Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) announced today that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement with Heiwa Real Estate Co. Ltd., for a new Park Hyatt hotel in Sapporo.
Scheduled to open in 2029, the hotel will be situated in the economic and cultural center of the Hokkaido Prefecture in northern Japan.
It will be the fourth Park Hyatt branded hotel in the country and will complement the award-winning Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono, a luxury mountain retreat located in Hokkaido’s leading ski resort.
The hotel will be conveniently located in a mixed-used tower under development at the intersection of the famed Odori Park and bustling Sapporo Ekimae-dori, the city’s main commercial and business thoroughfare.
Spanning the 27th through 35th floors, it offers magnificent views of the park and city. The building will be designed by celebrated architect Kengo Kuma, who is renowned for his innovative ability to blend architecture and the natural world. Park Hyatt Sapporo will offer 157 luxurious rooms and suites, world-class culinary and wellness experiences, an indoor swimming pool and inspiring spaces for meetings and events.

Japan’s northernmost island of Hokkaido is known for rugged wildernesses, superb powder snow, sumptuous seafood, intriguing indigenous culture and more. The city is easily accessible by 90-minute flights from Tokyo, and eventually by high-speed rail when the Bullet Train extends to Sapporo in the early 2030s.
As Japan’s fifth-largest city, Sapporo itself has become a favored destination. Tanuki Koji shopping street and the Susukino entertainment district bustle with tourists year-round, while Sapporo’s iconic winter landscape has been named one of Japan's top sights to behold.
“Park Hyatt Sapporo is our second collaboration with Heiwa Real Estate, after Caption by Hyatt Kabutocho Tokyo, which is set to open in 2025,” said David Udell, group president, Asia Pacific, Hyatt.
“We sincerely appreciate their confidence in Hyatt, and we are honored to join with them in elevating the luxury offerings in this dynamic city. We are excited to be part of the ongoing transformation of Sapporo, as more discerning business and leisure travelers, including World of Hyatt members, head north to discover Hokkaido.”
“With a superb location in central Sapporo, Park Hyatt Sapporo will become a luxury home-away-from-home for those looking to experience Sapporo's rich selection of attractions,” said Kiyoyuki Tsuchimoto, representative executive officer, president and chief executive officer of Heiwa Real Estate.
“This development project is the starting point of our new growth strategy, as we contribute to Sapporo's evolving stature as one of Japan’s leading cities. We are confident that our collaboration with Hyatt will be another highly successful one.”
Park Hyatt Sapporo will join Hyatt’s growing Japan portfolio of 21 hotels encompassing nine brands, including Andaz, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Place, Hyatt House, Caption by Hyatt, and The Unbound Collection by Hyatt. Hyatt is steadily increasing its brand presence in Hokkaido with Park Hyatt Hanazono which opened in early 2020, as well as the vibrant Hyatt Centric brand, which is set to debut in Sapporo in 2026.
The term “Hyatt” is used in this release for convenience to refer to Hyatt Hotels Corporation and/or one or more of its affiliates.
