French-made Citadines Hotel opened in Yokohama in June 2023

Citadines Harbourfront Yokohama

Citadines Harbourfront Yokohama opened in Yokohama in June 2023.

Citadines, which originated in France , became a subsidiary of the Singapore-based Ascott Hotel Group in 2004, and this is its fifth property in Japan, following two in Kyoto, Osaka Namba, and Tokyo Shinjuku.

The nearest station is Nihon-odori Station on the Minatomirai Line, which is directly connected to the hotel!

I stayed overnight with plans to go for a morning run at nearby Yamashita Park.

1. Access from the station

  • Exit the ticket gate at Nihon-Odori Station on the Minatomirai Line and turn right. Take the elevator at Osanbashi Pier (Exit 4) to ground level.

Route 1


    • Go straight through the underground passage towards Exit 4.

              • The front desk is Western-style, surrounded by brick (patterned?) walls and a high ceiling. Perhaps because it has only just opened (although it has only been about three months), the receptionist checked in while checking in with a trainer from another overseas store.

              I was lucky enough to get the ocean view room I had requested in advance, so I'm grateful!

                                      Until the end of October 2023, we were able to stay at a special rate during the newly opened period, and we were lucky enough to get a room with an ocean view, so we were very satisfied. The weather was great, so we were able to go for a pleasant early morning jog (although we got lost!)
