SOKI ATAMI

The hotel has a very relaxed and calm vibe which we welcomed. It is set in a quiet neighbourhood so the views are ok but more residential, however we could see the water far ahead of us and the hills to the side of us each morning and it was nice seeing the mist and clouds up high, along with the lush surroundings. We found a lovely dessert place a 3 minute walk from the hotel called cloud la mer, but there are not many places to eat nearby for dinner so its best to eat down in the main areas before coming back up to the hotel. There is a seven eleven and also a small supermarket further down the hill, both about a 5-8 minute walk. We loved the layout of our room which was spacious and also functional with a young toddler. The toiletries were all of a good quality and we enjoyed wearing our pyjama's for breakfast. We also had an onsen on our balcony which was lovely to use. The breakfast is traditional Japanese so you are given a tray filled with fish, pickles, rice and miso soup and other small dishes to try and this was enjoyable for our 3 night stay however any longer and it may have been too much. There was also a pick your own section as well for breakfast so you could grab extra's such as fruits and yogurts.

I travelled especially to Atami to stay at Soki Atami. This was a high-end hotel that was done very well. It was obvious that the hotel had been designed around modern architecture with a minimalist style. The staff were on hand when required, however they worked to allow guests their space. The rooms and facilities were amazing here. Absolutely delightful. The bar and lounge had an amazing view and a beautiful place to enjoy the sights of Atami Bay area. I did not have dinner here (went to a great little western style restaurant run by a beautiful Japanese couple). I did have breakfast and it was amazing. This was a real experience and everything on offer was perfect and delicious. I enjoyed my stay here a lot. Not cheap, however it was a real treat.

Beautiful rooms, great amenities, the public onsen was lovely. The Japanese breakfast was very good. The property is beautifully designed, although the hotels location is not great, it’s surrounded by beautiful gardens and windows are placed in such a way that you don’t really see the other buildings around. The hotel is not easily accessible with public transport so having your own car is a must, there’s a lot of parking available at the property.

Excellent, minimal, sleek design for those architecture-hungry folks. Matching quality catering, well designed and executed food.

SOKI Atami will be one of our most memorable and inspiring stays on our entire Japan trip! The modern minimalistic design aesthetic and zen atmosphere surrounded by lush green gardens and bamboo forest surroundings was exactly what I was dreaming of. I will never forget how SOFT my skin was after indulging in our private onsen bath (multiple times!)...it was incredibly relaxing especially after traveling for 2 weeks around the country. It was an extra bonus to have the onsen already filled and perfectly heated when we arrived. The amenities were also top notch, and we enjoyed dressing in our Samue loungewear and tabi socks to dinner and breakfast, as well as the making our own 'sachet' souvenir. The meals were a visual feast and we loved trying new dishes which were beautifully choreographed and presented both at dinner and the breakfast buffet. We will recommend SOKI to our friends for a special experience.
