Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers - Club Premium Twin Room

Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers - Club Premium Twin Room


As you probably know, in September I went on a trip across Japan to visit many fascinating destinations and show to you as much as I can about Japan. One of these destinations was Yokohama, and since I decided to spend a few days there, I needed to find a good hotel to stay at. I chose Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers, and I have to say I was extremely satisfied with my selection. As a matter of fact, the whole hotel and my stay there exceeded my expectations. Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel is located right next to the Yokohama station, so I was extremely well connected to the whole city and the surrounding area. In this great hotel, there are so many amazing things such as restaurants, lounges, fitness room, swimming pool and so on. But of course to a guest, the most important thing in a hotel is the room in which he stays, and I have to say that my room here was outstanding.



The room in which I stayed was a Club Premium Twin Room which is located on the Sheraton Club floors of the hotel. Guests who stay at this floor have several privileges such as the ability to use the Sheraton Club Lounge and to check-in at the exclusive check-in counter located there. The room featured two separate large beds, a large bathroom and an absolutely spectacular view of the whole Yokohama area. I could even see Mount Fuji in the distance when the weather was kind and there were not many clouds.



The bathroom was one of the most impressive I ever saw in a hotel. It went along the length of the entire room and even had a small window facing the rest of the room. The bathroom has a smart Japanese toilet which even lifts its lid when you approach it and has all the standard features of other Japanese toilets. It also contains a large bathtub and a shower surrounded by glass walls. In the bathroom, there was a large number of amenities such as toothbrushes, razors, shaving foam, bath salts, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and many more toiletries.



As I already said, the room has a great view of Yokohama, and that is thanks to its two large windows that make you feel like you're flying through the air when you come close to them. The beds are also oriented so that they're facing the windows. That way you can be woken up by sunlight if you so desire. Between the two large windows, there is a big flat-screen TV so you can enjoy Japanese TV program. But even though the Japanese TV is really fun, especially if you know the language, it is a bit underwhelming compared to the amazing view of the city and I found myself watching through the window a lot more than watching on the TV.
The room has all the other furniture you would expect in a hotel such as this one. There was a large desk, a small table, a few chairs, closets, nightstands, and the rest of the usual stuff. It also included Air-Conditioning, electric kettle, minibar, refrigerator, free Wi-Fi, hairdryer, safety deposit box, coffee machine, many toiletries, and other amenities.



It was a pleasure to stay in this room and to experience this great hotel. If you plan on going to Yokohama, I suggest you consider Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel and Towers as a hotel to stay at while here, you will not be disappointed.

Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers

Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers



Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers is a luxurious hotel located in central Yokohama. I stayed in this great hotel during my trip across Japan last September. I always wanted to visit Yokohama, and when I decided that I will go there, I started looking for a nice hotel to stay at. Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel seemed like a perfect choice for me. Is located right next to Yokohama Station, so I was extremely well connected to the whole city and the surrounding area. I was so glad that after my long trip from Nagano Prefecture, I didn't need to drag my luggage far after getting off the train. Later when I was exploring Yokohama, every destination that I wanted to visit was just a short train or subway ride away from the hotel.



The building itself has 28 floors and it dominates the main area around the Yokohama station, so you cannot miss it when you exit the station. As you enter the hotel you will probably be impressed by its gigantic lobby. I was blown away when I saw it. The lobby area stretches over three floors and it is connected by wide staircases and escalators. There is a nice looking bar there where you can relax while waiting for check-in, or just drop by even if you are not staying in the hotel. For the guests of the hotel there is a special area where you can pour free beer for yourself. The whole lobby area in general looks quite luxurious and is beautifully decorated with several artworks and a huge chandelier hanging above. There are a lot of staff members in the lobby and around the check-in area, so they will be able to help you if you have any problems.



I'm sure you have all heard about the high standard of quality and service that Sheraton hotels offer, and I'm glad to say that this one is no exception to that rule. Everything from rooms and amenities, to service and other facilities, is on a high level. Across its 28 floors, Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel offers a wide variety of bar lounges and restaurants. Sheraton Club Lounge is one of those that I enjoyed a lot. It is an exclusive lounge for the Sheraton Club guests which can be accessed most of the day. It offers free breakfast in the morning, snacks and hot beverages during the day, and cocktails and other drinks in the evening. All that with an amazing view of the whole city.



Another great place where you can enjoy some good drinks and an even better view of the city is the Sky view Lounge Bar at the 28th floor of the hotel. There you can enjoy quality cocktails and other alcoholic beverages. On the same floor there is a luxurious French restaurant "Bay View" that is ideal for both romantic dinners with your partner or business meals with important clients. Along with the amazing prepared and presented "gourmet food", and a high degree of hospitality, it offers a spectacular view of the Yokohama Bay area. On the second floor, there is another restaurant which I enjoyed called buffet restaurant Compass. It offers all-day buffets and the guests of the hotel receive coupons for free breakfast there. I really enjoyed the wide variety of Western, Chinese, and Japanese dishes, particularly their are omelette and french toast. If you plan on sightseeing, I recommend that you have a large breakfast since you will need the energy to explore everything Yokohama has to offer.


But the best restaurant I went to in the Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel is a traditional Japanese restaurant Ko-No-Hana. I will talk more about this amazing restaurant in detail in another post. It is safe to say that I was absolutely amazed by the dinner I had there, and I hope I will have the chance to go there again. 


Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel also has a sports club with a gym and a pool, photo booths, shops, beauty salons, and many other facilities that make your stay there even better. I wish I had more time to stay at this hotel, and I know that when I come back to Yokohama I will definitely stay here again. I suggest that you check out their website and learn more. And if you're planning to visit Yokohama, look no further this luxurious and renown hotel.
