Hotels I've stayed at many times in Yokohama | Pier Design Hotel
| Pier Design Hotel. Recently stayed at the InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8 Hotel, and the overall experience was good, but there are some areas for improvement. The hotel's location is excellent, especially the sea view rooms by the port, the scenery is indeed satisfying 🌊. The room faces the port directly, with sailboats docking at night ⛵, accompanied by the port lights, the scenery is serene and beautiful.
The room's interior design is modern and minimalist, with enough space, especially the large floor-to-ceiling windows that provide good lighting and views 🌅. The bed is fairly comfortable, but the pillows are a bit hard, not quite to my liking. The bathroom is well-equipped, but the water pressure is slightly insufficient, especially when using the shower, the water flow feels not strong enough 🚿.
Speaking of drawbacks, service quality is one of them. The attitude of the front desk reception was a bit cold 😕, seemingly lacking enthusiasm. Although the efficiency was good, the overall service experience was mediocre, lacking the kind of meticulous care that leaves a lasting impression.
The rooftop terrace of the hotel is a highlight 🏙️, where you can overlook the entire port, especially suitable for a walk and relaxation in the evening or at night. The view here is very open, making it a great place for photography and enjoying the scenery 📸.
As for transportation, the hotel is not very close to Yokohama subway station, it takes about 15-20 minutes to walk 🚶. If you have a lot of luggage or are in a hurry, you might consider taking a taxi 🚖. There are also some convenience stores and restaurants around, making life relatively convenient.
In terms of price, the sea view room is around 2000 RMB 💴, which is reasonable compared to other high-end hotels in Yokohama, but considering the cost-performance ratio of service and facilities, it is somewhat average.
Overall, the InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8 Hotel is suitable for travelers who like port scenery, especially those who have high visual experience requirements. Although there is room for improvement in service and details, it is still worth a try in terms of location and scenery. If you plan to stay, it is recommended to book early and choose a room on a higher floor to better enjoy the port scenery 🌅.

InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8
One of my top 5 favorite hotels in Japan that I've stayed at before, InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8🕊️🤍
The beautiful curved staircase at the entrance, the sophisticated design inspired by a ship's interior, the location with a panoramic view of Minato Mirai—after visiting again after a few years, this hotel is still absolutely stunning🫶🏼

InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8, an IHG Hote
#hotelreview
The room and facilities are excellent, clean and comfort. The breakfast is also delicious. Staff are helpful. I was staying on a night before Japanese public holiday, the only concern is the noise problem by the motorcycle nearby. It seems that I am watching F1 in person at night till around 3am.calm oasis in a very busy Yokohama. The size of the hotel made it feel very cozy compared to the monster hotels nearby. We will 100% return one day.

That being said, everything else about the hotel was satisfactory and the staff were very quick to assist us with baggage and taxi services. We appreciated the attention to detail in communicating our flight terminal to our driver. There are also many English speaking staff present, so for foreigners who cannot speak any Japanese, you should be able to get by okay here.It is a few minutes walk to the World Porter and Cup Noodle Museum, and there is a themed park with ferris wheel and some roller coasters. Overall it is a very pretty hotel.oberall IT awesome
