Hotel Plaza Kobe

The property feels a bit dated, but it was very clean and we had a comfortable stay. We were visiting for an anniversary, and we were delighted to find a celebratory message card prepared on the table in our room—such thoughtful hospitality. The breakfast buffet offered an excellent variety, including many local dishes made with ingredients from Hyogo, and we enjoyed a delicious meal from the morning.We came by direct bus from Sannomiya to Rokko Island. The most convenient stop is not “Sheraton-mae,” but the next stop, which is right in front of the hotel (a fellow passenger kindly told us). We had originally planned to take the train and then transfer to the Rokko Liner, but taking the bus was easier with no transfers.

We were fortunate to have great weather, and we were soothed by the view from the window in our high-floor Room with a wonderful outlook.The Room was clean, the amenities were well stocked, and the staff were kind, so we had a very comfortable stay.We also enjoyed the projection mapping displayed on the Hotel’s exterior.
