THE HIRAMATSU HOTELS & RESORTS ATAMI
9,3/10 Exceptional - Based on 7 reviews
The Hiramatsu Hotels & Resorts Atami occupies a hilltop overlooking Sagami Bay, presented as a gourmet auberge in a sukiya-zukuri house that blends traditional Japanese architecture with subtle European touches. The property is intentionally small — thirteen guest rooms — each designed to reveal the ocean view beyond its in-room hot-spring bath, so every accommodation functions as a ryokan with private onsen Atami. Public areas favor calm materials, timber joinery and unobstructed seascapes, creating an atmosphere of restrained elegance and quiet privacy rather than large-scale resort bustle.
Rooms range from twin and double configurations to suites, with selected second-floor accommodations offering terraces that extend the living space toward the bay. Interiors pair tatami-inspired finishes with modern conveniences such as a minibar, coffee equipment and climate control, while en-suite hot-spring tubs draw on Atami’s thermal waters for restorative soaking. Because all rooms include private bathing, the hotel operates with reservation-based dining and spa treatments, discreet reception service and minimal public circulation to preserve an intimate guest experience.
Dining centers on refined French cuisine that highlights Atami’s seafood and regional produce, served in a dining room arranged to frame sunrise and twilight over the water. A compact spa menu and wellness options support longer stays and seaside excursions; the property is positioned as a ryokan with private onsen Shizuoka, making it suitable for travelers seeking the onsen experience with contemporary comforts. Access from Tokyo is straightforward by shinkansen, enabling short stays without complicated transfers, and staff can arrange local excursions, transfers and tailored recommendations.
