Administered by the Hokkaidō Development Commission Kaitaku shi, the construction of the Hōheikan was started in 1879 in the Nishi 1-chōme area of Odori Park. It was completed in November 1880 and opened in December of the same year. The purpose of the construction was to construct accommodation for the other countries’ engineers developing the primitive Hokkaidō prefecture. The building was officially opened as a hotel in August 1881 and invited Emperor Meiji as the first guest. He stayed in the Hōheikan for four days. Winning fame as a hotel where the Emperor had stayed, the Hōheikan was used for many ceremonies and as a hotel for officials. In 1882, the Hokkaidō Development Commission was demolished, and after the ownership of the Hōheikan was moved, the Imperial Household Ministry lent the building to Sapporo. Followed by Emperor Meiji, Emperor Taishō stayed in the Hōheikan in 1911 as Emperor Shōwa in 1922.
