I decided to stay at "Shin-Yokohama Prince Hotel," because this hotel is a landmark of Shin-Yokohama. The nearest station is Shin-Yokohama Station. It is a 5-minute walk from JR Shin-Yokohama Station and a 2-minute walk from Shin-Yokohama Station on the Blue Line Subway. The Yokohama Arena is right next to the hotel, and you can walk to the famous Ramen Museum, as well as the Nissan Stadium, the home stadium of Yokohama F Marinos.
What is the appearance of the hotel? Check the entrance and reception
The hotel is a 42-storey high-rise building, so you can see it from a distance. In addition, next to the hotel is a group-affiliated commercial facility “Prince Pepe” which is connected with a walkway.
It is a round building with the name “Prince Hotel” at the top.
There was a car port at the main entrance, and limousine buses and large sightseeing buses from Haneda Airport were parked at the front.

The entrance door was round as well.
If you come from the station on foot, you will most likely pass through this walkway.
The lobby was spacious.
The ceiling went up to the 3rd floor and it was a very open space.
Front desk
There was also a self check-in and check-out machine next to the front desk.
The elevator hall was gorgeous.
