How to Say ‘Please take me to this hotel.’ in Japanese

このホテルまでお願いします。

kono hoteru made o negai shi masu

[koh-noh hoh-teh-roo mah-deh oh neh-gah-ee shee mahs]

💬 Usage Tip: [この] means "this," [ホテル] is "hotel," [まで] means "to/as far as," and [お願いします] is a very useful polite "please." This is a perfect phrase while showing the hotel name on your phone.

🇯🇵 In Japan: In Japan, it's very normal to show the hotel's name card, map, or booking screen to the driver instead of giving a long spoken explanation.

Teaching in Osaka and I wanted to connect with my students beyond the classroom. The everyday conversation scenarios made my Japanese feel natural, not textbook-y.

Moved to Tokyo and the polite vs. casual speech levels were killing me. This app breaks it all down with real scenarios. My coworkers noticed the difference in weeks.
