Hilton Niseko
Niseko

The Hilton is Niseko's key ski-in/ski-out hotel and sits in a prime location at the foot of Annapuri mountain. You can quite literally ski right out of the front door to the adjacent gondolas and ski lifts that reach the top of the mountain in just over five minutes. From up here, an array of pistes are available in this resort as are other ski lifts to the surrounding peaks and valleys.

An open fire set in the rich red hue of the lobby creates a cosy and relaxing atmosphere to come back to after a busy day skiing. Not to mention the indoor and outdoor hot spring 'onsen' baths, which provide the ultimate après-ski detox. In our opinion, nothing beats soaking in piping warm water with steam rising up around you in the fresh air to relax your tired muscles after a day on the slopes. What’s more, the outdoor 'onsen' faces directly out onto the snowy scenic vista – bliss.

You will be spoilt for choice for cuisine here as the Hilton Niseko is home to four restaurants – Pirka (serving 'teppanyaki'), where you can watch skilled chefs fry your fine beef and seafood in front of you, Rera (serving sushi), where you can taste fresh sushi within a traditional counter seat setting, Sisam (serving traditional Japanese food), where you can dine on local dishes in a light bright dining room and Melt, Bar and Grill (serving a buffet), where you can enjoy succulent food while looking out onto magnificent views of Mt Yotei. For a drink, enjoy a cocktail in their lounge or, if you’re in need of a livelier atmosphere, Exo bar is a popular spot during the après-ski hours.

The higher room categories offer some of the best panoramic mountain views to be had, particularly of Mt Yotei which is reminiscent of the majestic Mt Fuji in its shape. The interior design is predominately Western in its style, with clear-cut lines and minimalistic design, as is typical of Hilton properties worldwide.

All in all, this is an excellent base for a few on the slopes in Niseko and is especially well suited to families. Not only is it child friendly, but it also provides many useful amenities for a range of ages. Located within the village itself, where most of the English-language restaurants and entertainment spots can be found, the Hilton is one of the top hotels in Niseko.

Client Testimonials

I barely know where to begin... though a sincere 'thank you' would be the best. You have organised this trip perfectly. May was an inspiring and delightful companion in Myanmar – thoroughly professional and friendly at the same time. My accommodation throughout has been superb, especially The Governor's Residence and The Mandarin Oriental. The view from the cottage at Inle Lake was beautiful and I loved every moment of being there. And here I am now on the last leg of this extended holiday at my favourite place. I could stay here for ever, the peace, silence and surroundings all amazing, plus the people and the whole aura of Vana. Thank you for much, and I look forward to speaking to you on my return.

So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India
We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
We really enjoyed the trip and were happy that we squeezed so much into a few short days. The Burmese people were lovely and the sites were fantastic. We really enjoyed the balloon ride and would highly suggest it to others in the future. The trip went super smoothly and a good time plus learning happened for all. Yangon was nice as the Strand was quite amazing and we of course loved the giant gold temple. Many thanks for all of your help and look forward to future travel with you.
- Wallace Family, Burma
Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
- Mr Richard Stoughton, Sri Lanka
I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
- Mr Geoffrey Johnson, India
Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.
- Carruthers family, North India
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India
Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.
- Mr & Mrs Manson, North India
We have just returned back from a wonderful trip. Thank you very much for organising everything. The transfer was excellent – for once they had perfect car seats. The villa was lovely, just what we needed and the hotel had helpfully put us as far away as possible from everyone else. The breakfast buffet was the best I have ever seen – and I am slightly obsessive over breakfast!! There was an incredible choice, something for everyone and so beautifully presented. A real highlight of the trip. Thank you again for sorting everything - and at such short notice!
- Redmayne family, Phuket
Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10
- Anonymous, India
Getting to Amanpulo from Manila was very simple and the beach was the most beautiful I’d ever been on; pristine white sand, not a single piece of rubbish in sight. You get your own solar powered golf buggy to drive around resort (and a butler at request). The views from the Hillside Casita were spectacular!
- Mr Wyburd, Philippines
Ballyfin was great - we loved it! Best things were the amount of space, it felt like you had the whole place to yourself, the history of the house, and the staff. We'd definitely recommend it. Thanks very much for all the help getting it booked!
- Mr Wyburd, Ireland
