Cross Hotel Sapporo

This is a stylish tower hotel smack in-between JR Sapporo Station and Ōdōri-kōen (five minutes on foot either way). Staff uniforms look almost like they're from Star Trek, with form-fitting red and black. Rooms are fresh and big enough to move around in. There's also a steel- and glass-enclosed bath on the 18th floor with killer views from the tubs.
