Experience Tokyo's Vibrant Creative Scene at BnA HOTEL Koenji - Stay Inside a Work of Art! Immerse yourself in the world of art and creativity at BnA HOTEL Koenji, an exceptional independent art hotel that stands as a testament to the innovative Bed & Art Project (BnA). This extraordinary hotel is a collaboration between local Japanese artists, architects, textile designers, and carpenters, resulting in a collection of uniquely designed rooms that are true works of art themselves.

Each room at BnA HOTEL Koenji is a masterpiece created by talented Japanese artists, providing guests with a one-of-a-kind experience like no other. The intricate designs and artistic elements transform the hotel into an immersive gallery where you can live and breathe art during your entire stay.

The hotel's allure extends beyond its enchanting rooms. Inside the cozy complex, you'll find a vibrant bar, a captivating art gallery, and a rooftop lounge that hosts a plethora of events throughout the year. These spaces serve as meeting points, fostering an environment where guests can interact with the local community and engage with like-minded art enthusiasts in a social and inspiring setting.

BnA HOTEL Koenji goes beyond its artistic vision to actively support up-and-coming Japanese artists. By dedicating each art room to a specific artist, BnA provides them with a platform to showcase their talent while also compensating them through a share of the profits from room bookings. This ingenious model not only empowers local artists but also enriches the experience of art lovers visiting Tokyo.

With a dream to expand their innovative concept throughout the neighborhood, BnA plans to transform Koenji into an art hotel haven. The vision includes acquiring and developing more art rooms across Koenji, forming interconnected clusters that function as a unified hotel. As guests check in at the main building's Front Desk, they will be led through the lively streets of Koenji, immersing themselves in the neighborhood's creative energy and distinctive vibe.

Such a citywide art hotel will provide unparalleled opportunities for travelers to connect with the local community, fostering a deeper understanding of Tokyo's artistic soul. BnA also plans to collaborate with local businesses, offering guests enticing packages that include complimentary breakfasts at charming cafés, bike rentals to explore the surroundings, and even access to the local sento, the traditional Japanese public bath.

Since its inauguration in March 2016, BnA HOTEL Koenji's central building has been a hub for creativity and artistic expression. The Front Desk, acting as both a café and bar, serves as a symbolic check-in point for guests while serving as a space for local artists to converge and exchange ideas.

The rooftop terrace, open to the public during the day, provides an ideal venue for creative individuals to mingle and ignite new inspirations. The subterranean art gallery beneath the Front Desk is an exceptional opportunity for emerging international artists, as BnA plans to introduce an "artist in residence" program, offering free accommodations to selected artists to live and create their own distinctive installations within the gallery space.

BnA HOTEL Koenji is more than just a place to rest; it's a portal into Tokyo's artistic essence and a tribute to the creative spirit of Koenji. Whether you're an art enthusiast or a traveler seeking an unforgettable experience, staying at BnA HOTEL Koenji promises an artistic journey that will leave an indelible mark on your heart and soul.
