Where Sapporo Comes Alive: Holiday Inn Express Opens in Susukino
The brand’s first hotel in Hokkaido brings its smart, next-generation design to Japan for the first time, in the heart of Sapporo’s most vibrant district.
First in Hokkaido:
Marks the brand’s debut in the region and only the second Holiday Inn Express in Japan.
Prime Location:
Right in Susukino, Sapporo’s bustling entertainment and dining district — steps from Ramen Alley, Susukino Intersection, and close to Odori Park, Nijo Market, and the Clock Tower.
Gen 5 Design:
Japan’s first Holiday Inn Express to feature the brand’s new design concept, with flexible spaces and the Express Café at its heart.
Smart Essentials:
223 rooms with modern comfort, free high-speed Wi-Fi, complimentary Express Start™ Breakfast, fitness centre, and self-service laundry.
Why It Stands Out
- Gateway to Hokkaido: Perfect base for exploring Sapporo’s food scene, nightlife, and seasonal highlights — from winter powder snow to summer green escapes.
- Guest Experience: Focused on “smart simplicity” — everything you need, nothing you don’t.
This opening strengthens IHG’s footprint in Japan while giving travelers a reliable, modern option in one of the country’s most energetic neighborhoods.
