The rooms offer a perfect balance between elegance and comfort. Western or Japanese-style accommodations are adorned with noble materials such as tatami, combining modern beds and traditional futons. Their breathtaking view of the mountains envelops each guest in contemplative escape. All offer well-appointed amenities ranging from flat-screen TVs to refined linens, while some even feature a tatami corner for added authenticity.
