The Essential Guide to Yokohama, Japan

"Opened in 1927, this storied waterfront hotel preserves much of its original Western-style charm—rich carpeted staircases, vintage chandeliers, and ornate moldings—while overlooking a romantic park known for rose gardens and antique wooden benches. It has hosted legendary guests across the decades and often appears in Japanese films, making it a cinematic and historic place to stay that evokes 1920s Japan." - Kim Kay

Hotel New Grand

"How did it strike you on arrival?This is like the Plaza of Yokohama: grand and rich, historic. Much of its 1927 Western-style glamour remains intact. Nice. What’s the crowd like?It's popular with cruise passengers because of its proximity to the terminal. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.There's the old hotel and a new tower (where some rooms have a harbor view). Rooms in both are fairly big, with classic, grand-old-hotel style that's charmingly old-fashioned. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?The sheets are soft but the mattress is hard. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase?The fanciest rooms have Bvlgari amenities, but all of them have whatever toiletries you might need (house-branded) and waffle-weave, cotton robes. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.Deep tubs and fancy Japanese toilets (of course). Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?Free Wi-Fi works better in some rooms than others. Room service: Worth it?The New Grand claims credit for inventing such famous yoshoku dishes (Japanese Western cooking) like doria, a Japanese gratin made with rice and a curry meat sauce, and napolitan, a riff on spaghetti with tomato sauce. You can try them in Coffee House The Cafe (whether or not you're staying in the hotel) Staff: If you could award one a trophy, who gets it, and why?They are all so helpful. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.There are several restaurants, a spa and salon—but get out and see the city; this hotel is between Chinatown and Minato Mirai. What was most memorable—or heartbreaking—about your stay?I'd always rather stay in a place thats old and grand than a contemporary hotel that's trying too hard and misses the mark. Bottom line: worth it, and why?Prices range depending on the season. If you can get a room for under 20,000JPY ($187), it's a good deal. Extras can add up, but you can bring your own coffee and eat in Chinatown." - Hannah Kirshner

From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the professionalism and warmth of the hotel staff. The room introduction was thorough and attentive, reflecting a high level of service. I am especially grateful for the wonderful room arrangement, which made my first visit to Yokohama feel truly special and memorable. Despite being a historic property, the hotel maintains excellent standards in both service and overall quality. The view from the room was truly beautiful, offering a serene atmosphere that allowed me to completely relax for the entire afternoon. The location is also ideal, with Chinatown and Yamashita Park just a short walk away. I would gladly choose to stay at this hotel again on my next visit.

This was our 6th stay at the New Grand. It's where we always begin our Japan trip and end it also. We stayed a total of 11 nights on this most recent trip. We always book a Tower Bay View room and it is just fabulous. The view during daytime is beautiful but it's breathtaking at night overlooking the harbor all lit up. We have spent many hours enjoying that view. Equally important to us is the amazing staff. To see other reviews say anything negative about staff responsiveness is quite surprising to me and I wonder if it is based on misunderstanding. The concierge service is just amazing and really made our trip extra special this time, getting us reservations in a restaurant we thought would be impossible to get. It was only through her determination that she was able to obtain them and make my birthday extra special. We will never forget her helpfulness.

The location of this hotel is excellent. There is a very nice walking area along the water. The hotel itself is looking a little tired, but that should come as not surprise considering its age. The room coffee maker is decent. The coffee is better than average. Our view was excellent and Chinatown is literally around the corner. Overall, the staff were decent, but not spectacular, as some of our other Japanese hotels have been. The TV is tiny compared to modern hotels, but how much time would you spend watching TV in your room? Breakfast is not included.

Overlooking Yokohama Bay is the historical Hotel New Grand. Historical and opulent. The Hotel New Grand is a member of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts. It is a non-franchise hotel that has played an important role in the history of Japan's hotel industry. The hotel welcomes guests in Yokohama, Japan's second largest city, which has flourished as a port city for Tokyo. Yokohama is located approximately 30 km south of Tokyo and boasts easy access not only to Japan's largest airport, Haneda Airport (Tokyo International Airport), but also to popular tourist destinations such as Kamakura, Hakone, and Mt. Fuji. Historic Building Our hotel's main building, designed by Jin Watanabe, who also designed Ginza Wako, is a prime example of a classic hotel when it opened in 1927. It has welcomed many famous people, including General MacArthur, Charlie Chaplin, and Babe Ruth. In 1992, it was designated a Yokohama City Historic Building, and in 2007, it was recognized as a Heritage Site of Industrial Modernization by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. With a European-style concept, it continues to be a beloved landmark in front of Yamashita Park in Yokohama.

Fantastic location, rich with history. The hotel is magnificent, the staff are super friendly. The room was amazing with a stunning view. The only feedback is that the quilt was annoying. The Hotel is wheelchair acessible, but our bathroom wasn't.

We are pleasantly surprised by this gem of a hotel near the harbor in Yokohama. We came here a couple times now for an anniversary getaway and also a family vacation. The hotel is old but beautiful inside and staff is always opening doors and and hauling luggage making sure everything is taken care of, especially on the first floor and a the reception.

The staff are indifferent and do not as much as bother to inquire what you are waiting for. The various bars and restaurants simply post a sign that they are full without an indication of waiting times or lists to keep some order in the chaos. Fine for a budget hotel, unacceptable for a place that markets itself as an upmarket option. Best avoided.

An absolutely amazing hotel. Even though it is an old hotel, the rooms are still immaculate and the service is 2nd to none! The location is also really good! Just 3 mins to Chinatown and about 15 mins to red brick warehouse. I’ll definitely choose this hotel again when I’m back at Yokohama!!

It is an easy walk from the cruise ship terminal so come here if you're doing an overnight in the port. Exquisite location overlooking the water ; gorgeous rooms; outstanding restaurants with exquisite service.

I heard that McArthur stayed here for honeymoon. Is it true?! I really like not the new building but the old one. They are connected eh?! Price: Expensive. Customer service: Fantastic. Parking: Garage. Valet parking. Location: Close to China town, Yamashita park, and Yokohama Tower, etc... Tip: A good picture spot is at 1 and 2nd floor in the old building. Historical. Look the details!

【Review in English & 日本語】 Established in 1926, Hotel New Grand has been one of the most popular hotels in Yokohama and has a long history. Located right across Yamashita Park. Came here after having dinner in Chinatown with my family to have some drinks and dessert. We went to the cafe. The service was excellent, everyone was very professional and extremely polite. 中華街で家族で食事後にお茶をするために寄りました。 1926年に建てられた歴史のある古いホテルですが中はとても綺麗で歴史を感じられる雰囲気や家具がとても素敵。山下公園の目の前。カフェでお茶をしましたが、従業員の方達はとても丁寧で礼儀正しく素晴らしい接客でした。

We stayed at the Hotel New Grand for 3 nights while in Yokohama. It was a very nice stay, the staff was wonderful and parking was very easy as it was virtually across the street at about $15 per day. Chinatown was nearby and we enjoyed ourselves walking around Chinatown. I loved that the shower was within the bathtub. Most of the staff were English speaking and the concierge was nice and helpful. I'd give it 4.5 Star to 5 out of 5 Star rating. I'd definitely come back again. Four family members from San Francisco

We found an amazing deal on Expedia to stay two nights at the hotel. It took about 30 minutes by taxi from Haneda airport. If you are going on a cruise or any excursions that require a cruise ship or boat I would recommend staying here overnight it is a great location and it is only a 10 minute walk just to the port. There are many train stations nearby that you can take to get you on the mainline to downtown Tokyo. This hotel also offers breakfast buffet which starts out at ¥3000. When I really like about this cute boutique hotel is that most of the rooms are a Victorian style with an old fashion key required for a room entry. Very friendly staff and what an amazing hotel that is clean and so elegant.
