Tokyo Hotel Sketch 도쿄 호텔 도감
.
A hotel is more than just a place to stay—it is a space designed for travel and relaxation. But when an architect visits a hotel, what do they observe first? Life Pattern Korea.
One of the greatest joys of traveling is the anticipation of staying at a hotel. Many people spend significant time and money choosing the perfect accommodation, carefully selecting a place that meets their needs. As they stay, they marvel at the details or, at times, find faults in the design. Architects, too, share this experience, but with a unique perspective. They analyze how these short-term living and service spaces are structured, sometimes discovering moments of pure architectural delight. Life Pattern Korea. Endo Kei, a Tokyo-based architectural designer, fell in love with the intricacies of hotel spaces while participating in hotel design projects. Tokyo Hotel Catalog is the result of his four-year journey, where he personally stayed at 22 hotels in Tokyo and its surrounding areas, meticulously measuring and sketching each space by hand. Life Pattern Korea.
A Vivid Look Inside Hotel Rooms, Captured in Stunning Detail
With each room illustrated at a 1:50 scale, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the intricate details of hotel spaces. The floor plans allow readers to discover hidden design elements—window placements, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures—all meticulously captured in colorful sketches. The texture of wallpapers, the elegance of velvet curtains, the positioning of cozy sofas, and even the thoughtfully curated hotel amenities all come to life on the pages. Life Pattern Korea.
The book dedicates four pages to each hotel, featuring nearly 180-degree spreads for an immersive experience. The inside cover also includes a complete overview of the 22 hotel floor plans, letting readers mark their dream destinations. As you study the handcrafted illustrations, you can almost imagine the author, tape measure in hand, meticulously mapping out every inch of the room—a true celebration of architectural passion. Life Pattern Korea.
A Curated List of Architecturally and Culturally Rich Hotels
Beyond capturing hotel interiors, Tokyo Hotel Catalog offers a deep dive into the architectural history and unique features of these accommodations. From the breathtakingly illuminated main lobby of The Okura Tokyo, with its signature plum blossom-inspired tables, to Imperial Hotel Tokyo, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and renowned for withstanding the Great Kanto Earthquake, this book presents a sophisticated and intellectual journey through Japan’s most fascinating hotel designs. Life Pattern Korea. Some hotels showcase contemporary design, like Hotel Shiro—a hidden gem in the bustling Ikebukuro district—or MUJI Hotel Ginza, which exclusively features furnishings from the minimalist MUJI brand. Others carry a legacy of hosting writers and artists, inspiring creativity and deep contemplation. The Yamanoue Hotel, for instance, was nicknamed the “canned hotel” (간즈메 호텔) because authors would seclude themselves for days, focusing solely on writing. Life Pattern Korea. From the scents that fill the rooms to the views outside the windows, from the floral arrangements in the lobby to the unforgettable service of hotel staff—Tokyo Hotel Catalog captures the essence of what makes a hotel stay extraordinary. This book invites you to indulge in a virtual staycation, flipping through pages that evoke the joy of checking into a new, thoughtfully designed space. Life Pattern Korea.
