SCOUT REVIEW
Chatrium Niseko is a central Hirafu apartment hotel, and fast becoming a favorite of skiers and travelers due to its modern amenities and facilities and friendly service. It was meticulously designed with a very classy urban contemporary feel. The property was previously called Hyatt House Niseko and prior to that Shiki Niseko. Due to a change in management in 2020, the property is now called Chatrium Niseko - the offering remains unchanged however as a high-end hotel, dining, and concierge experience. As part of the management change the rooms were refurbished and the lobby updated.
Chatrium Niseko offers one, two and three-bedroom apartment-style accommodations that are simply but beautifully finished and furnished. You will be spoiled by the views through the full-length glass windows. The use of the solid Hokkaido timber throughout the apartments is an indication that everything was done with high-class materials. Grey and white finishing makes the apartments feel and look bright, breezy and airy. All the apartments have lots of storage space, and are fully equipped with modern amenities including high-speed wi-fi, 40” LCD TV with Cable Channels, Apple TVs and multi-region DVD in all living areas, and a fully-equipped kitchen where you can whip up gourmet meals. No expense was spared in the design and build of these apartments! Bedding is flexible, ideal for families of all shapes and sizes. The views from the apartments are simply awesome especially those facing Mt. Yotei and Annapuri. The Annapuri view is very breathtaking especially at night because of the night skiing activities which lights up the mountain. The apartments do get the occasional noise from the streets below (particularly for the Yotei facing apartments), which is a result of its central Hirafu location. Although it’s not located in a prime slopeside position, the private shuttle leaves every 30 minutes for the main ski drop-off points, including the gondola and ski school.
Although the hotel does not have an onsen it has on-site facilities which other hotels do not have like an ATM machine (the only one in the area), a gourmet supermarket which has many western treats (vegemite!), a Toyota car rental service, and a Rhythm rentals counter. What makes Chatrium Niseko a superb option are the dining experiences including a wonderful Green Farm Deli cafe (offering a farm-to-fork breakfast), an adults-only Western/Japanese restaurant called KITCHEN, a modern tapas-style bar, and of course, the superb Michelin Star Kamimura restaurant run by chef Yuichi Kamimura and his culinary team. Your restaurant choices for your Niseko ski trip are sorted!

Scout Booking Terms & Conditions
- Availability: Booking of all packages & accommodation is subject to availability at time of confirmation of package option by customer.
- Rate includes: All associated taxes. Some hotels charge extra fees for parking, cots, rollaways etc. Such fees can be confirmed on request based on your requirements.
- Payment Schedule:
- Deposit: 25% of the full amount is due WITHIN 7 DAYS OF CONFIRMATION to secure the booking.
- Final Balance: Invoice will be issued for the remaining balance 80 days prior to departure. PAYMENT IS DUE 70 DAYS PRIOR to departure. Failure to pay by 70 days may result in the auto-cancellation of accommodation by the accommodation provider or late payment fees.
- Bookings within 70 days: Full payment is required within 7 days to secure the booking.
- Variations: In some circumstances suppliers may have different payment policies to the above. Additionally some Early Bird deals require full payment by or soon after the book-by date. In these instances Scout will clearly communicate any variances prior to confirmation.
- Cancellation Policy:
- All deposits are non-refundable once received.
- For balance payments made within 70-45 days prior to the trip the deposit amount is non-refundable.
- No refund for total amount for cancellations 45 days or less prior to arrival and no-shows. In unexpected, unfortunate circumstances (family death etc) Scout will work to negotiate with the supplier for a full or partial refund, however this is not guaranteed. We recommend taking travel insurance to make sure you are covered. Cancelling due to weather, missed travel connections or lack of snow is not considered an unexpected circumstance and is one of the risks you must wear as part of taking a ski trip. Unless the supplier has a snow guarantee or weather cancellation policy, Scout will not refund any part of the package due to these factors.
- Variations: Please note that some hotels may have stricter policies (such as no refund within 60 days) and we are required to pass on these policies. We will communicate any varations to the above cancellation policy prior to confirmation of booking.
- Changes Policy:
- Once bookings are confirmed and deposit is paid service fees will apply for every amendment to existing elements, late final payment and travel document re-issue in addition to fees charged by suppliers
- In a few instances we purchase products through third party providers. If you change part of your package whilst at a destination, the 3rd party provider may have a different refund policy to that of the supplier in the destination. Wherever possible we will work to recover any refunds that come from a change at the destination, however it is not guaranteed.
- Surcharges: Scout does not charge any additional fees for the booking. Prices quoted are for cash (bank transfer) payments only. Credit card payments (Amex, Visa or Mastercard only) will be subject to 1.8% surcharge.
- Booking Currency: Scout will quote and charge in one currency of your choice from AUD, USD, CAD, JPY, EUR or GBP only.
- Currency Exchange Policy: If you book an international destination all remaining balances are subject to change (based on currency fluctuations) until the final payment has been processed. This can go either way (if your currency gets stronger you will be invoiced less!). We will confirm at the time of invoice what the final amount is, based on the exchange rate at that time. Should you wish to pay the balance earlier (prior to when it’s actually due) to secure that current exchange rate you are welcome to request the final invoice at any time. Once payments have been made (deposit or final balance), no refunds will be given for changes in the amount of what that payment would be, based on currency changes at any time prior to your trip.
- Travel Insurance: Once your booking is confirmed, we strongly recommend taking out travel insurance as it will often cover the cost of cancelled reservations.
