UNUSUAL CAPSULE HOTEL

Japanese entrance door of the capsule Hotel Zen Tokyo

This capsule hotel designed with traditional Japanese elements breaks with capsule hotels’ usual futuristic and pragmatic references.

Hotel Zen Tokyo has decided to put forward aesthetic Japanese element to take capsule hotel experience to a new territory, traditional Japan. How so? By implementing natural materials and colors and introducing specific Japanese elements such as tatami mats, tokonoma (a small alcove on which is fixed a painting) and a tea pavilion in the center of the bar.

Designed according to the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, the art of imperfection, Hotel Zen Tokyo almost gives the impression to live in a house of tea, or in a ryokan and thus enables its visitors to enjoy a Japanese hotel experience, at a reasonable price.


Cet hôtel capsule habillé d’éléments japonais traditionnels rompt avec les habitudes futuristes ou fonctionnelles des hôtels capsule.

L’Hotel Zen Tokyo a décidé de mettre en avant l’élément esthétique japonais pour réinventer l’expérience hôtelière capsule. Comment ? En mettant en œuvre des couleurs et des matériaux naturels et en utilisant des éléments traditionnels de l’hôtellerie japonaise tels que des tatamis, des tokonoma (petite alcôve sur laquelle est fixé un tableau) et un pavillon de thé au centre du bar.

Conçu selon le concept japonais du wabi-sabi, l’art de l’imperfection, l’hôtel Zen Tokyo donne presque l’impression de vivre dans une maison de thé, ou dans un ryokan, et permet ainsi à ses visiteurs de vivre une expérience hôtelière japonaise, à un prix raisonnable.
