Koé Hotel, Anything But a Hotel
The concept of Koé Hotel, located in the heart of Shibuya in Tokyo, is centred around three words: stay, fashion and music.

A clothing store, a space for music and luxury bedrooms: this is the concept for Koé Hotel. Inside the Koé Shibuya boutique sells clothes, CDs and limited edition objects created in collaboration with numerous artists and illustrators.
The rooms are inspired by those used for the tea ceremony, with simple and refined décor. The Koé Lobby, meanwhile, houses a restaurant and a bakery, both run by chef Satoshi Kakegawa, while the Koé Space hosts musical events, dedicated to showcases with DJ sets. With all this on offer, it is difficult to imagine how the guests find the time to sleep.
