InterContinental Hotels & Resorts has this month opened a new-build 149-guest room and suite hotel in Sapporo, offering guests rich cultural discovery in one of Japan’s most captivating destinations.

InterContinental Sapporo serves as an ideal gateway for guests to connect to the cultural heartbeat of the city, set within the Nakajima Park area and moments from the vibrant Susukino entertainment district.

Occupying the 9th to 14th floors of the Lilac Square complex, the property offers city, park and river views from the upper floors along the Toyohira River.

InterContinental’s latest Japanese hotel features three distinctive restaurants, including Sawaka, an omakase-style specialty restaurant, that fuses Japanese aesthetics with global culinary technique in a Chef’s Choice course menu.

Guest amenities include a 20-metre indoor heated pool on level 9 with views across the city, as well as a 24-hour fitness centre. 

Elevating the experience is the Club InterContinental lounge located on the top floor of the hotel, offering a serene space for breakfast, evening drinks and Club InterContinental’s signature perks from private check-in to twilight refreshments.

InterContinental Sapporo joins a global portfolio of over 231 InterContinental hotels – including 10 in Japan – and a growing collection of stay experiences across IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury & lifestyle portfolio, including Six Senses, Kimpton and the recently announced Regent Karuizawa, expected to open in 2028.
