The Westin Sendai Hotel

Sendai really experienced the beauty of urban life and nature combined this time - the hotel also chose the Westin Sendai Hotel, the biggest reason is located in the center of Sendai, whether play, eat, transportation is super convenient. If you want to chill comfortably in the city, and have a high quality accommodation experience, Westin definitely recommend! Let's talk about the location. Stay at the Westin Sendai right outside the Ichibancho business district, a few minutes walk to Sendai Station. The interior is modern and minimalist, and you feel very clean and spacious when you enter. The best part is that the room is divided into high floors, like a sky space, looking out is a sunny day view, a large area of ​​Sendai cityscape at a glance, photography check-in completely zero blind spots! In terms of amenities, the room is big enough, neatly tidied up, super comfortable bedding, and free coffee capsules, waking up in the morning to make a cup is kind of ritual! The breakfast is super surprising, whether you want Japanese or Western cuisine you will not be disappointed, there will be local specialties in Sendai, I sincerely recommend not to miss the hotel breakfast. The guests' procedures are quick, they don't drag things in, and they are convenient to go in and out all the time. When it comes to service, hotel staff are generally quite polite, but a friend of mine said she had encountered individual front desks with a laughable attitude and suggested that if they encounter problems to proactively reflect, the hotel is actually willing to assist. The overall stay was more comfortable than expected, for those who demand quality. Nearby to recommend the itinerary must go nearby, Sendai City itself has many cultural attractions and shopping areas, strolling among the high-rise buildings can always find cultural and creative shops or gourmet shops. I enjoy myself the most is walking slowly between the modern buildings during the day, feeling the rhythm of the city, taking pictures are very out of the video! Final booking tip: Hotels in Sendai will fill up quickly during peak season or festivals, and it is recommended to book 2-3 months before your trip, especially high-floor view rooms in Westin are particularly popular. Also, use the booking platform to compare different deals, and if you’re looking for comfort and city views, make sure to prioritize the Westin Sendai. Be aware that some front desks may be busy, simple and direct reflection of their needs when communicating is certainly not dead. Sendai has four distinct seasons, especially comfortable in autumn. You can visit the surrounding cities or explore the night view and food streets of Sendai in depth. The daily walk to feel the modernity and cultural integration of the city is definitely worth it! #SendaiHotel #CityWalking #BookingStrategy #WestinHotel #NortheastJapan
