Hotel Alp

Perfectly located for skiers, Hotel Alp offers affordable accommodation right in the heart of the action. The rooms are comfortable and cosy, and the hotel offers both western and Japanese style rooms as well as one singular spacious mixed-style room. Each room is fitted with essential amenities as well as storage space, and while some say the room décor is dated, it also adds plenty of character. The hotel's European appearance is deliberate - built to be reminiscent of ski lodges on the other side of the planet - but the hospitality and service is definitely Japanese. Many of the staff speak fluent English, and they're all willing to assist guests with travel plans, reservations and adventures around the area. Although, you might want to just take advantage of the ski-in-ski-out location and spend your holiday in the snow - and the hotel's offering of ski storage and drying rooms as well as laundry facilities will make that even easier. Hotel Alp also houses a small restaurant, serving breakfast and, with a reservation, dinner daily. There are some western options on the table for breakfast, but the dinner options are traditional Japanese cuisine prepared with fresh vegetables and plenty of seafood. The dining hall is only one of the large communal spaces offered to guests - there is a lobby lounge as well as lounges throughout the hotel, meaning all guests get a change to get to know one another. The onsens at Hotel Alp aren't extravagant, but are perfectly situated for unwinding and relaxing. There are both indoor and outdoor onsens, both featuring incredible views of the landscape through large windows and both naturally mineralized to provide a soothing and possibly healing experience. The rooms are also privy to these beautiful views - in summer the greenery comes out and in winter you get to watch the snowfall cover the landscape. Either way, you'll be mesmerized by the beauty of Myoko.
