Kobe Portopia Hotel

It was very convenient to take the shuttle bus from Shin-Kobe to the Hotel. After arriving, a staff member escorted us to the club lounge, where we enjoyed delicious tea and sweets while checking in. It seems our Room was upgraded, and my wife was very happy. The view from the window was wonderful day and night, and we never got tired of it. The Room and bathroom were spacious, making our stay comfortable. The lounge’s light meals, breakfast, and drinks were more than enough for us to enjoy. We especially appreciated that Japanese dishes and traditional Japanese sweets were available. After checkout, we took a break at the lobby café and had ice cream, which was very tasty. All of the Hotel staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel very welcome. This is a Hotel we would love to visit again for another stay. Thank you very much.

First, I can’t hide my surprise and admiration that a Hotel of this scale from the Showa era is still independently run under the same management today, continuing to showcase its classic charm.\nThis Hotel still lets you experience the prestige and energy of Japan—and Kobe’s business world—back when Japan was thriving, and I especially hope younger travelers will visit.\nThe suites (though the interiors have been renovated) have a pleasantly Showa-style layout. The Room feels more spacious than the square meterage suggests, and it’s very practical to use.\nI’d like to praise it in more specific terms, but I’ll refrain here as it could cause inconvenience—please read between the lines of what I’ve written above.
