Background
The Yokohama Bay Hotel Tokyu is the flagship property of The Tokyu Group, which has a presence in the segments of hospitality, real estate and construction, among others. This hotel, with 480 rooms and suites, is a business-meets-leisure property, within easy reach of the city’s main hotspots.
What’s It Like?
The hotel’s lobby, bathed in natural light, is buzzing with energy at all times of the day. Here, you will find a nice mix of families, business travellers and solo holidaymakers. The overall aesthetics of the hotel are quite subtle and understated, and instantly give you a sense of relaxation, in the urban jungle of Yokohama.
Where Is It?
The hotel is brilliantly located along the Yokohama waterfront, with easy access to the main commercial districts and tourist hotspots of the city. Pacifico Yokohama, a major MICE venue, is just across the street from the hotel.
Rooms
I stayed in a deluxe twin room, which offered me sweeping views of the Yokohama bay and skyline. The room was tastefully done with pastel tones and lush textures. The room had all the essentials necessary for a business traveller, like a spacious desk, a large TV, an armchair, tea-coffee set and an elegant bathroom. After a long day at work, I found this room to be extremely relaxing thanks to its overall layout and design.
Food and Drink
This property has some delightful F&B options. I enjoyed my breakfast at the spacious Cafe Tosca, with a massive spread of international and Japanese breakfast options, and great coffee. I even enjoyed a business lunch at their traditional Japanese restaurant Oshima, and dinner at the Chinese restaurant Tudandot.
Meetings
The hotel lends itself very well to all sorts of events and meetings. From the stately Queen’s Grand Ballroom, which can accommodate up to 1,200 people, to the smaller meeting rooms like the Pacific Room for up to 50 guests, you can choose from many options.
Leisure
The hotel boasts a beautiful indoor pool, a jacuzzi, sauna as well as other leisure facilities like a relaxing spa and beauty salon for your grooming needs.
Verdict
The ideal hotel for a business trip to Yokohama.
