HOTEL BIACLYN HAKODATE

The bones of this luxury boutique hotel are those of an 1908 tsarist consulate, all red brick and period detail in the Consulate Wing, with a sleek Wellness Wing bolted on alongside. Every suite comes with a private sauna, and a shared wellness space adds a jacuzzi and plunge pool. The kitchen runs from French fine dining to a sushi counter focused on local Hokkaido seafood, with a cocktail bar rounding things out.
