ACE HOTEL opened in Shinpukan
This time we'd like to introduce you to ACE HOTEL KYOTO, a culturally-filled hotel from Seattle, USA. This is ACE HOTEL's first store in Asia. It just opened in June of this year inside Shinpukan, a new spot directly connected to Karasuma Oike Station.
Shinpūkan is a commercial complex that was renovated from the former Kyoto Central Telephone Office. Architect Kengo Kuma supervised the design of the brick building, which was completed in 1926 (Taisho 15).In addition to the Ace Hotel, there is a movie theater Uplink, a select shop 1LDK, Beams, fashion brand Maison Hiso Kitsune, and food and beverage facilities.

Established in 1999 with the founder's idea of ``a place where his musician friends could stay while on tour.'' It has also expanded to eight locations across the United States, including Seattle and New York. By creating facilities with local artists and craftsmen, you can smell the unique culture of the area.

A lobby filled with the scent of music, art, and coffee
ACE HOTEL KYOTO inherits this DNA, with the concept of East Meets West. The interior design was supervised by Commune Design, which has worked on several ACE HOTEL projects. Works by artists from both Japan and the American West Coast, crafts by craftsmen, and local materials are scattered throughout the museum. The typography that colors the entire piece was designed by dyer Sayaro Yuzuki. The warm, hand-drawn design will enliven your travel spirit. There are also tapestries with designs of the Japanese archipelago here and there. When you enter through the main entrance guided by the hotel logo designed by Yuzuki, you are greeted by the iconic lobby.
24st floor lobby open 7 hours. In the back is Stumptown Coffee Roasters, the first store in Japan (opens at XNUMX a.m.).The tapestry hanging above the entrance is by Sayaro Yuzuki.
The lobby is an open space where anyone can relax freely 24 hours a day. Power supplies and Wi-Fi are also available, so it's crowded with local residents and workers. This lobby, which is open to the community, can be said to be a space that symbolizes ACE HOTEL KYOTO.
