About the Project

Overview The large resort hotel "Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel" faces Lake Biwa, which has seen an increase in Tourism demand in recent years. In order to respond to the diversification of domestic and international Tourism and business demand, and to strengthen the attraction of increasing numbers of foreign Tourism, three-generation families including active domestic seniors, and resort MICE, we were in charge of renovating the guest rooms "Lake Floor" and buffet restaurant "Lake View Dining Biona."
Issues/Themes 1) In terms of guest rooms, twin rooms will be available for four people with a view to raising the ADR (average daily rate). Japanese-style rooms will be renovated into Japanese-Western style rooms. Create a high-quality space befitting a resort hotel that takes advantage of the view of Lake Biwa.
② The restaurant will be renovated to take advantage of the panoramic view from the 37th floor, with the goal of improving customer satisfaction and increasing average spending per customer.
Space Solution/Realization ①The guest rooms are designed with a "Lake Bright" concept, with a bright and refreshing space that uses blue to evoke the waters of Lake Biwa, Spatial Production a sense of freedom like a resort. The twin rooms feature a full-wall headboard and stacking beds that allow four beds to be arranged side-by-side. The Japanese-Western rooms have wooden floors and twin beds, and utilize tatami rooms to retain a Japanese atmosphere.
②The restaurant has a seating layout that makes the most of the view, likening it to three terraces, with separate seating areas for families, groups, and other customers. The diverse layout and colorful use of colors Spatial Production a resort feel.
