The Hotel New Grand in Yokohama, Japan.
The Hotel New Grand in Yokohama, Japan.

The Hotel New Grand is one of the most famous hotels in the city of Yokohama. It is also known as a historic place of Yokohama bay. I have never stayed in it, because I live in Yokohama, but it is on my list to visit. The hotel was names as ‘Grand Hotel’ until it had been burnt down by a big quake around 90 years ago.

Most of well-known cities has a historic hotel and visiting them is always my pleasure. Of course, it’s a bit expensive for me to stay in then usually I’ve just looked around, though.
