Overview
Hotel Metropolitan Sendai is located on the west side of Sendai Station, a one-minute walk from the West Exit and adjoining the station complex. From here, the Tohoku Shinkansen, Sendai Airport Access Line, subway, and city buses are all close at hand.
This is the west-side Metropolitan, separate from Hotel Metropolitan Sendai East. The two hotels share the same general station address but are approached from different sides, so the distinction matters when you are arriving with luggage.
Rooms
The 295 rooms offer more variety than a typical station-area business hotel. Standard doubles begin at 18.1 square meters, while executive twins can sleep three, and 36-square-meter concept twins give couples or friends extra space.
For larger groups, the hotel also has Japanese suites and a Japanese-style room that can accommodate up to eight guests. At the top end, the Royal Suite measures 110 square meters. Because room sizes and layouts vary widely, it is worth checking the category carefully before reserving.
Facilities
Free Wi-Fi is available in guest rooms and the lobby. Facilities include a guest salon, nursing room, foreign-currency exchange machine, accessible features, and paid parking.
Parking is limited and cannot be reserved. On the basement level, the hotel connects with S-PAL Sendai's shopping, food, and souvenir floors, making it easy to pick up essentials or gifts before or after a train journey.
Dining
The hotel has three main restaurants covering French-influenced cooking, Japanese cuisine and teppanyaki, and Chinese dishes. Restaurant and Cafe Serenity highlights ingredients from Tohoku, while Hayase serves seasonal Japanese food and Sendai beef at the teppanyaki counter.
A lobby lounge and bar add lighter options for tea, sweets, or an evening drink. The range is especially convenient after a long rail trip, when staying in for dinner is more appealing than searching around the station area.
Location and transport
The hotel is in the Sendai Station Area, on the side closest to the West Exit Bus Pool, taxis, Loople Sendai sightseeing buses, and routes toward the central shopping streets. JR and Shinkansen platforms are reached through Sendai Station, and Sendai Subway access is available via the South 6 exit.
Compared with Hotel Metropolitan Sendai East, this west-side location better suits city-center plans and bus departures while keeping the same broad rail access through Sendai Station.
Airport access
Direct Sendai Airport Access Line trains take about 25 minutes from Sendai Airport to Sendai Station. From there, follow the West Exit route to the hotel; no additional train or bus transfer is needed.
Why stay here
Choose Hotel Metropolitan Sendai if you want the main rail hub and central Sendai bus options close together, along with a fuller-service stay that includes varied room types and several places to eat. It works well for Shinkansen schedules, airport-rail arrivals, and regional day trips based around Sendai.
The west side also places the Loople Sendai sightseeing bus and city-center shopping streets on the more convenient side of the station. You can keep transport simple without limiting every meal or evening to the station building.
Good to know
Hotel Metropolitan Sendai and Hotel Metropolitan Sendai East are separate hotels. For this hotel, use West Exit directions; signs for the east-side Metropolitan lead to the opposite side of the station complex.
