Kobe Meriken Park Oriental

On Kobe’s waterfront in the city center, steps from Meriken Park and a 3-minute walk to Kobe Tower. A short stroll (0.8 mi) from Kobe Harborland and roughly 3 miles from the Port of Kobe — an urban resort hotel surrounded by the sea.

Sleek, modern rooms (323 total) with sea-facing private balconies, in-room refrigerators and minibars. Select rooms offer LCD/plasma TVs, air purifiers and extra comforts; bathrooms have shower/tub combos and complimentary toiletries. Expect spa tubs, a sauna and on-site body treatments for low-key pampering.
