"Communal Lobby"
Immediately after entering the entrance, there is a space called "Communal Lobby". This space, including the lobby lounge, cafe & bar, and restaurant, can be used by anyone, even if they are not staying at the hotel.
It's an open and very comfortable space!
Style Kitchen "Cafe&Bar" where you can enjoy coffee in collaboration with TRUNK COFFEE
Since the hotel is particular about coffee, we first went to the Style Kitchen "Cafe & Bar".
Here, you can taste coffee that collaborated with TRUNK COFFEE. TRUNK COFFEE is characterized by its sourness, but to make it easier for everyone to drink, the sourness is slightly reduced, and the hotel's original blend combines two types of specialty coffee. Coffee that can only be tasted here.
They are particular about how to brew coffee.
"POURSTEADY" introduced for the first time in Nagoya. It's an automatic drip machine developed by NASA engineers! It is said that the barista's recipe is programmed and faithfully reproduced. TRUNK COFFEE is supervising the recipe.
At Style Kitchen, you can enjoy afternoon tea and craft beer from Y.MARKET BREWING!
In-house BGM selected so that no one song overlaps 24 hours a day
As a hotel that focuses on music, there is a DJ booth in one corner of the lobby! Full-fledged level used in outdoor festivals and halls. Events are now held once a month.
Please listen to the background music when you enter the hotel.
The background music in the hotel is provided by Kenichiro Nishihara, a DJ who has worked on sound direction for GINZA SIX, etc. The music is selected so that not a single song is played in a 24-hour period. We felt the hospitality of the hotel, which wants guests to enjoy their stay with a fresh feeling no matter how many times they visit.
Next, we went to the hotel space for guests only.
A hotel space filled with the uniqueness of Nagoya
After checking in, let's go to our rooms!

This time we stayed on the Premier Floor on the 14th floor. Incidentally, the Delux+ Floor is a floor designed for quality sleep, with Airwave mattresses, relaxing herbal tea, and other amenities.
The sign indicating the number of floors is made of Seto ware. The motif is the lily, the flower of Nagoya City.
