About the Project

Overview Hotel Granvia Hiroshima, directly connected to Hiroshima Station, the gateway to the city of peace, has been renovated. In order to accommodate the increasing demand from inbound tourists, the fifth floor, which was previously used as a high-end private room for Japanese cuisine, has been renovated into a premium floor with four bedrooms to accommodate groups of tourists from overseas. In addition, part of the interior of the Japanese restaurant Setouchi has been renovated.
Issues/Themes The goal is to create guest rooms that can accommodate four people and have a modern Japanese design to meet the needs of foreign Tourism, particularly Western families who are interested in the history of Japan and Hiroshima.The Japanese restaurant will also be renovated to meet the needs of foreign Tourism who want to enjoy Japanese cuisine.
Space Solution/Realization Based on the concept of "Tsudoi~4B~", we have created spacious rooms with four beds, perfect for families to gather and chat, and two washbasins, to support the comfortable stay of group guests. In addition, the warm texture of wood and the red of "Saijo tiles" and "maple leaves", which evoke the scenery of Hiroshima, are used as accent colors Spatial Production a high-quality stay worthy of a premium floor. At the Japanese restaurant "Setouchi", we have installed a symbolic red counter that will be used for tea ceremony services and introductions to local Hiroshima sake.
