Hotel Vista Sapporo Odori ホテルビスタ札幌［大通］ 札幌大通威斯特酒店

Hotel Vista Sapporo Odori is a business hotel located along the Tanukikoji 5-chome shopping arcade in Sapporo’s central Chuo Ward. It is about a 4-minute walk from Susukino Station on the Namboku Line and about 5 minutes from Odori Station. Because you can access the hotel via the underground Pole Town passage connected to both stations, it is possible to reach the building with almost no exposure to snow or rain—an especially valuable feature during Sapporo’s winter season. Major sights such as Odori Park, the Susukino crossing, the Sapporo Clock Tower, and the TV Tower are all within walking distance, making this hotel convenient for both sightseeing and business trips.

The property has 153 guest rooms, offered in a wide range of types including Standard Singles, Doubles, Twins, Triples, and Family Rooms. Its most distinctive feature is that every room has a fully separated bathroom, toilet, and wash basin. Rather than a typical unit bath, each room includes a home-style bathroom with a washing area, allowing guests to shower before soaking in the bathtub and to use the toilet or sink without interfering with someone else using the bath. This is an uncommon setup for a business hotel and is especially convenient for families or groups.

Guest rooms feature a simple, functional design with warm wood tones and calm color palettes. All rooms are equipped with free Wi-Fi, individual air conditioning, a refrigerator, electric kettle, LCD TV, work desk, and a toilet with bidet functions. Beds use mattresses from Simmons and other reputable domestic bedding manufacturers, ensuring good rest after a long day of work or sightseeing. Elevator access requires a keycard, offering an added layer of security for solo travelers or female guests.

The bathrooms include a bathtub, shower, washing area, and bath stool, mirroring the layout of a typical Japanese home bath. Amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, body soap, towels, hair dryer, toothbrushes, razors, and brushes are provided, making it easy to stay even with minimal luggage. The toilet is located in its own separate room, helping guests get ready simultaneously in the morning without crowding.

Breakfast is served buffet-style in the hotel’s restaurant. The hotel highlights its “Hokkaido Morning Buffet,” featuring local dishes such as jingisukan (grilled lamb), salmon chanchan-yaki, and freshly cooked rice with a selection of Japanese and Western side dishes. A live kitchen offers made-to-order miso ramen and pork rice bowls, providing travelers with a chance to sample Hokkaido flavors even during a busy trip.

Hotel facilities include a front desk and lobby, vending machines, a coin laundry, and an ice machine—useful for longer stays. The front desk also offers luggage storage, courier service, and rental items such as humidifiers, irons, and extra pillows. The entire property is non-smoking, with smoking permitted only in designated areas, ensuring a comfortable environment for nonsmoking guests.

Its location along Tanukikoji makes daily convenience effortless: convenience stores, drugstores, restaurants, cafés, and souvenir shops are all within a few minutes’ walk. Guests can exit the underground Pole Town walkway at the Tanukikoji 4-chome exit and reach the hotel via the covered arcade—ideal in rainy or snowy weather. Odori Park is just a few minutes away, and the Susukino district is also easily accessible on foot, making the hotel a practical base during events such as the Sapporo Snow Festival.

The hotel does not have its own parking facility and instead directs guests to nearby partner parking lots. As Odori and Susukino stations are both easily accessible via underground walkways, the hotel primarily caters to guests using public transportation. However, guests arriving by car can use nearby partner or general coin parking. Details and conditions vary by location and season, so checking the latest PDF guide on the official website is recommended.

Reservations made through the official website include family-friendly perks such as free stays for one child per bed when sharing with an adult. With its location between Odori and Susukino, fully separated bathroom layout, keycard security, and breakfast that highlights Hokkaido flavors, Hotel Vista Sapporo Odori is a well-balanced choice that offers strong value, convenience, and comfort for business travelers, tourists, and families alike.
