The moment you step into Skye Niseko, one of the newest and luxurious establishments in Hirafu you know you have made the right decision. I had the privilege of staying in room #801, one of the penthouses called Annupuri West. It’s on the top floor with a great view of the slopes and MT Yotei which you can enjoy while relaxing in your own private onsen to watch the sunrise (definitely recommended!) or unwind after enjoying the best powder Japan can offer. Each of the 4 bedrooms being an en-suite was also great. The location of Skye meant you had the option of taking the gondola or the lifts up the mountain, which is definitely an advantage when deciding where you want to ski in the morning. The restaurant in Skye called Kumo was great too. I enjoyed the Japanese breakfast there, full of Hokkaido's best ingredients! 「スカイニセコ」のペントハウスアンヌプリウエストに宿泊。最上階にある4ベットルームの部屋のバルコニーには露天風呂があり、羊蹄山の素晴らしい眺めが楽しめました。また、羊蹄山の横からのぼる日の出を露天風呂から見るのは格別でした。 それぞれのベッドルームにはシャワールームとトイレがあり、複数の家族でも宿泊しやすい作りです。ホテルはニセコヒラフのゴンドラとリフトから近いので、その日の雪のコンディションで行く先を選べます。ホテルのレストラン「雲」の朝食では、北海道の食材が楽しめました。…
SKYE NISEKO, Annupuri West Penthouse (801). Very specifically, this site. You look down on the surrounding shopping, lift areas and slopes, and you look up at the full breadth of Mt. Yotei - and this is from the outdoor balcony naturally-fed onsen. Open planned, interior design is spectacular, bedrooms are secluded and quiet. This penthouse is the 'best of the very best'.
Location is very important when choosing a ski vacation. I think it can make or break your experience. Skye elevates it. When discussing skiing and accommodations in Niseko, it's really about Hirafu. Hirafu has the best lift system of all four resorts making up Niseko United; the fastest lift access to the peak gates, the best lift access to the other resorts, and the best in-resort off-piste skiing options. Hirafu is also where all the shops and restaurants are. Hirafu is Niseko. It's a fact. And Skye has the best location in Hirafu. In other words, Skye has the best location in all of Niseko. We stayed in one of the four penthouse suites, Annupuri West (#801). We felt doubly lucky, as what makes this suite stand out is its unobstructed views of both Mt. Yotei as well as the slopes of Hirafu. Imagine soaking in the private rotenburo (outdoor onsen) on the terrace after a full powderful day, sipping champagne and taking in the majestic Yotei sunset view. We did exactly that, and it was both relaxing and awesome! The terrace is an Instagram spot like no other for those so inclined. The inside is spacious with the open living/dining area maxed out and designed so that people who want to watch TV can do so while others who prefer hanging out can do that in another section. If you need a little space to do your own work, you can do that too without going back to your own room. Besides two sinks, one wine fridge, and all the equipment and appliances you could think of, what I really liked about the kitchen was that it had a wide selection of glasses; those for Bordeaux, for Burgundy, champagne flutes, high-balls and whiskey tumblers, and in many quantities. My friends and I had an amazing time in Niseko and Skye was a big part of that. I can't wait to go back next year.…

My friends and I booked a 2 bedroom apartment and had the most enjoyable week stay at Skye Niseko. The apartment was spacious, clean and had a great outlook straight onto the chair lifts and ski runs. Ski in/ski out made it very easy to plan our days as we could return to our room at anytime if we wanted a break. The ski equipment was great and staff were fantastic at arranging our hire for the week. Great breakfast offering which had slight changes daily. Private onsens were perfect for relaxing the muscles after a days skiing. Hotel is located in a fantastic location and is within easy walking distance to great restaurants and bars in town.
