Unveiling Sapporo's Randor Hotel Heritage
Excitement brews as the Randor Hotel Heritage is set to open its doors on June 26, 2026, in the lively Susukino district of Sapporo. Developed by Escon, the hotel will replace the iconic KING∞XMHU, a prominent dance club that shaped the nightlife culture since its opening in 1991. This initiative not only marks a new beginning but also serves as a tribute to the memories associated with this beloved venue.
A Tribute to the Past
The KING∞XMHU was a landmark in Sapporo, adorned with its stunning ancient-inspired architecture and interior design that reflected the vibrant energy of the era. Closing its doors in May 2023, the club left behind countless memories for the local community. The Randor Hotel Heritage aims to preserve this rich history while catering to the evolving needs of tourists and locals alike, promising a unique overlay of history and modernity.
Escon's vision for the new hotel extends beyond mere aesthetics. The hotel will embrace the theme "SUSUKINO - MIX," encapsulating three distinct historical periods of the area through immersive design. Elements from the past will be thoughtfully integrated, allowing guests to engage holistically with the site’s legacy, not simply as passive observers.
Innovative Design Elements
The indoor layout of the hotel harnesses original materials from KING∞XMHU, ensuring that guests can truly feel the essence of the past. The design’s three facets include:
1. Timeless Japanese modernism reflective of Sapporo's dawn.
2. A naturalistic perspective celebrating the local environment and materials from the settling period of Sapporo.
3. An artistic realization of the KING∞XMHU history featuring reimagined Mexican motifs and relics.
These ingredients combine to create a distinctive atmosphere filled with pleasant contrasts, ultimately elevating the guest experience to something unparalleled.
A Welcoming Environment
The entrance will welcome guests with its unique design, including a whimsical "pouch object" that draws onlookers in with a glimpse of the iconic club’s façade. Inside, visitors will encounter interactive experiences such as a light-up stone slab that showcases photographs from the club's glory days. This narrative-driven approach aims to bridge history with an engaging experience, letting guests rediscover a slice of Sapporo's nightlife heritage.
Comfortable Accommodations
Randor Hotel Heritage comprises 125 spacious rooms, with 90% designed to accommodate groups of 4-5 people comfortably. Each room comes equipped with full kitchen facilities, large baths, and laundry options, making it ideal for long stays, especially for inbound tourists. For those seeking luxury, three premium rooms, each over 100 square meters, offer high-end amenities that can cater to larger groups in a lavish setting.
Operational Excellence
The hotel will be managed by Satisfill, a company dedicated to enhancing the quality of everyday life through innovative hospitality solutions. With its flagship business,
