Here are a couple of minor points about this hotel:
- When I booked, I couldn't select more days because it was fully booked (understandable for such a great hotel).
- The hot tub in the room is enclosed by frosted glass, so you can't see the view of the wooded hills (only if you stand up and look over – and there's definitely something worth seeing!).
The location is excellent. It's easiest to get there from the cable car station (then it's a straight walk), but you can also come by bus (uphill, which isn't easy with luggage).
The hotel is situated in a very picturesque and quiet spot. The architecture is modern and incredibly photogenic. The common areas are beautiful and comfortable: a game room with board games, a fireplace, bookshelves filled with art books, and super comfortable armchairs. There are always drinks and sweets in the lobby.
The room was large, new, and very cozy. It was a lovely touch that they congratulated us with a card and rose petals for our honeymoon ❤️.
Everything in the room is controlled via a tablet: ordering a transfer for check-out, selecting breakfast time, etc.
Breakfast was delicious and varied with a beautiful view. Dinner came in different formats (extended, mini-version, or à la carte) – everything was very tasty!
The public onsen was empty in the evening, a wonderful experience to sit alone in an open-air hot tub with a garden view. By the way, both the rooms and the onsen have good quality toiletries.
Overall, my only regret is that I had too little time at this hotel... Photos don't do justice to how great this place is. I will definitely return if I'm ever in Hakone again.
