Viewing the façade of the Windsor Hotel in Toya might bring to mind an airport terminal but don’t let that put you off – this hotel belongs to the Leading Hotels of the World list and enjoyed a large-scale makeover in 2003. But turn away from the hotel front and you can be in doubt where you are once you’re confronted with the spectacular landscape of the northern peninsula of Japan, Lake Toya and the expanse of Pacific Ocean. Summer sports here tend to be golf and tennis, in winter it’s skiing and thermal baths in the hotel’s excellent spa complex. The spectacular hotel complex boasts 405 rooms including a 230m2 Presidential Suite, features it’s own chapel and has a friendly and professional international staff who provide a premium level of discreet service. Internationally renowned French 3-Star Chef Michal Bras is Chef de Cuisine and his team are responsible for providing all manner of pan-Asian delights in the restaurant. If you never associated skiing vacations with Japan then book a break at the Windsor and discover how wrong you were!
