This was one of the best relaxation hotels that we ever stayed. Everything was beyond our expectations and indeed impressed us.
Right from check in where the staff was very friendly and helpful and patiently explaining the premises. One of them accompanied us to our room and explained everything to us on the way as well as inside the room.
The room was spacious, well equipped, and the view to the mountain was breath taking (West Building on 6th floor). The hot tub on the terrace was an amazing experience (be careful with the hot water and its temperature; 41c was set for us).
The "Free Flow" lounge was indeed fantastic including the snacks, deserts, as well as variety of drinks from ginger ale and tonic soda all the way to red/white wines, number of Japanese whisky, as well as Sake.
We put Hakone and this hotel intentionally as the last leg of our 2 week trip to Japan so that we could relax before flying back to Canada.
