More information on Hotel Okura Kobe
This majestic 35-story hotel has the prestige of the Okura name, as well as a grand location right beside Meriken Park and the Port Tower; it's within easy walking distance of the Motomachi covered shopping arcade and Chinatown. Its inviting lobby has views of a small garden (the only hotel garden in downtown Kobe) against a backdrop formed by the Maritime Museum and the port. Each elegantly appointed room has all the comforts you'd expect of a first-class hotel, plus the bonus of great views from its more expensive rooms, which are on higher floors facing the harbor or the city with Mount Rokko rising behind it. Rooms on the 27th floor also offer high-speed Internet connection. In short, this hotel appeals to everyone from families -- its target customer -- to business travelers. Even the imperial family makes this their home base when in Kobe. Tip: Upon check-in, ask for immediate free membership in the Okura Club International, which allows late checkout, free use of the health club and both outdoor and indoor pools, and other privileges. Facilities: 5 restaurants; bar; 2 lounges; outdoor pool (free with membership); health club with gym, sauna, and heated indoor lap pool (free with membership); 2 lit outdoor tennis courts; children's day-care center (fee: ¥5,000/$42 for 2 hr.; reservations necessary 5 days in advance); concierge; tour desk; business center; shopping arcade; salon; room service (6am-midnight); in-room massage; same-day laundry/dry-cleaning service; nonsmoking rooms.
