Facilities
A distinct vacation that lets you feel as though you were staying at a museum
Created out of the desire of architects and creators invited from all over the world to leave their work for future generations and for history,
a building that could be called a masterpiece-this is Hotel Kawakyu.
This unique hotel won the 6th Murano Togo Prize, the greatest honor in architecture, in 1993.
Everything seen in the hotel is an art space, from the various objects to the interior, which is why it is called a museum hotel.
Entrance hall
The entrance hall symbolizes the hotel.
Look up at the domed ceiling above and find it covered in 22.5 carat gold foil, which lights up the lobby in the most extraordinary when the sun shines in. The 24 pillars supporting this ceiling were created using a special technique called Stock Marmo (plaster stone imitation technique). Developed in Europe long ago, this technique can be seen at such places as the Vienna Opera House.
