Chitose Station Hotel 千歳ステーションホテル 千歲站酒店

Chitose Station Hotel is a convenient “station-connected” property, directly linked to JR Chitose Station by a pedestrian deck. Located at 7-1789-3 Chiyoda-cho in central Chitose, the hotel is just about one minute from the station’s north ticket gate via an indoor walkway—meaning guests can reach the front desk without getting wet in rain or snow. JR New Chitose Airport Station is roughly 7 minutes away by rapid or local train, and the airport itself is only about 10–15 minutes by car. With rapid trains to Sapporo taking around 30 minutes, the hotel serves as an excellent base for travel throughout the central Hokkaido region.

The property is integrated with the Chitose Station Plaza commercial complex, surrounded by restaurants, drugstores, a 100-yen shop, and a large Aeon supermarket. This urban setting makes it easy to pick up necessities, grab dinner, or find a second spot for drinks after check-in. At the same time, JR Chitose Station is compact, and the surrounding area is walkable and easy to navigate—even for first-time visitors.

The hotel offers seven room types, including Single, Deluxe Single, Double, Twin, Family Room, Japanese-Western Family Room, and Family Suite, totaling around 100 rooms. Standard Singles are approximately 15 sqm with a 140 cm semi-double bed, offering a roomy layout for solo stays. Deluxe Singles are 16 sqm and feature a separate bath and toilet. Double and Twin rooms are about 20 sqm, while Family Rooms are around 26 sqm—providing more space than typically expected in this price range and enough room to open suitcases comfortably.

For groups or multigenerational trips, the Japanese-Western Family Room (approx. 52 sqm) accommodates up to five guests, combining beds with a tatami sitting area where futons can be laid out. The hotel’s largest Family Suite (approx. 78 sqm) features playful, animal-themed children’s beds and a whimsical interior—ideal for celebrations or family trips designed to delight kids. Both rooms include separate bath and toilet areas, making morning routines smoother for families.

All rooms include free Wi-Fi and wired internet, a refrigerator, electric kettle, humidifying air purifier, and pajama-style loungewear. Bathrooms provide shampoo, conditioner, body soap, toothbrushes, razors, hairbrushes, cotton swabs, and bath additives. Except for the Single rooms with unit baths, most room types offer separate bath and toilet areas—a highly valued feature among business travelers and families who prefer soaking in a tub and keeping facilities divided.

Breakfast is one of the hotel’s signature highlights. Served free of charge for guests, the Japanese–Western buffet is offered in the second-floor lobby area from 6:00 to 10:00, allowing travelers with early flights to enjoy a full meal before departure. Around 30 selections—including homemade dishes, salads, simmered items, bread, rice, miso soup, eggs, and sausages—provide enough variety even for multi-night stays. A drink bar with coffee and juices is also available. The combination of “station-connected convenience” and “complimentary breakfast of this quality” is a key reason for many repeat guests.

The second-floor lobby also offers a “welcome coffee” service, available from 6:00–10:00 and 14:00–23:00. Guests can enjoy complimentary coffee, café mocha, hot cocoa, and other drinks—a small but appreciated lounge-style perk that provides a comfortable break after long travel or before departure. Despite being a business hotel, the presence of this relaxed waiting-area atmosphere enhances the overall comfort during a stay.

For guests arriving by car, the hotel partners with the nearby multistory parking facility at Chitose Station Plaza. Parking is free for hotel guests until noon on the day of checkout. With over 400 spaces and a 2.2 m height limit, the garage is large enough to minimize full-capacity issues. From the third floor of the garage, guests can walk directly into the hotel’s second-floor lobby via a covered passage—making winter check-ins particularly smooth.

Hotel services include luggage storage, courier handling, dry-cleaning arrangements, and photocopying/fax support—covering the essentials for business stays. The lobby features an internet corner and local sightseeing brochures, useful for gathering information about the area. While the hotel does not offer a large public bath or leisure facilities, it focuses instead on practical conveniences: direct station access, free breakfast, complimentary parking, and free Wi-Fi in all rooms.

Overall, Chitose Station Hotel is ideal for guests who want both “easy transportation” and “practical comfort.” With one-minute indoor access to JR Chitose Station, seven-minute rail access to New Chitose Airport, a complimentary Japanese–Western breakfast, free partner parking, and a variety of room types suited for solo travelers, families, and groups, the hotel works well for business stays, pre- and post-flight overnights, and multi-day trips around central Hokkaido. Its stress-free winter access and family-friendly room options also make it a strong choice for travelers who prioritize convenience and comfort during their stay.
