Piece Chitose S1 ピエス千歳 S1 千歲片段 S1

Piece Chitose S1 is an apartment-style accommodation designed around the concept of “living like a local,” offering a stay experience that differs from a standard business hotel. Located at 1-7-1 Shimizu-cho in Chitose, the property is about a 13-minute walk from Chitose Station and roughly 15 minutes by car from New Chitose Airport. Its surroundings include a variety of restaurants and convenience stores, allowing guests to dine out or shop for groceries easily—ideal for both overnight stays and longer visits lasting several days or weeks.

Opened in 2019, the property features 26 rooms and operates more like a furnished apartment complex than a traditional hotel. The building is fully non-smoking and equipped with auto-lock entrances, card keys, and security cameras. Check-in and check-out are handled through unmanned self-service kiosks: guests enter their reservation details at a terminal and receive a key card without the need for face-to-face contact. With minimal staff interaction, the setup works well for travelers who prefer efficient, contact-light stays.

Room types include Singles, Twins, and Connecting Rooms. Twin Rooms are particularly spacious at approximately 39 sqm—significantly larger than typical business hotel rooms—and provide enough room to move comfortably even with two semi-double beds. Connecting Rooms combine two Twin Rooms, allowing groups or families of up to four to stay together while still keeping separate spaces. Single Rooms are also generously equipped, with ample storage and full kitchen facilities, making them suitable for long-term business assignments or training stays.

One of the defining features of Piece Chitose S1 is that every room includes a fully equipped kitchen. Each kitchen features a built-in gas stove, full-size refrigerator with freezer, microwave, toaster oven, rice cooker, electric kettle, cookware, utensils, and tableware. This allows for everyday cooking—not just simple reheating—making it easy to manage meals and maintain nutritional balance during longer business trips or budget-conscious stays.

The property is also designed with long-term comfort in mind. All rooms come with separate bath and toilet areas, plus an independent wash basin and changing space. Bathrooms are equipped with drying functions, allowing guests to dry laundry indoors during winter or rainy days. Toilets include washlet features, and showers use ultra-fine bubble heads for added comfort. Each room has its own washing machine (with detergent), enabling guests to wash, dry, and store clothing entirely within their room—eliminating the need for a coin laundry.

In-room amenities lean toward a residential setup: large flat-screen TVs, individual air-conditioning, and even floor heating to keep rooms warm during Hokkaido’s winter. Ample storage, including closets, shoe cabinets, and dish cabinets, helps keep longer stays organized. Air purifiers, humidifiers, safes, vacuum cleaners, and irons are also provided, making the room feel ready to “live in” from the moment guests open their suitcase. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the building, supporting remote work and online meetings.

Instead of a staffed front desk, the property offers a lounge area on the second floor. This bright, sunlit space can be used for casual meetings, remote work, or as a rentable venue. Sofas and tables create a relaxed environment where guests can work, collaborate, or simply take a break—serving as an alternative space to the private rooms.

The property provides 11 free on-site parking spaces, available on a first-come, first-served basis. If the lot is full, nearby paid parking is available. While the hotel is not directly adjacent to Chitose Station, its location in a calm residential area with restaurants offers a quiet environment. Spots such as Aoba Park and the Chitose Salmon Aquarium are only a short drive away, adding convenience for weekend outings or short sightseeing trips.

Overall, Piece Chitose S1 caters to guests who want “a home-like environment near the airport.” With spacious 39 sqm rooms equipped with full kitchens, washing machines, bathroom drying systems, and separate bath and toilet areas—combined with unmanned check-in and free parking—the property offers a more residential style of stay than a typical business hotel. From long-term solo business travelers to couples, small groups, and guests seeking an extended workation, it is an appealing choice for those who want to settle into Chitose with comfort and independence.
