Scout tips
- Not true ski-in ski-out — about a 5–10 minute walk or short shuttle to the lifts.
- Book early in peak season — the larger apartments sell out fast.
- Underground parking is limited; reserve ahead if driving.
- Great for longer stays thanks to full in-room facilities.
- Rooms on higher floors offer better Mount Yotei views.
SCOUT REVIEW
Chatrium Niseko is a polished, apartment-style hotel that blends urban sophistication with mountain comfort, perfectly suiting travelers who want style and convenience in the heart of Niseko. Located in Upper Hirafu Village, the hotel places guests within easy reach of Niseko’s renowned powder, dining, and nightlife. While not directly ski-in ski-out, it’s only a short stroll or shuttle ride to the Ace Family Lift, making ski access quick and painless.
Inside, Chatrium Niseko feels more like a premium residence than a hotel. Spacious studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments feature full kitchens, laundry machines, and open-plan living areas — ideal for families or groups who like to settle in for an extended stay. The interiors are modern and refined, with natural tones, minimalist furnishings, and large windows that flood the space with light and views of Mount Yotei or the snowy village.
Guests can enjoy The Grill by Odin for upscale dining and après drinks, or grab a coffee at the in-house café before heading out to the slopes. The property also houses ski rental and storage facilities, a fitness room, and a 24-hour concierge who can arrange lessons, lift passes, and transfers.
Chatrium Niseko captures the perfect balance of independence and service — offering the comforts of home with the luxury touches of a boutique hotel. Whether you’re here for deep-powder mornings or cozy nights in, it’s an ideal base for enjoying the best of Niseko.
