About Sierra Resort Hotel Hakuba

Thermal waters bubble beneath snow-dusted peaks at this classic resort hotel.
Rather clever engineering has produced this architectural triumph - a contemporary mountain retreat where natural hot springs bubble up from 1,800 meters below. The proximity to the gondola is absolutely brilliant (morning lie-ins, anyone?), while the thermal waters provide that quintessentially Japanese après-ski experience. Watch the sunrise paint the peaks pink from your balcony, before wandering down to a breakfast that might have you questioning your loyalty to bacon and eggs.
From $350 per person/per night

Property details

The property

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame those magnificent peaks like a living artwork. The lobby's fireplace draws an eclectic crowd for afternoon tea and tale-swapping. Distinctly Japanese touches appear in unexpected places - from the traditional pottery in the restaurant to the meditative rock garden tucked away near the spa. The ski room's heated boot warmers are a stroke of genius.

The rooms

The minimalist design allows those mountain views to take centre stage through picture windows. Premium rooms feature private balconies perfect for morning coffee contemplation. The bathrooms deserve special mention - those clever Japanese loos with their heated seats have converted many a sceptic. Deep soaking tubs offer muscle relief after energetic days on the slopes.

Why we love it

Insiders tip

Insiders Tip

Book the private midnight onsen session - there's something rather magical about soaking in thermal waters while snowflakes dance overhead.
Something to think about

Something to think about

The thermal waters here contain a unique mineral composition that local grandmothers credit for their remarkably springy skin.
