Rooms & rate
What you're paying for
Individually designed rooms and suites of varying size; the rate typically includes the spa pool and fitness access, with dining and treatments extra. The catch is scarcity — there are relatively few rooms and they book early, so plan well ahead.
Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
Every room is individually designed with reclaimed materials and antiques, giving it a warmth most luxury hotels lack.
Not independently verified — estimated
The lantern-lit Shibui Spa pool, built around a reconstructed Japanese farmhouse, is one of the most serene retreats in the city.
