The Serenity of Being Surrounded by the Sea - A Stay at InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8

When you think of "staying in Yokohama," images of the illuminated Ferris wheel, Bay Bridge, and the harbor scenery come to mind. InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8 is a hotel where you can experience all of these in a way that feels like you're enveloped by them. Located right by the harbor, quietly nestled at the end of Hammerhead, this hotel offers a unique sensation as if you are "inside the sea itself." ⸻ A Tranquil Check-In Experience for Adults The first surprise upon arrival was the serene atmosphere of the dedicated check-in lounge✨ From the lighting to the scent and even the tone of voices, everything felt soothing, naturally switching your mindset to "the extraordinary is about to begin." 😊 ⸻ Rooms Open to the Harbor, Perfect for Nighttime Contemplation The room I was guided to featured a window that offered a panoramic view of the sea and harbor scenery. As the sun gradually set and the lights of the Ferris wheel and city reflected on the water, simply sitting by the open curtains brought a sense of fulfillment✨ The night was incredibly quiet, with only the sounds of ships and a faint breeze. This hotel felt less like a place to "stay" and more like a place to "spend time." ⸻ Refined Comfort in Every Detail The guest rooms are designed with soft tones, and the bathrooms feature deep bathtubs with windows. Soaking in the bath while gazing at the harbor lights was pure bliss 🚢 Amenities are by THANN, and the linens and bathrobes are of high quality. Every detail felt thoughtfully chosen, not settling for "this will do" but rather "this is perfect." ⸻ A Beautiful Morning Starting with Breakfast Breakfast is served at the rooftop restaurant. Freshly baked bread, perfectly cooked rice, and miso soup made with carefully prepared dashi. The offerings are not overly extravagant but showcase "just the right amount of luxury" through quality ingredients and craftsmanship. Enjoying breakfast quietly while overlooking the harbor scenery felt less like a morning routine and more like a memorable experience 🥐 ⸻ A Hotel That Makes You Think, "I Can't Believe This Place Exists in Yokohama" Pier 8 is convenient for sightseeing, but more than that, it’s a place where you’ll want to "stay in the hotel." ✨ Free from noise and flashiness, it’s a hotel that allows for a "stay to rediscover yourself." Perfect for celebrating special occasions with someone or as a personal treat. It leaves a quiet lingering impression that makes you want to return. ⸻ 📎 Facility Notes - InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8 - All rooms feature terraces (except some) - Dedicated check-in lounge available - Rooftop restaurant, bar, and public bath - Nearest stations: Bashamichi Station or Minato Mirai Station (walking distance) ⸻
