Experience of the stay
A hotel I had wanted to stay at for a long time✨
The room I stayed in this time was a room featuring the works of Barry McGee!
In a stylish space with a calming gray theme, the high ceiling and the balance of the artwork was perfect, and I could see the art for hours, which was blissful.
The room had a collection of Barry McGee's works and a file of the artist's profile, allowing me to thoroughly enjoy the art!
The desk lamp was a work by Junpei Ohmori.
Upon check-in, I received a welcome drink ticket, so I enjoyed a plethora of art displayed from the reception on the 1st floor to the bar, seeing works by Nobuyoshi Araki,
Joseph Beuys, Lawrence Weiner,
Shiro Kuramata, Eiko Hosoe, and others.
I was shown the Art List as I found some interesting works.
Thanks to the Art List, I could check out the works that were only in the guest rooms, and I thought to myself, next time I want to stay in this room.
There are not only artworks but also Gaudí's chairs and Marc Newson's chairs.
There are also artworks on the accommodation floor, so be sure to check those out too!
The day I stayed, new artworks were brought in, and I was lucky to see different pieces!
Breakfast is free until March 10, 2025.
You can choose from scrambled eggs, omelets, or fried eggs.
I have stayed in various art hotels, but this was a hotel that made me want to live in such a room.
Experiences during the trip
I visited the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
The air was clear and it was a very pleasant place.
At the visitors' rest area of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, you can purchase items such as wallets and hand towels with the chrysanthemum emblem on them.

I ordered the Goshomaru Gozen at the restaurant at the neutral rest area right outside the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
The first tier was Kyoto's obanzai.
The main dish on the second tier could be chosen from four types.
This time, I chose the Wagyu Sukiyaki Jyu.
The dishware is in the shape of Goshomaru!
