This boutique property of just 41 keys is nestled in the top two floors of the new One Fukuoka Building, conveniently located above the Tenjin metro station and the underground shopping mall. While small, the hotel is a destination unto itself, with excellent dining options and spacious, relaxing rooms that make for a great city escape.
The hotel features a mix of traditional design elements, like the latticed spaces and doors featuring a shinden-zukuri motif, as well as modern art showcasing vivid scenes of lightning. Rooms and suites include expansive views of Hakata Bay or the surrounding mountains with most offering separate sleeping and living areas as well as Japanese bathtubs, pyjamas and curated skincare. The items are so popular they are often purchased by guests (which can be done through their interactive TV system). The hotel also offers its own public bath (separate for men and women) and sauna on the top floor, the perfect way to relax after a day out shopping and sightseeing. Guests can check how busy it is through the TV system as well. The Library Lounge also makes for a peaceful space to rest, read and enjoy free coffee, tea, ice cream or light snacks throughout the day.
The signature King is a stay option that includes separate living and sleeping areas as well as a study with windows looking out into the corridor and the courtyard garden beyond. The unique concept offers more daylight with an easy option for privacy thanks to the window blinds.
For a boutique property, the hotel boasts four F&B outlets including The Café on the first floor, Wan Steak House on the 19th floor and The Roof and The Kitchen on the 18th floor. The Kitchen is a stellar option for quality Western and Japanese dishes that feature the best of the region’s excellent produce. The cocktail programme changes with the seasons and with equally sophisticated mocktail options on the menu.
