Yokohama is an easy day trip from Tokyo, but staying a night lets you enjoy the harbor lights of Minato Mirai and dinner in Chinatown without rushing back. Here are three hotels by the waterfront, from a classic hotel founded in the early Showa era to a sail-shaped landmark.
Quick answer
Want a classic hotel? Hotel New Grand faces Yamashita Park and is about 1 minute from Motomachi-Chukagai Station.
Want harbor views in Minato Mirai? InterContinental Yokohama Grand is the sail-shaped hotel on the water, about 5 minutes from Minatomirai Station.
Want a mid-range base by the Red Brick Warehouse? Navios Yokohama is about 3 minutes from Bashamichi Station.
How we chose
We have not stayed at these hotels. We chose them from official information using the criteria below, so this is a researched guide, not a review. Check current prices, reviews and room details on the booking site before you book.
We pick only a few hotels in each area. Read how we choose hotels. Each hotel below says who it suits and who should look elsewhere.
- Near Yokohama’s waterfront, within about a 5-minute walk of a Minatomirai Line station
- Open and clearly listed on official websites in October 2026
- Clear official information on location and access
- A clear reason to stay, confirmed on the official website: for example a direct station connection, a large public bath, a free airport shuttle or a landmark location
One well-known hotel, Yokohama Royal Park Hotel in Landmark Tower, is closed for renovation from March 31, 2025, with reopening planned for fiscal 2028, according to the hotel, so it is not on this list.
