The aim of this hotel is to create a 'cultural salon', where tourists and local people gather and share ideas, there are plenty of communal spaces to meet like minded people on your visit. Enjoy freshly baked breads and fresh produce with your breakfast, before taking a look round the on-site art gallery. The simplistically modern rooms boast original tatami flooring and features.
