Kyochika's take

Truffle pasta and sea-urchin-sauce wagyu for Christmas at the Italian restaurant on the 1st floor of the Main Building.

You can choose a courtyard seat for ¥2,000 more per person. Desserts are a gianduja mousse and a chocolate soufflé.

On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day there are two seatings, with only the S course that includes a half bottle of spumante. These two days seem good if you are going as a couple.

Why was Hotel New Grand built in Yokohama?

Hotel New Grand owes its origins to the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. Yokohama had once been home to the Grand Hotel, which opened in 1873 but was lost in the disaster. Conceived as a symbol of the port city's recovery, Hotel New Grand opened on December 1, 1927.

The original building was designed by architect Jin Watanabe, also known for Tokyo's Wako building in Ginza. Notable guests have included Douglas MacArthur, Charlie Chaplin and Babe Ruth. In 1992, the main building was designated a historic building by the City of Yokohama. Inside, visitors can find a model recreating the hotel at its opening and a historical timeline. Beyond the food, take a moment to appreciate the architecture that tells the story of Yokohama's recovery.
