【Important Announcement】We would like to inform you that ANA Crowne Plaza Kobe will undergo a façade beautification project to enhance the overall appearance of our property and improve guest experience. The construction work is scheduled to take place from 1 November 2025 to 30 September 2026.
During this period, certain areas of the hotel’s exterior will be under renovation. As a result, there may be some temporary inconveniences, including: Construction noise such as drilling at selected hours Restricted areas affecting access routes to and from the hotel and the operation of maintenance gondolas and maintenance work on the exterior balconies.
Directly connected to Shin-Kobe Shinkansen Station, ANA Crowne Plaza offers 8 dining options with views of Kobe City and Rokko Mountain. Free Wi-Fi is provided throughout the property.
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new direct shuttle bus service between Kansai International Airport(KIX) and ANA Crowne Plaza Kobe, operates two times a day, starting 19th July 2025.
The air-conditioned rooms at ANA Crowne Plaza Kobe feature a crisp modern style with bright whites and dark contrasts. A fridge, a minibar and a flat-screen satellite TV come with the room.
ANA Crowne Plaza Kobe is just 1 subway stop from Sannomiya Railway Terminal, at the heart of Kobe's exciting downtown area. Kobe Airport is 8 km away. To Kyoto it takes 30 minutes by Shinkansen train, and to Osaka only 15 minutes.
"Pros:
1. The lobby is grand and spacious, which is quite rare for hotels in Japan.
2. The location is excellent. There's a subway station right downstairs, and Shin-Kobe Station is just a 3-minute walk away, making Shinkansen access super convenient. The cable car station for Nunobiki Herb Garden is also next door, and Kitano Ijinkan (Foreigner's Residences) is only a 10-minute walk.
3. The view from the guest room window is lovely.
4. The breakfast buffet is of high quality, and there's also a Japanese set breakfast option (if you're staying only 1-2 nights, I recommend sticking to the buffet; for three nights, you might try the set meal one day).
5. The staff are well-trained and have excellent service attitudes.
Cons:
1. The guest rooms' decor and furniture are quite outdated and lack design flair. They are overly simple and plain, not matching the impressive lobby.
2. In November, there was no air conditioning in the room. The south-facing room got a lot of sun, making it very stuffy and hot. I had to keep the emergency exit open to make it more bearable.
Overall, it's still worth recommending."
