About the property

What makes Japan Kobe Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers worth the points.

The property opened in 1992 as a full-service convention-style hotel with roughly 268-270 rooms. It features spacious, stylish accommodations offering mountain or ocean views in a waterfront island setting approximately 5 miles from central Kobe rather than central Kyoto or downtown Kobe. Signature wellness facilities include a spa with traditional onsens, wet and dry saunas, treatments, and a healing lounge, plus a state-of-the-art fitness center, indoor pool, and outdoor tennis courts. On-site parking and accessibility features are provided, along with multiple restaurants and bars. As a Marriott Bonvoy property, the hotel offers free Wi-Fi for members and combines Sheraton upper-upscale service with onsen-style wellness amenities uncommon in many urban Marriott-branded hotels.
