node hotel, Kyoto
Industrial Chic Meets Art-Driven Hospitality
Where Design and Curation Collide
Just steps from Kyoto’s vibrant heart, node hotel redefines the boutique experience with a bold industrial-chic aesthetic and a museum-worthy art collection of more than 60 carefully curated works. Set within a five-story glass-and-concrete frame, the building is equal parts urban statement and creative sanctuary. Inside, the design favors raw honesty: exposed structural elements, metal finishes, and geometric gestures that create rhythm and drama. This framework becomes a backdrop for art and texture, resulting in interiors that feel both sultry and alive with personality.
Guest Rooms with Edge and Atmosphere
Each guestroom takes on its own identity, crafted with a deliberate interplay of materials. Diagonal, metal-coated ceilings cut striking lines overhead, while aged white oak floors add warmth underfoot. Custom furniture by Takeuchi pairs marble with iron, fusing luxury with industrial strength. Moody textiles, layered lighting, and unexpected juxtapositions elevate the rooms beyond minimalism into something eclectic yet cohesive. The effect is immersive—spaces that feel private, expressive, and distinctly modern.
Public Spaces as Living Gallery
The lobby channels the energy of both private gallery and vintage-filled study. Beneath a cascading greenery installation, guests encounter eclectic sculptures, shelves of well-thumbed books, and a carefully composed mix of antique and bespoke furnishings. It’s a space designed not for passing through but for pausing: browsing artworks, lingering with a coffee, or engaging in quiet conversation. Every detail feels intentional, underscoring node hotel’s identity as a cultural hub as much as a hospitality venue.
