A new hotel is opening in Chitose, Hokkaido on June 15, 2026. Comfort Hotel Chitose will be the seventh Comfort Hotel property in Hokkaido, the 99th Comfort brand hotel in Japan, and the milestone 100th Choice brand hotel nationwide.
Reservations for the new property begin on February 19, 2026 through the hotel's official website and major booking platforms.
Prime Location in Chitose with 142 Guest Rooms
Comfort Hotel Chitose is located approximately 6 minutes on foot from JR Chitose Station's west exit, with convenient train access to the Sapporo area in about 40 minutes. The location is ideal for both business travelers and tourists exploring the region.
Chitose is known as "the gateway to Hokkaido by air," hosting New Chitose Airport, which boasts the second-highest passenger volume in Japan after Haneda Airport. The city is a major hub in the central Hokkaido region where urban functions harmonize with vast natural landscapes.
In recent years, Chitose has evolved beyond its role as an airport gateway, emerging as a cutting-edge area shaping Hokkaido's future. The construction of a next-generation semiconductor factory and the arrival of advanced semiconductor-related companies and research institutions have sparked unprecedented industrial development, positioning the entire city for new challenges.
Large-scale national-level investments are expected to drive job creation, industrial revitalization, and improvements to urban infrastructure and living environments across multiple sectors.
The city's unique appeal also lies in the coexistence of rich natural environments and urban functions. To the west, Lake Shikotsu, part of Shikotsu-Toya National Park, offers hot springs, camping, sightseeing boats, and diverse activities. Throughout the city center, attractions like the Salmon Hometown Chitose Aquarium and factory tour facilities showcase seasonal highlights year-round.
The 12-story building houses 142 guest rooms (all non-smoking) across floors 2 through 12. Room types include Double Standard, Twin Standard (2 types), and Universal Room, allowing guests to choose according to their needs. Each room type features a distinct design.
All rooms are equipped with universal outlets compatible with international visitors, and art panels made from Hokkaido-sourced wood create warm, locally-connected spaces.
The bedding includes an original "Choice Pillow" co-developed with a bedding manufacturer, a "Choice Bed Pad" that relieves pressure on the lower back and shoulders, and a "Choice Original 7 ZONE Mattress" co-developed with Serta, providing a high-quality sleep environment.
Comfort Hotel Chitose goes beyond being merely a place to stay. It's designed as a hotel where the stay itself becomes a destination, thoughtfully enhancing the beginning and end of every journey. The property pursues comfort, functionality, and reassurance for both domestic and international guests, embodying the quality and service cultivated across all Choice Hotels as the milestone 100th property.
Comfort Hotel Chitose sets a new standard for hospitality in Chitose and throughout Hokkaido.
Comfort Library Cafe Showcasing Hokkaido's Appeal
The first floor features "Comfort Library Cafe," an open space available free of charge to hotel guests.
A professional book director has curated over 300 books organized by popular themes (travel, food, drink, notable figures, culture, history, etc.) to enrich guests' journeys. Large bookshelves create unique opportunities to discover books while traveling.
The Library Cafe is equipped with free Wi-Fi and power outlets, offering diverse seating options including counter seats, booth seats, and large tables. Guests can use the space however they wish—for work, reading, or relaxation. The design incorporates art panels made from Hokkaido-sourced wood, allowing guests to enjoy a leisurely time while feeling connected to the local area.
The space can be freely used before check-in and after check-out, a distinctive Comfort Hotel service that has been well-received by guests.
Complimentary Breakfast Buffet Featuring Seasonal and Local Flavors
Comfort Hotel offers a complimentary breakfast buffet under the theme "Delicious, Hearty, Balanced Buffet," making travel mornings something to look forward to.
For mornings in Chitose's crisp air, the table features local specialty menus using regional ingredients, colorful seasonal smoothies made with fresh fruits and vegetables, and hearty daily side dishes.
Whether as fuel before work or enjoyment before sightseeing, guests can savor a morning moment that satisfies both body and mind while experiencing Hokkaido's seasons and bounty.
