Luxury Hotels in Kobe

The price is high, but you can expect a lot. The hotel rooms were great. You could choose if you prefer to sleep in big comfy western beds or prefered a Japanese futon instead (there were two rooms, so enough space to get the futons out). Maybe prepare a bit in advance, so that you know what´s going on, because the English introduction at reception is a bit shorter than the Japanese one, but the staff is always really helpful and can answer your questions. Breakfast and diner were both included and were fantastic. The sushi cook in the evening was so helpful and we tried 2-3 different sort of fish we never had before. And all the other dishes were great, too. Don´t forget to stop in time, so that there is still room for dessert ;o) The onsen on the roof is wonderful. You have an excellent night view and can see the beautiful harbour area. There is an onsen for women and one for men. First there is a big room where you undress and put your clothes in little baskets. Then there is a shower room followed by a pool, a whirlpool and the lovely onsen. And if you want to spend around 200 Yen extra, don´t forget to visit the room with the massage chairs. They are amazing.

Excellent meals (dinner, breakfast, and afternoon snack) Very warm and helpful room attendant - wonderful service. Although she did not speak fluent English, she definitely tried her best and we both used Google translate pretty effectively Room was mix of modern and traditional, very beautiful (rooms in the East Wing have been recently renovated) Onsen facilities nice - particularly enjoyed the outdoor bath Nice indoor bath in the room Walking distance from town

Perfect place for large families.

Beautifully designed home and impeccably clean! Appreciated the large size and multiple rooms which accommodated our family well.
