Hotel New

Grand

Yokohama

e love a comfortable place
to stay with a fascinating
Whistory, and the New Grand
in Yokohama certainly hit the mark for
us. Like most Japanese hotels most
of the standard rooms were modest
in size, but they were modern, clean
and comfortable and could be had for
under $100 a night. The staff is first-rate,
friendly and professional.
From many rooms, views of the
Yokohama waterfront across one of
the finest bayside parks in the world.
Exploring the hotel with its rich history
and amazing Asian art deco rooms and
staircases was an adventure. In our
mind’s eye, we half expected to turn a
corner and bump into former guests
like Charlie Chaplin, General Douglas
MacArthur, and Babe Ruth.
