At nine stories, the 250-room hotel features guest rooms combining traditional Japanese elements with modern sensibilities across nine room categories ranging from functional standard 20 to 23-square-meter layouts for up to two people, to 57-square-meter premium family rooms that can accommodate up to six people comfortably.
