Natural Hot Spring Premier Hotel -CABIN- Sapporo is a business hotel with its own hot spring, located in Minami 5-jo Nishi 7-chome in central Sapporo. It sits in the Susukino area—one of Japan’s three major entertainment districts—yet in a slightly quieter part of the neighborhood. The hotel is about 10 minutes from JR Sapporo Station by taxi, roughly a 7-minute walk from Susukino Station (Namboku Line), and just a few minutes from the “Higashi-Honganji-Mae” streetcar stop, making it a convenient base for both sightseeing and business trips.

The highlight of the property is its natural hot spring, “Susukino no Yu,” sourced from the hotel’s own spring. The bath features a rare brown-colored mineral-rich water, classified as a sodium chloride spring. The slightly salty water is known to retain heat well, helping guests warm up deeply from within. With both indoor and open-air baths available around the clock until 10 a.m., guests can enjoy a soak after a late check-in or start their morning with a relaxing bath.

The hotel is also well-known for its sauna facilities. It was one of the first business hotels in Sapporo to introduce Finnish-style self-löyly, earning it the nickname “Purekya” among sauna enthusiasts. Amenities include a four-tier sauna bench, calming lighting, a cold plunge fed by natural groundwater, and a dedicated outdoor-style cool-down area. A meditation-style sauna is also available exclusively for women, allowing both male and female guests to enjoy an authentic sauna experience in addition to the hot springs.

Guest rooms range from Singles and Doubles to Twins, Triples, and modern Japanese-style rooms. In 2024, newly renovated Superior Comfort, Superior Double, and Superior Twin rooms were introduced. Some rooms feature raised tatami-style seating areas, three connected beds, or sofa spaces designed for families and groups of up to four guests. All rooms include free Wi-Fi, unit baths, bidet toilets, refrigerators, electric kettles, and loanable humidifiers—providing the standard amenities expected of a business hotel.

Breakfast is served in the basement restaurant “Hallel,” offering a Japanese-Western buffet built around the theme of “tasting your way through Hokkaido.” Around 60–65 dishes are available, including freshly milled Hokkaido rice, various local side dishes, cage-free eggs from contracted farms, fragrant freshly baked bread, daily sashimi and seafood bowl toppings, Hokkaido beef steak, venison curry, and more. Due to rising food costs, breakfast prices were revised in April 2024 to 1,800 yen for adults and 900 yen for elementary school students, but the abundant selection makes it ideal for guests who want a hearty start to the day.

Facilities include the natural hot spring and sauna, a restaurant, multipurpose room, coin-operated laundry, amenity station, vending machines, and VOD ticket machines. The coin laundry is available 24 hours a day—convenient for long stays. The amenity station near the front desk allows guests to pick up only what they need, such as razors, brushes, and tea, balancing convenience with environmental consideration.

The hotel offers around 100 parking spaces across indoor and outdoor lots, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Parking fees are generally 1,000–1,300 yen per night. In busy periods, guests may be directed to partner parking facilities. The multilevel parking structure has a height limit of about 1.8 meters, so large vehicles and imported cars should confirm compatibility beforehand.

Standard check-in begins at 15:00 (final check-in at 25:00), and check-out is at 11:00. Overnight guests can use the natural hot spring bath free of charge, and day-use bathing plans are also offered. The hotel provides free Wi-Fi throughout the building, along with massage services, laundry pickup, parcel shipping assistance, and loanable items such as trouser presses and irons—useful for business travelers.

The surrounding neighborhood sits just west of central Susukino, with numerous restaurants, convenience stores, and nightlife spots within walking distance. At the same time, popular attractions such as Nakajima Park, Odori Park, Sapporo TV Tower, and Nijo Market are easily reached on foot or via subway. The location works well for travelers who want to “enjoy Susukino at night and explore the city during the day.”

Overall, Natural Hot Spring Premier Hotel -CABIN- Sapporo offers a rare combination of an in-house natural hot spring, authentic sauna facilities, a Hokkaido-focused breakfast buffet, a variety of room types suitable for solo travelers to families, and a convenient location with large-scale parking. It is an excellent option for guests seeking to enjoy hot springs and saunas in the heart of Sapporo while balancing both sightseeing and business needs.
