New Luxury Hotel InterContinental Sapporo Opens on October 1, 2025
On October 1, 2025, the InterContinental Sapporo will officially open its doors in Nakajima Park, Sapporo. This momentous event, marking the debut of the InterContinental brand in Hokkaido, was welcomed with a grand opening ceremony attended by IHG Hotels & Resorts executives and local dignitaries, including the Mayor of Sapporo, Katsuhiro Akimoto.
The hotel is nestled within the "Lilac Square," part of Sapporo's new MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) facilities. It represents a significant addition to the hospitality landscape of Sapporo, reflecting the city's commitment to welcoming business and leisure travelers alike. As the latest hotel in the InterContinental portfolio, it adds to the group’s impressive global presence, which spans over 70 countries.
The InterContinental Sapporo stands out as the 11th hotel in Japan and the first in Hokkaido, enriching the region's luxury offerings. The hotel promises guests a unique blend of elegance, personalized service, and rich cultural experiences, facilitated by their renowned concierge team. This opening aligns perfectly with Hokkaido's natural beauty and cultural richness, aiming to provide guests with unforgettable stays.
Benjamain Leitgeb, the hotel's portfolio general manager, with extensive experience in luxury hospitality from renowned establishments like Hyatt and Mandarin Oriental Tokyo, is eager to lead the team at this new landmark. "The opening of InterContinental Sapporo signifies the arrival of a new luxury hospitality style in Sapporo," he stated. Leitgeb's vision for the hotel is not merely to be a transient space but to become a part of the community, where guests can celebrate special moments or find a serene escape from daily life.
With 149 guest rooms including 13 luxurious suites, the InterContinental Sapporo will showcase Hokkaido's culinary delights through its dining options, including a specialty restaurant and all-day dining venues. The setting will also feature an exclusive lounge on the top floor, along with a wellness center equipped with an indoor heated pool and fitness gym.
The hotel’s design merges modern luxury with the charm of Hokkaido’s landscape, ensuring a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere for all visitors.
In addition to its stunning offerings, the InterContinental Sapporo is poised to play a pivotal role in Sapporo's growth as a premier destination for tourism and business, reinforcing the city’s efforts to enhance its appeal on the global stage.
