Revisiting Hotel New Grand Yokohama, a place you'll want to stay at once
A classic hotel with an exotic atmosphere that opened in the port city of Yokohama in 1927 .
Hotel New Grand is known for having been the lodging of famous people such as General MacArthur, Charlie Chaplin, and Babe Ruth .
Don't miss the grand staircase, which is a symbol of the main building, and the classical courtyard and patio, which are beautifully lit up at night.
In addition, you can enjoy dishes that originated at the New Grand Hotel, such as "Seafood Doria," "Spaghetti Napolitan," and "Pudding a la Mode" ( The cafe on the first floor is also one of the things to look forward to.
This time, I booked a single-bathroom (single) room in the main building, a 16-square-meter non-smoking room, for 12,250 yen (after Ikyu instant discount).
1. Access from the station

From Motomachi-Chukagai Station on the Minatomirai Line,

2. Hotel New Grand
The neon lights at the Hotel New Grand main building were not lit due to construction work.
This is the entrance to the new building. Guests staying in the main building also check in at the new building.

The new building is connected to the main building by a passageway inside the building.
The staircase in the main building. I was mesmerized.

Space at the back of the lobby
Elevator. Guest rooms in the main building are on the 3rd and 4th floors.
A passageway inside the main building.
It seems that you can also stay overnight in the MacArthur Suite on the ocean side of the 3rd floor.
Actually, this was my second time staying here, and I stayed in the same room as last time.
Floor map. The right side is the ocean side. The view from the rooms facing the courtyard might be nice.
From the room entrance
The desk is small 😥
Tiger's Pot
illy coffee 😊
There was also a mineral service 😊
A cup on the TV stand
Open the bottom to find glasses and a refrigerator
There are also drinks that cost extra: beer was 700 yen, tea was 450 yen, and juice was 1,500 yen.
Near the room entrance
The bed is pushed into a recess and feels a bit cramped. It is 135cm wide.
Closet. There's a safe underneath. Is it inconveniently located?
Separate loungewear 😊
Check the plumbing
bathtub
Disposable toilet seat covers
Wall-mounted hair dryer. The filter was difficult to replace, so it had a strange smell.
We recommend using this
Amenities. In addition to the basic set, there was an argan oil hair growth serum and a Sekkisei skin care set.
The view from the window shows the Gate Hotel next door, which opened in February 2025. You can just make out the Bay Bridge through the gap.
3. Breakfast

Overall ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
I was surprised to hear the sound of an electric drill just after 10pm. I called the front desk and reported the noise.
It's a fairly old building so I understand that maintenance is difficult, but I wish they would refrain from working at night.
I got a pudding a la mode with the 1,000 yen coupon I received as an Ikyu Diamond perk, and I was very satisfied. I'll save the doria and Neapolitan for next time.
😄 The lobby space on the second floor is a great place to relax even if you don't have any particular business.😄 I got a great deal on a pudding à la mode using a meal voucher.😄 The courtyard was well-lit up and a sight to behold.😄 The staff were courteous and helpful.😄 Separate loungewear.
😢 I had trouble falling asleep due to the maintenance work at night 😢 Maybe because it was a single room? It's a shame there was no view 😢 The lobby on the second floor After 6pm it becomes a gathering place for party groups.
