Quintessa Hotel Sapporo クインテッサホテル札幌 札幌薄野坤特薩飯店

Quintessa Hotel Sapporo is a 167-room city hotel located in Minami 8-jo Nishi 5-chome, in Sapporo’s Chūō Ward. It is a four-minute walk from Nakajima-Koen Station (Exit 2) on the Namboku Line and about eight minutes on foot from Susukino Station. Positioned between the nightlife district and the calm, green surroundings of Nakajima Park, the hotel offers a convenient base for both sightseeing and business. It is approximately eight minutes from JR Sapporo Station by taxi, and easily accessible from New Chitose Airport via airport buses or a combination of the Rapid Airport train and subway.

The interior was renovated with a “sophisticated, adult-oriented” concept, and the hotel reopened under its current brand in 2015. The entrance and lobby feature muted tones, indirect lighting, and a calm, refined atmosphere—more polished than a standard business hotel, yet practical and comfortable rather than overly luxurious. The property’s philosophy emphasizes “a new standard of quality and comfort.”

All guest rooms are 28 m² or larger, offering more space than typical business hotels. The lineup includes Superior Twin and Superior Hollywood Twin rooms (28 m²), Deluxe Twin and Superior Corner Twin rooms (35 m²), Grand Double rooms (35 m²), and larger categories such as the Grand Twin and Grand Family rooms (up to approx. 55 m²). All rooms are non-smoking and equipped with humidifying air purifiers, with many rooms renovated between 2018 and 2019.

The hotel uses Simmons mattresses in all rooms, providing generous bed sizes for both Double and Twin categories. Many rooms feature separate bath and toilet spaces, and upper-category rooms offer enhanced bathrooms with wash areas, independent shower booths, or double-sink vanities. Amenities—such as bath towels, face towels, room wear, toothbrush sets, razors, brushes, shampoo, conditioner, and body soap—are fully provided to support comfortable longer stays.

Standard in-room equipment includes LCD TVs (primarily 26-inch Sony BRAVIA models), electric kettles, mini refrigerators, toilets with bidet seats, individual climate control, and high-speed Wi-Fi and wired LAN. Power outlets are located near the bed for easy device charging, and desks and nightstands provide sufficient workspace for those traveling with laptops or working remotely.

Breakfast is served as a buffet in the first-floor restaurant, featuring around 80 dishes. Offerings include Hokkaido-grown “Fukkurinko” rice, local vegetables, Western and Japanese classics, and regional specialties such as Sapporo soup curry, zangi fried chicken, seafood dishes, and more. Guests can assemble their plates to preference, and the buffet is designed with “healthy, natural food” in mind—making it suitable for both weekday business travelers and weekend vacationers.

The hotel also features a restaurant, vending machines, an ice machine, and a coin laundry. Parking is available on-site, with approximately 100 spaces across a multi-story and flat parking area (¥1,800 per night, first-come, first-served, no reservations). Nearby paid lots are available when the hotel lot is full, and motorcycles can be accommodated for an additional fee.

Check-in is available from 14:00 to 26:00, and check-out is until 11:00. In addition to standard services such as luggage storage, taxi arrangements, courier handling, and dry cleaning requests, the front desk provides local area brochures—useful for planning walks through Nakajima Park or exploring the Susukino area.

The hotel is surrounded by convenience stores and restaurants, with venues such as Zepp Sapporo and Nakajima Park Hall within easy walking distance. Guests can enjoy Susukino’s dining and nightlife in the evening, then quickly reach Odori Park or Sapporo Station during the day. It is a practical location for those who want to balance city exploration, dining, and business activities.

Overall, Quintessa Hotel Sapporo stands out with its four-minute walk to Nakajima-Koen Station, spacious 28 m²+ non-smoking rooms, Simmons beds with humidifying air purifiers, an 80-item breakfast buffet featuring Hokkaido ingredients, and a 100-car on-site parking facility. For travelers who want a bit more space and comfort than a typical business hotel—without sacrificing convenience—this property is an excellent option in central Sapporo.
