Experience of the stay
I enjoyed a solo hotel stay as a "mom's summer vacation".
When you think of Yokohama, the half-moon-shaped InterContinental is famous, but this is another relatively new InterContinental. Located in Hammerhead, it's attractive for being able to enjoy a Yokohama-like experience while relaxing inside the hotel and surrounding facilities.
I booked a room with a view of Minato Mirai. The spacious room with large windows was extremely comfortable. This hotel makes you want to spend your time there.
The soft drinks in the refrigerator are free, so you won’t run out of drinks during your stay. However, if you enjoy alcohol, I recommend the 7-Eleven on the first floor of Hammerhead! It has a wide variety of craft beers from around the country and the world, making it a fun store that's quite different from a regular convenience store.
The hotel also has a rooftop terrace, which seems like a great place to enjoy a drink while chatting. Although my solo hotel stay was luxurious and very fulfilling, I think it's also nice to share fun moments with someone else while relaxing in your own way!
Experiences during the trip
Since it was a rare opportunity for a solo hotel stay, I decided to use the hotel bar for the first time. Although I was a bit nervous, I was guided to a table instead of the counter, which made for a more restaurant-like experience.
On the first day, I went shopping at Shougakucho shopping mall, and on the second morning, I took a stroll to Yamashita Park and Osanbashi. After walking for about an hour, I enjoyed breakfast at a cafe. Recently, hotel breakfast feels heavy to me (maybe I just tend to eat too much because I want to make the most of it), so I often skip breakfast, but on weekends, the shops at Red Brick Warehouse open early, making breakfast outside the hotel a nice option!
