on a date, so it is convenient hotel for those wanting to visit the bay area.

Access

Minatomirai Station or JR Sakuragicho is the nearest station, but both take more than 15 minutes on foot and there is no limousine bus transfer, so access is by no means good. It was difficult to walk to the hotel with my luggage, so I took a public bus. Since the hotel is annexed to commercial facilities, it was convenient because convenience stores, cafes and restaurants were nearby.

Summary

I had a nice stay at this hotel. I was satisfied with everything about this hotel except for the fact that it was far from the station. This is a great hotel to enjoy the view of the sea and the city of Minato Mirai in Yokohama. In addition, there is a rooftop sitting area, so you can enjoy the scenery from up above. It had a very romantic atmosphere. I used the club lounge this time, and the food was delicious. To be honest, one night wasn’t enough. It is not a cheap hotel, but I would love to stay here again on a special occasion.
