Experience of the stay
A hotel that combines interior design and art, renovated from a former vocational school.
With the concept of 'Art & Culture', a new element of 'Wa' (Japanese-style) was added during the renewal in 2016.
Features of Hotel Anteroom Kyoto include:
- Restaurant & bar 'ANTEROOM MEALS'
- A spacious permanent gallery space called 'GALLERY 9.5'
- Design-oriented shared lounge area
- A large number of rooms
- Facilities for long-term stayers including coin laundry and vending machines
- Within walking distance from Kyoto Station
In this stylish space perfect for photos, I couldn't help but take pictures.
Cultural experiences such as art events and exhibitions are also possible, with a large gallery space available.
It seems that different experiences and views can be enjoyed each time I visit, as various events are held.
Breakfast features daily-changing sandwiches made from seasonal local ingredients, along with homemade granola, seasonal jams, and smoothies, which I didn't try this time but looked very delicious.
I believe this hotel is undoubtedly suitable for those who love to be surrounded by contemporary art.
Experiences during the trip
One of the purposes of my visit to Kyoto was to participate in the HafH Travel Week event.
I joined an event hosted by HafH ambassadors.
This spacious lounge area was a unique space exclusive to Hotel Anteroom Kyoto.
Although it was my first time attending a HafH event, the atmosphere was lively, and it felt like I was interacting with friends I had known for a long time.
During the ongoing campaign 'Exciting Air Travel Gacha Deluxe!', I won an airline ticket through the gacha!
Since there seem to be other events and galleries held here, please enjoy your hotel stay, including the experiences offered here.
