From Arimatsu Shibori textiles to Tokoname, Seto and Mino ware pottery and ceramics, every aspect of the hotel is a tribute to the region's craftsmanship.

The hotel's prime location on the 7th floor and 24th to 32nd floors of the freshly redeveloped Chunichi building offers breathtaking views of iconic cityscapes, such as the Nagoya Castle, Mirai Tower and Oasis 21 among others, also creating mesmerizing night views of the city of Nagoya and its vibrant Sakae district.

The hotel entrance sets the tone for a unique experience, adorned with a 5m x 5m masterpiece by Syuhei Hasado, a renowned artist in the century-old art of Japanese "Sakan" plaster works. The elegant simplicity of the front lobby on the 24th floor hints at the underlying aesthetics and philosophy of wabi-sabi.

The guest rooms feature three distinctive design concepts: "History", "Present" and "Timeless", providing guests with a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Chubu. Its 246 rooms all offer stunning views of Nagoya city and the surrounding mountains as well as a unique perspective on the region's powerful crafts and manufacturing incorporated in the many materials and products of the region they contain.
