Nestled in the heart of Sapporo, Hotel Sosei Sapporo – MGallery Collection transports its guests to a world where modern sophistication meets Japan's rich heritage. This newly opened hotel stands as an homage to Sapporo’s historic charm, blending contemporary luxury with traditional Japanese design to offer an unparalleled experience in one of Japan's most captivating northern cities. Established in a private residence from the pioneer district, Hotel Sosei Sapporo pays tribute to Japanese traditions, right from the entrance. This is where the hotel’s iconic object is given pride of place: a three dimensional sculpture by local artist Rie Kawakami, symbolizing wild hop (a flowering perennial plant). Here and there, the symbol of hamanasu (a Japanese rose used in perfumery) accentuates the artisanal savoir-faire. But the site particularly showcases historic breweries. In the bar, the fireplace is inspired by the curves of ancient copper beer kilns. Guests can enjoy Sapporo beer, as well as Hokkaido wines and locally brewed sake. Creating a warm ambience, the signature color palette embellishes the space with peaceful green or deep violet.
