Lifestyle Hotels rooted in the culture of the local community
The SAPPORO and SHIBUYA STREAM HOTELS are marking their first year by highlighting some of the ways they help guests enjoy their local communities and cultures.
When travellers invest time and money visiting far-flung destinations, they want to experience the authentic food and culture of each place they go. This is particularly true for Japan which appeals to leisure travellers seeking an experience that is very different to what they are familiar with in Europe or the USA.
This was the logic behind Tokyu Hotels’ STREAM brand – to create hotels that are a part of their community, not a world apart. The development of both hotels has been guided by the brand’s ‘Inspirational Local’ philosophy. For guests this means regional dishes and flavours in the bars and restaurants and art commissioned from local residents.
And whilst many hotels strive to keep guests in their own hotels and bars, SAPPORO STREAM HOTEL encourage guests to explore and enjoy the local area. Whether it’s special restaurants and bars not found in guidebooks, or unique music venues, SAPPORO STREAM HOTEL are in the know and happy to guide you.
Celebrating A Year of Local Discoveries
For their first anniversary SHIBUYA STREAM HOTEL has created a special culinary adventure that celebrates the attractions of their local areas. For Shibuya this includes special creations that represents “Hachiko’, the Akita Dog, famous for waiting for his owner at Shibuya Station, and Vinyl Records, one of Shibuya’s most popular attractions amongst the myriad shops. These special culinary creations and cocktails will be served from 16th January to 31st March.
In Sapporo there’s the magic of the Snow Festival to enjoy. This spectacular exhibition of snow and ice sculptures has grown massively since it first started in 1950 and now attracts large numbers of domestic and international visitors. The main festival site at Odori Park is a short walk from the hotel and stretches over a kilometre. The SAPPORO STREAM HOTEL is the perfect place for guests to immerse themselves in this winter playground. The festival is on from the 4th until the 11th of February.
