Despite this, all websites (that I have found) mentioning the hotel's year of completion state it was built in 1998! Maybe they all meant 1988?
The design was to resemble a yacht's billowing sail. The hotel is located in Yokohama's Minato Mirai area and is in close proximity to the Cosmo World amusement park.

The hotel contains 593 air-conditioned guestrooms. Depending upon your booking source, room rates rage from $105 to $138, which is quite reasonable for a hotel of this size and location.
Yokohama's role in kaiju history is covered in The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan on pages 19-20.
