The Phoenix Chalets are the perfect solution for groups of families or friends who are looking for a self-catered, luxurious home-away-from-home in Hakuba. You’ll be well looked after, too, by the knowledgeable and friendly staff.
Located in the lower part of the Lower Wadano area, these chalets feel secluded and private. Yet much of Hakuba is within walking distance – including the Happo Village center and the Lower Wadano restaurants and bars. Additionally, the hotel’s own private shuttle runs to the Happo-one Goryu ski resorts (there are two morning pick-ups and two in the afternoon). PLUS, the public shuttles for all the ski areas leave from the Tokyu Hotel just up the road.
While the word ‘chalet’ tends to conjure images of A-frame houses nestled among pine trees, the Phoenix Chalets are more like modern townhomes. This isn’t a bad thing, it’s just something to be aware of in case you were really looking forward to a European-style chalet experience.
These ‘chalets’ are only a few years old, and are furnished in a contemporary style with large smart TVs, Netflix and Bose sound docks. The rooms are spacious, and the kitchens are fully equipped – providing everything you need to make dinner for a large group.
The modern alpine style – incorporating natural finishes in wood and slate – extends throughout. In the three bedroom apartments, the bathrooms feature lovely big baths that can be used much like your own private onsen. There are also washing machines and dryers in each chalet as well as drying rooms with ski storage facilities.
