Mitsui Garden Hotel Okayama

Okayama City

Re-opening on August 9th 2026

A reliable, well-run business hotel two minutes on foot from JR Okayama Station, the Mitsui Garden sits squarely in the practical-but-pleasant sweet spot. Rooms are tidy and comfortable — Serta mattresses, in-room baths, free Wi-Fi — and the buffet breakfast pulls in a solid spread of Japanese and Western options to fuel a full day out.


The standout is the large public bath on the 10th floor: a hinoki cypress tub overlooking a small garden, open from 15:00 through to 9am. It's not a hot spring, but after a day on Naoshima or trawling Kurashiki's canal district, it does the job beautifully.

Hotel Puerta del Sur

Los Ríos

From $180 per person/night

Set on ten hectares of Isla Teja, right on the banks of the Río Cruces wetlands and neighbouring the Carlos Anwandter Nature Sanctuary, this recently renovated hotel offers something genuinely rare: luxury accommodation with direct access to one of South America's most important bird habitats. From the private dock, you can kayak or SUP through channels where black-necked swans, wild ducks, and countless migratory species go about their business largely unbothered by the outside world. The Valdivian Temperate Rainforest surrounding the property is one of only 34 global biodiversity hotspots – a rather grand claim, but one that becomes immediately believable when you start exploring the ancient trees and lush greenery of the hotel's own grounds.
