HOSHINOYA Tokyo: Extraordinary vibes at one of Tokyo’s top hotels
HOSHINOYA is a luxury hotel brand operated by Hoshino Resorts, which has been in business for 106 years. They have facilities in Japan, like in Kyoto, Karuizawa, and Fuji, as well as abroad (Indonesia, Taiwan).
Its main strength is its “extraordinary getaway.” The resort offers the most exceptional service and most relaxing spaces. Known in Japan as a hotel you will always want to stay in, it’s likely to be fully booked during the holiday seasons.
HOSHINOYA Tokyo, opened in 2016, is a “tower ryokan (Japanese inn)” with two floors below ground and 17 floors above, incorporating elements of a ryokan in a vertically elongated space. While traditional Japanese inns are usually wooden one-story buildings, HOSHINOYA Tokyo is a modern Japanese inn that fits perfectly in the city center.

The smell of the tatami and the gentle pressure of the texture under your feet will gently make you feel more rested already.
The decoration of the entrance changes once a month, according to the seasonal occasions. You will be able to see and feel the seasons through the decoration, like the New Year's ones, or the cherry blossoms in April, or the traditional Japanese umbrella in a rainy season.

The Ochanoma Lounge is a semi-private open space that can be used by guests on that floor. Of course, it’s free and available 24/7! You can make your coffee or tea with the provided tea set, or enjoy seasonal sweets and evening snacks. Each snack presents a description outlining their features, including ingredients, so if you have any food allergies, you can feel safe.
