This time, we will be holding a Christmas market event, “UNWIND CHRISTMAS MARKET,” with the hope that local guests, not just those staying overnight, can casually enjoy our hotel, which is designated as a historic building. During the event period, a total of 8 popular stores with shops and ateliers in Otaru and Yoichi will gather at UNWIND HOTEL & BAR Otaru. You can pick up sweets and miscellaneous goods that are made with carefully selected ingredients such as Hokkaido fruits and vegetables, vegan sweets, and
one-of-a-kind Christmas goods made by artists. The venue is the hotel restaurant “The Ball Otaru,” which is usually a breakfast and dinner venue. In our hotel’s fantastic space, where history and modernity are beautifully fused, the Art Deco style that has been passed down from the beginning of the building, such as round-shaped windows and stained glass, remains, and you can find Christmas gifts to give to your lover, friends, and family, or the things you’ve worked hard on this year. Please feel free to stop by to treat yourself.

While retaining the historic atmosphere and architectural beauty of the building, a boutique hotel with a modern sensibility has been created through bold renovations, which could be expected from the fact that it had been closed for a long time.
