OMO5 Hakodate is a hotel located in front of Hakodate Station in Hokkaido, Japan. An existing building was rebranded, extended and renovated under the concept of 120 percent Hakodate. A large stained-glass artwork inspired by local attractions greets guests at the entrance. The public area, called OMO Base, offers several ways to spend time, such as relaxing with friends. Guest rooms feature wall illustrations of the Hakodate nightscape. The buffet restaurant has a live kitchen inspired by the star-shaped Goryokaku Fort, plus lanterns and pendant lights made from fishing nets.

We designed an exciting facility that encapsulates the essence of travel and evokes the unique spirit of Hoshino Resorts.

Inspiration
As a brand of "urban hotels that boost your travel excitement," Hoshino Resorts is expanding its "OMO" hotels across Japan. This time, an existing hotel in a prime location in front of Hakodate Station, Hokkaido, has been rebranded as an "OMO" property, with extensions and renovations. This hotel's concept of "120% Hakodate" incorporates unique local elements of Hakodate that are expressed throughout the hotel, aiming for a design that enhances the excitement of travel in true OMO style.
