Hotel New Grand

We had a wonderful few days.Not only was the hospitality excellent, but everything was spotlessly clean. There wasn't a single minor disappointment—the kind we usually find somewhere at most hotels.We love classic charm but also wanted modern comfort, so we chose the new wing. And what a thrill it was to open the curtains when we arrived!With Yamashita Park's autumn roses in full bloom directly below, we enjoyed views of the Hikawa Maru, the sea, blue skies, and the moonlit night sky at different times of day.We had planned to have breakfast in our room on the second morning, but ended up returning to the breakfast venue. It was so peaceful and relaxing, without any unpleasant bustle.The main building's lobby and blue-carpeted staircase were just a short walk away, and we thoroughly enjoyed the courtyard too. Before checking out, we bought an assortment of the breads we'd enjoyed at breakfast and other treats from the hotel's affiliated bakery, then headed home feeling completely satisfied.This was one of the few hotels we would truly love to stay at again.Our heartfelt thanks to all the staff.

The room was spotless, and the amenities were excellent—just what you’d expect from the long-established Hotel New Grand. For breakfast, I considered room service but went to the restaurant for the Monte Cristo sandwich. The incredibly fluffy French toast and the savory bacon-and-cheese saltiness were outstanding. The tomato juice served with what was probably a domestically grown, unwaxed lemon was also superb. I’ll definitely be back!
