Hotel Karuizawa dengan Spa

Traveling with 2 teenagers. This is not a suitable place for them. Check in at 3pm. You can check your luggage early. But, during this waiting time, you can only go for outlet shopping. Sadly, not for teenagers ! Staff are fine but quite fixed. For example, we arrived at 1030 and one teenager asked for using gym. They said no. It's his birthday, none is happy about this. At the early evening, I found you need to pay 2000 yean for each use of gym and hot spring. I feel this is silly. You are charging us anyway why not let us use and pay? Cottage: is cute and cozy but extremely oldx3. I think you can describe a vantage cottage. Clean but a bit of natural symphony from outside. Buffet dinner: selection if food was ok. Western, Chinese and Japanese. But certainly the entire area are a bit of pricy. 9000 yean plus 18% charges. If you dont have a choice , this is acceptable. Or you can choose to eat early at the outlet area. Hot spring: outdoor and indoor. Very nice setting but you pay 2000 per use. Overall, this area is pretty pricy. But if you are here to chill this should be nice but with teenagers I would say they rather live in Tokyo like a cheap hotel not this. They don't appreciate this at all. I still appreciate the service and the experience.

Arrival and Welcome Upon our arrival at the hotel, the staff immediately greeted us and efficiently handled our luggage straight from the trunk. The lobby was notably spacious, featuring a modern yet warm ambiance. To our delight, we were welcomed with delicious drinks that were perfect for the snowy day. The staff were patient and thorough as they introduced us to the hotel's facilities, making us feel truly special. Dining Experience The dinner consisted of delightful Western cuisine, with every dish tasting superb. Despite not being fluent in English, our waiter was cheerful and made every effort to engage in conversation, enhancing our dining experience. A small note for future visits: the heating was a bit strong during our meal, making it slightly uncomfortable. Breakfast was a diverse buffet with numerous healthy options—so many that we couldn't try them all! Both meals were enjoyed by a window, providing us with beautiful views of the hotel surroundings. Room and Amenities Our room was a fusion of modern design and practicality, offering ample storage and bright spaces. It was impeccably clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. We had a river view room; although the river was mostly obscured by snowy trees and had a low flow due to winter, the snowy landscape compensated beautifully. Public Onsen The hotel features a public onsen, which we unfortunately missed due to its early closing time and our own exhaustion. This was a slight disappointment as we were looking forward to experiencing it. Special Moments On our last day, when retrieving our car covered in snow, the staff offered to clear it for us. Opting to do it ourselves for the fun of the experience, the staff enthusiastically captured videos and photos, turning a simple moment into a cherished memory. We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel. The attention to detail, the proactive and friendly staff, and the overall quality of service made our visit unforgettable. I have already recommended this hotel to a friend visiting Karuizawa this summer, and we plan to return ourselves on our next trip. Rating: ★★★★★

The property is very charming and the photos shown are true to actual. Location is a bit far from the station so best to arrange the shuttle bus service or take a cab. Room is neat and cosy and the private onsen is a nice bonus. Breakfast is lovely and the fresh vegetables were amazing however the dinner was a let down as it wasn’t served in the restaurant. Instead we were provided with a voucher for redemption at the bar. The food is just average, beef was not very fresh, and your clothes and hair reek of smell after dinner as they cook the food right at the bar.

Conveniently located - close to one end of the Prince Outlet from which the Karuizawa Train Station can be easily accessed on foot. Free shuttle bus services are available as well. Room was big and comfortable.

この4−5年、毎年夏に2回は泊まっています。広大な緑の敷地の中のまさに別荘のような作りで、毎回心が癒されます。通常別荘なら食事の準備・買い物、外のレストランを予約したら車での移動（酒が飲めない）などなど面倒ですが、こちらは敷地内のイースト、ウェスト、ザプリンスの充実したレストランも施設（温泉、スパ、ジム）を使え、敷地内の移動はヴィラ宿泊客は全てワゴンを手配してくださるので至れり尽せりです。特に新設されたウェストの露天風呂は最高です。それぞれのレストランのクオリティもサービスも最高で、ハズレがありません。特にプリムローズのディナービュッフェは世界中のホテルに泊まってきましたが、これまで最高だと感じたシンガポールのリッツに匹敵するクオリティだと感じました。和食からまつの懐石も最高で毎回通っています。ヴィラ宿泊客は専用センターハウスで朝食が取れるので朝の行列ハッスルがありません。日中いつでもセンターハウスで休息して飲み物と軽食が頂けるのも本当に重宝しています（妻は昼間からシャンパンです笑）。敷地内を自転車で散策するのも気持ちいいですし、徒歩で隣接のモールにすぐ行けるのも便利です。これまで何度も軽井沢の別荘購入を検討しているのですが、その度に別荘を購入する金でプリンスヴィラに向こう10年で何泊出来るのかと、プリンスヴィラで良いと毎度妻に反対されて購入を断念しています。プリンスヴィラは別荘を競争相手に意識しているというのは大正解です。

二度目の滞在で今回は2泊しました。 1泊はファミリールームに滞在しましたが家族3人で過ごすには十分な広さで、とても快適でした。 バルコニーからは自然に囲まれたゴルフコースと浅間山を望むことができ、心が落ち着きます。 こちらのホテルは別館にある温泉が素晴らしいです。 天気の良い昼間には浅間山を見ながら湯船に浸かれてとても気持ちが良いです。 朝食ビュッフェでは感染対策がしっかりとなされていて安心して食事ができました。 フルーツジュースがおかわりするほど美味しくて好きです。 ホテルスタッフは物腰が柔らかく、すれ違う際には挨拶をしてくれる方々ばかり。 とても気持ちよく滞在することができました。

From our recent visit to the Karuizawa Marriott Hotel, we're excited to share the essence of this secluded gem. With its sprawling suites and gourmet dining options, the hotel is a sanctuary of comfort amidst the snowy splendor of Karuizawa. The experience is further elevated by the warmth of the staff and the blissful moments spent in the onsen. 😍So Good: Impeccable Cleanliness: The hotel's dedication to a pristine environment was evident and appreciated. Heartwarming Service: The staff's attentiveness and warmth made our stay delightful. Restful Onsen: The onsen provided a haven of relaxation, enhancing our retreat. Delectable Breakfast: The diverse breakfast options were a culinary delight each morning. 🙁Not So OK: Secluded Location: Its distance from the city and public transport requires some planning. Seasonal Crowds: Winter brings the beauty of snow but also high demand and prices. 👌Just OK: 👨‍🦲Zen Minimalism: The room's minimalist Zen decor may not resonate with those in search of traditional luxury. Standard Amenities: The facilities met our needs without exceeding expectations. Ski Area Access: While the hotel offers a shuttle to the ski area, there is still a walk involved to reach the ski gates, which might be a consideration for some guests. 💡 Tips and Recommendation: ♨Onsen Choices: Opt for the building with its own onsen for a private dip, or brave the open-air onsen for a magical winter experience. 🚘Transport Planning: While there's a shuttle service, having private transportation is convenient. Marriott Bonvoy Benefits: Leverage Bonvoy membership for enhanced stay experiences; it's worth signing up for. 👏Conclusion: Capturing the magic of the Karuizawa Marriott Hotel in mere words is a challenge; it's an experience that truly needs to be felt personally. It's a destination that may very well become your next must-visit retreat.

Out of the world location with breathtaking views and stark fall colours all around. Sumptuous buffet breakfast though with limited choice for an Indian vegetarian. Luxurious rooms. Lavishly furnished hot spring bath area, complimentary during stay. Free bus shuttle every few minutes to the railway station and nearby important places. On the flip side, (a) lunch buffet in the hotel's restaurant was fully booked; (b) bell service involves long wait and we had to pull our heavy strollers half a km from the room to the foyer on an inclined path carpeted all along making the task very strenuous and tiring.

We stayed at this hotel recently and really appreciated the stay. The stay actually started off bumpy with some misunderstanding of our reservation that had us cramped into a small room with no possibility of adding a roll-away. The young woman who checked us in said there was nothing she could do, so we took her for her word and proceeded to our room. When we got to our room, we realized that we would end up with a disastrous stay contrary to what we were expecting--a wonderful and serene one--as the room was way too small. When the bell person (Rajesh) brought our luggage, we informed him, that the room would not work for our family of four. Though it was not his responsibility per se, Rajesh immediately went to work to seek out any other options we could have to accompany us and, long story short, he helped us stay in a bigger room that was more appropriate--though considered a downgrade. The fact that a bell person would go out of his realm of responsibility to meet our needs was truly appreciated allowing us all to fully enjoy our stay. We ended up having dinner and breakfast at the hotel restaurant and fully appreciated the friendliness and service of the restaurant staff as well as the healthy, delicious, and local foods that were served. There is no doubt we would return to stay there again thanks to Rajesh and his excellent customer service!

This is a stunning property and all around excellent place to stay with one caveat. The amenities are excellent, the grounds tranquil and gorgeous. The library was a nice place to chill, has snacks all day, whisky an sake/champagne in the evening to enjoy a nightcap, special little treats outside in the garden etc. The onsen was magic and the nature trail to connect you to the forest and surrounding areas was delightful. The staff was incredible, attentive, and kind. Anything we needed they happily accommodated. We had a treatment at the spa And the kaiseki dinner with sake pairing which were both lovely and worth the expense. But the rooms may not live up to your expectations. We rented a junior maisonette for our family of four. While what is pictured on the website is lovely and inviting, what we got was a two story townhouse in the middle of a three-plex that felt a little old, was at the edge of the property, and faced a road that was hidden by a tall fence. Had I know this is what I was getting I would have definitely chosen differently and probably not stayed here. Because for as expensive this property is I expected the actual room to be far superior than what it was. But if you can secure one of the better rooms on the water then I say go for it.
