Hotel Sosei Sapporo, MGallery Collection ホテル創成札幌 Mギャラリーコレクション 札幌創成美憬閣酒店

Hotel Sosei Sapporo, MGallery Collection is located in the West Building of the Sapporo Factory complex at Kita 2-jo Higashi 3-chome, Chuo Ward, Sapporo. It opened in January 2024 as part of Accor’s boutique brand MGallery, in a building used since its predecessor hotel opened in April 1993.

JR Sapporo Station is about five minutes by car or 15 minutes on foot, and Bus Center-mae Station on the Tozai subway line is nearby. From Sapporo Station, the Hokkaido Chuo Bus to the Sapporo Factory-mae stop leaves guests a one-minute walk from the hotel. New Chitose Airport is about 45 minutes away by car and Sapporo Okadama Airport about 15 minutes. Paid parking is available per night with no reservation needed.

The theme is “a mansion from the Hokkaido Development Commission era, reborn for the 21st century.” Drawing on the style of those mansions, which combined Western reception rooms with Japanese living quarters, the hotel blends Japanese and Western design. It stands on the site where the Kaitakushi Brewery was founded in 1876, and tributes to Sapporo’s brewing history appear throughout.

There are 118 rooms, including Superior, Deluxe, Heritage View and Executive types and the Hamanasu Suite. Rooms come in green or purple color schemes, with wallpaper depicting Hokkaido’s plants and animals, and Heritage View rooms overlook the red-brick brewery buildings and chimney. Guests in Executive rooms and the Hamanasu Suite enjoy privileges including breakfast, refreshments and cocktail time.

The ground-floor restaurant Barley Grill & Bar, with interiors inspired by the German breweries where Seibei Nakagawa, Japan’s first brewing engineer, learned his craft, combines Hokkaido ingredients with international ideas and has an outdoor garden terrace. The bar lounge centers on a fireplace modeled on a copper brewing kettle and serves signature cocktails inspired by Sapporo beer and Hokkaido haskap wine.

Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is at 11:00.

Set on the very spot where Sapporo’s beer history began, Hotel Sosei Sapporo offers a boutique stay themed on a pioneer-era mansion, close to Odori Park, the TV Tower and the Sapporo Beer Museum.
