Mercure Sapporo メルキュール札幌 札幌 美居 酒店

Mercure Sapporo is a four-star city hotel operated by the French Accor Hotels group, located in the heart of Sapporo’s entertainment district, Susukino. The address is Minami 4 Nishi 2–2-4, Chuo Ward. It sits just one minute on foot from Hosui-Susukino Station on the Toho Subway Line and three minutes from Susukino Station on the Namboku Line, offering easy access to two major routes as well as convenient connections toward Odori and Sapporo Station. Its location works well for both sightseeing and business trips.

The surrounding area is filled with restaurants, convenience stores, and drugstores, creating a lively nightlife atmosphere typical of Susukino. Despite this, the guest rooms are designed with enhanced soundproofing, and the hotel highlights its ability to offer a quiet environment “right in the middle of the entertainment district.” It is a fitting choice for guests who want to fully enjoy the nightlife yet return to a peaceful room for proper rest.

The hotel has 285 guest rooms, ranging from standard doubles and twins to more spacious deluxe rooms and suites. Many rooms feature Simmons beds, including queen-sized (160 cm) doubles, 42+ sqm deluxe twins, and a 52 sqm Privilege Suite. All rooms come equipped with free Wi-Fi, smart TVs, humidifying air purifiers, coffee and tea amenities, and electric kettles. Elevators to the guest floors use keycard access, providing an added layer of security.

The interior design is based on a modern European style created by a French female designer, combining calm tones with bold accent colors. Guest rooms are located on floors 5 through 12, and higher floors offer views of the Susukino intersection’s neon signs and the surrounding urban skyline. Bathrooms vary by room type, ranging from unit baths to more spacious layouts with separate washing areas in the deluxe categories.

Guests can also enjoy complimentary access to the hotel’s fitness gym, available for unlimited use during their stay. It includes essential cardio equipment such as treadmills and exercise bikes—useful for business travelers who want a quick workout or for winter visitors seeking an indoor exercise option.

The hotel’s main dining venue is Restaurant Bordeaux, a casual French restaurant featuring a bright, open space with large windows and a stylish red-accented interior. In the morning it operates as the breakfast buffet venue, offering fresh-baked bread, classic Western and Japanese dishes, seasonal specialties, and event-themed items for occasions such as Halloween, Christmas, and New Year’s.

At lunchtime, the standard style is a semi-buffet: guests choose one freshly prepared main dish while appetizers, salads, and desserts can be selected freely from the buffet. The menu is French-based with local Hokkaido ingredients and seasonal items incorporated throughout, aligning with the concept of “French cuisine at an accessible price.” Dinner service is occasionally paused depending on the season, so checking the latest hours on the official website is recommended.

Breakfast is served from 6:00 to 10:00 (last entry at 9:45). Alongside the regular buffet, the hotel offers a take-out option called “My Morning Box,” convenient for guests who are short on time or prefer dining in their room. Guests receive a box and fill it with their preferred items from the buffet—a simple, flexible breakfast style promoted on the hotel’s official site as ideal for busy travelers or those who want a private morning.

The hotel also features Bar Le Cepage, a casual spot for enjoying wine and cocktails. Recently, a limited-time “Lounge Pass” plan has been introduced, allowing guests to use the restaurant and bar as a lounge between 16:00 and 20:00, enjoying drinks while relaxing in a comfortable setting. Hours and offerings may vary, so checking in advance is advisable.

For access, the standard route from New Chitose Airport is the JR Rapid Airport train to Sapporo Station (about 40 minutes), followed by a short transfer via the Namboku or Toho Subway Line to Susukino or Hosui-Susukino Station. For drivers, the hotel connects to a Mitsui Repark parking facility, with discounts available for restaurant users. Additional partner parking options—Trust Park Susukino 5.2 and Times Susukino 4.1—are provided for overnight guests using cars or rental vehicles (details may change, so checking official information is recommended).

The location is ideal for enjoying Susukino’s famous nightlife, including food stalls, jingisukan BBQ restaurants, and seafood izakayas. At the same time, classic Sapporo attractions such as Odori Park, the Sapporo TV Tower, and the Clock Tower are easily accessible via subway. The Sapporo Beer Museum and Sapporo Dome are also reachable by public transit. For travelers who want to explore the city by day, savor Susukino’s dining scene by night, and stay in a reliable international four-star hotel, Mercure Sapporo is a highly suitable choice.
