Unwind Hotel & Bar Sapporo アンワインドホテル&バー札幌 札幌放鬆飯店及酒吧

UNWIND HOTEL & BAR Sapporo is a 47-room lifestyle hotel located in Minami 8-jo Nishi 5-chome, in central Sapporo. It sits between the lively Susukino district and the calmer surroundings of Nakajima Park, just a four-minute walk from Nakajima Koen Station on the Namboku Line and within walking distance of Susukino Station. Inspired by the feel of a mountain lodge, the hotel blends city convenience with the warmth and atmosphere of a rustic retreat.

Upon entering, guests are welcomed by a lounge featuring brick and wood textures, along with a wood-burning stove that enhances the lodge-like mood. Coffee from a local roastery is served in the lounge, making it an inviting place to relax after check-in or when returning from a day out. On the top floor, the BAR IGNIS and the rooftop terrace offer a unique setting where, during the warmer seasons, guests can enjoy drinks around a fire pit. On select evenings, complimentary wine service is provided, allowing visitors to enjoy a camp-like atmosphere in the heart of the city.

All guestrooms are at least 25 square meters—spacious for a city hotel in Sapporo—and are fully non-smoking. Interiors emphasize natural wood textures, warm tones, and leather L-shaped sofas for added comfort. Every room features a separated bath and toilet, giving guests a home-like sense of usability. Standard amenities include free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a safe, and an electric kettle, making the rooms suitable for both leisure and business stays.

Room types include twin, double, and king categories. Twin rooms feature two semi-double beds, double rooms include a queen bed, and king rooms offer an extra-wide 240 cm king bed. Each room includes an L-shaped sofa and comfortably accommodates one to three guests. The “Theater Twin” and “Theater King” rooms feature an EPSON projector and a 100-inch screen, allowing guests to stream movies or shows using their own subscription accounts—ideal for those who want to unwind with in-room entertainment.

The 35㎡ “Family Suite” accommodates up to six guests and includes two semi-double beds plus a bunk bed. With a small kitchen for simple cooking or reheating meals, it is well-suited for family trips or group stays. Rather than simply offering a place to sleep, these larger rooms provide the flexibility to base the entire stay around the room itself.

A unique feature of the hotel is that every guestroom includes its own toaster. Bath amenities are provided by the Provinscia line from southern France, known for its botanical extracts. Standard amenities include bath towels, face towels, slippers, toothbrushes, and more. The entire property is non-smoking, with smoking limited to designated outdoor areas.

Breakfast is delivered to the guestroom in a basket rather than served in a restaurant. The basket typically includes a daily soup made with Hokkaido ingredients, bread, and juice. Guests can toast their bread using the in-room toaster and enjoy a cozy, lodge-style breakfast at their own pace. Breakfast delivery is usually scheduled between 7:00 and 9:00, and many guests appreciate being able to enjoy their meal without stepping outside—especially during colder months.

The hotel does not offer a full-service restaurant for dinner, but light room service and drinks at the top-floor bar are available. The surrounding neighborhood offers numerous dining options including izakaya, ramen shops, cafés, and more, with staff ready to recommend local favorites. Seasonal events such as rooftop fire pit gatherings, “shime parfait” nights, and even tent sauna collaborations are occasionally held, adding an experiential element to the stay.

In terms of access, the hotel is a four-minute walk from Nakajima Koen Station and about ten minutes on foot from the Susukino area. Odori Park and the Sapporo TV Tower are just one or two subway stops away, making it convenient for sightseeing. Parking is available on a limited, first-come-first-served basis, and guests with vehicles may be directed to nearby coin-operated lots when the hotel spaces are full. As conditions and fees may change, checking the latest information on the official website is recommended for those arriving by car.

UNWIND HOTEL & BAR Sapporo is designed not for travelers seeking large facilities or public baths, but for those who value atmosphere, design, and the experience of how they spend their time. With its lodge-style lounge, in-room breakfast baskets, rooftop fire pit, and thoughtful room layouts, it’s an appealing option for couples, families, and small groups looking for a stylish and comfortable base near Nakajima Park.
