Courtyard by Marriott Sapporo コートヤード・バイ・マリオット札幌 札幌萬怡酒店

Courtyard by Marriott Sapporo is a 321-room hotel located at 1-57 Minami 10-jo Nishi 1-chome in Chuo Ward, opening in July 2024 as the first Courtyard-branded property in Hokkaido. It is just a few minutes’ walk from Nakajima-Koen Station on the Namboku Subway Line and about 10 minutes by subway from Sapporo Station, offering convenient access for both business and leisure. With Toyohira River and Nakajima Park nearby, guests can enjoy a balance of city convenience and natural surroundings.

The hotel’s design concept centers on “Harmony of Nature and City,” blending calm, modern aesthetics throughout the exterior and interiors. The lobby features a lounge with a fireplace, creating a comfortable space for relaxing before check-in or after returning from the city. Guest rooms are divided into seven categories, accommodating solo business travelers, couples, families, and groups.

All 321 rooms feature high-quality bedding, free Wi-Fi, a TV, refrigerator, electric kettle, in-room safe, humidifying air purifier, and bidet toilet. Rooms are designed with practical workspaces and well-placed outlets, supporting both wired and wireless internet for business use. Depending on the category, bathrooms may include either a shower-focused layout or a bathtub, with larger vanity and bath areas in higher room types.

On the 2nd floor, the all-day dining restaurant “Substance” serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, mainly in a buffet format. With large windows, a semi-open kitchen, and a live bakery, the restaurant offers internationally inspired dishes using Hokkaido seafood, dairy, and vegetables, along with environmentally and socially conscious ingredients. A premium French dining area is located in the back, offering multi-course meals ideal for special occasions.

The first-floor “THE LOUNGE” is an American bistro-style bar lounge built around a central fireplace. Alongside casual dishes—its signature Courtyard Burger made with a house-made beef patty—guests can enjoy Hokkaido wines, craft beers, and an afternoon tea set available during limited hours. The space functions as a café during the day and a bar in the evening.

Wellness facilities include a 24-hour fitness center and a modern Japanese-style public bath. Located on the second floor, the bath facility operates from 6:00 to 11:00 and 15:00 to 24:00, offering a “sento-style” bathing experience for guests who want more than a shower before or after exploring the city.

The hotel provides on-site parking for a daily fee of ¥2,500 (tax included), though spaces are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Booking a parking-inclusive plan is recommended for guaranteed use. EV chargers are not currently available. For those using public transit, Nakajima-Koen Station is the main access point, offering direct connections to the Sapporo, Odori, and Susukino areas.

Check-in begins at 15:00 and check-out is at 12:00, giving guests a slightly later departure time than typical business hotels. The property offers free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout, mobile key compatibility, and other digital services being introduced gradually. The hotel is fully non-smoking, with a designated smoking area, and does not permit pets.

The surrounding area includes Toyohira River and Nakajima Park within walking distance—ideal for jogging or a leisurely stroll—while the Susukino and Odori districts are easily reached on foot or by subway. Whether visiting during winter events or the Sapporo Snow Festival, guests can navigate the city efficiently while still enjoying a quiet base near nature.

Overall, Courtyard by Marriott Sapporo combines a calm Nakajima Park–area location with 321 guest rooms across seven categories, an all-day dining restaurant and stylish lounge, a fitness center and Japanese-style public bath, and Marriott Bonvoy service standards. It is a strong option for travelers seeking a modern, comfortable stay in central Sapporo—whether earning or redeeming Bonvoy points, visiting for business, or exploring the city for leisure.
