This award-winning property balances Japanese minimalism and quiet luxury with invitingly sumptuous fabrics and furnishings to create a serenely elegant escape. With views over the Imperial Palace Gardens and the skyline beyond, it’s well-located as a city bolthole for both exploring and relaxation. Large windows throughout make the most of the view, while leaf motifs and earthy hues continue the natural connection to the outside.
The calming, contemporary style continues through the 284 rooms, with some offering balconies or terraces to capitalise on the views. Bamford bath amenities, Imabari bath linens and traditionally made nambu-tekki tea pots and handmade mashiko-yaki tea cups raise the experience to new highs. From the ten restaurants and bars to the Evian Spa, the pool and fitness centre, the facilities are world-class. Whether taking a journey through Japan’s cuisine with tempura, teppanyaki, sushi and kaiseki or French fine dining at the Michelin-starred Esterre, the range and exquisite quality of the dishes stand out in a city known for its exceptional restaurant scene.
Benesse House, situated on Naoshima Island in the Setouchi Inland Sea, seamlessly blurs the lines between hotel and art gallery.
