About Sapporo Hotel by Granbell

Sapporo Hotel by Granbell is a hotel in Sapporo, Hokkaido. From its onsen spa on an upper floor high above the street, you can take in sweeping views of Sapporo’s beautiful cityscape. There is an automatic löyly sauna with powerful heat and a mist sauna that warms you gently, and the cold plunge, kept chilled by a cooling system, gives you a crisp cool-down. Natural onsen water from a chloride spring rising from deep underground warms the body to the core, and there is a wide range of baths, including a semi-open-air bath where you can feel the outside air and, in the men’s bath only, a ceramic urn bath fed straight from the source, never recirculated. All in all, it is an urban retreat where, after bathing, you can unwind in a lounge reserved for bathers.

Hot SpringONSEN

Main bathhouse

Natural onsen water from a heat-retaining chloride spring rising from deep underground. You can refresh in a variety of baths, including a glass-walled indoor bath looking out over Sapporo, a semi-open-air bath where you can feel the cool breeze, and a herbal bath that changes daily. The men’s bath has an indulgent ceramic urn bath fed straight from the source, never recirculated, and the women’s bath a relaxing reclining bath, for a refined bathing experience.

SaunaSAUNA

Automatic löyly sauna

An airy dry sauna whose windows look down over the city of Sapporo. Automatic löyly runs at set intervals, filling the room at once with hot steam. The heat you feel climbs sharply, and powerful warmth wraps your whole body, bringing on a pleasant sweat. In a room scented with wood, you can gaze at the beautiful view and refresh both body and mind.

Mist sauna

A wet sauna that is easy on the body and warms you gradually. Rich humidity gently envelops the skin, so even those who find the strong heat of a dry sauna hard going can stay comfortable. The warm mist eases tension throughout the body, letting you sink into deep relaxation and lose track of time.

Cold BathCOLD BATH

Cold plunge

After the sauna has warmed you, the cold pulls the body taut in the most pleasant way. A cooling system keeps the cold plunge at a steady chill at all times, so you get a crisp cool-down whatever the season. Alternating between the sauna and the cold leads you deep into totonou, the profound state of relaxation that follows. After the cold plunge, you can rest at leisure on chairs set out in the bathing area and in the space for cooling off in the open air.
