Fodor's Review:
With its Mediterranean-style courtyard fountains and European furnishings, the Hotel Monterey takes you off Kobe's busy streets and into modern Italy. It was modeled after a monastery in Florence. The rooms are beautiful and spacious, with terra-cotta floors and tiled bathrooms. The hotel is in a fantastic location, just east of Ikuta Jinja in the heart of San-no-miya.
