Hotel New Grand

Yokohama


Dating from 1927, the New Grand has a prime waterfront location and elegant old-world charm, particularly in its original lobby and lavishly decorated ballrooms. It was once a favourite of visiting foreign dignitaries such as General McArthur and Charlie Chaplin. Note though that most rooms are housed in a modern tower annex, trading heritage atmosphere for bay views.
