Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Koé

3–7 Udagawacho, Tokyo, Tokyo-to, Japan Fodor's Choice

With a contemporary open-plan bakery-restaurant-event-space on the first floor; a flagship store for the hip apparel store, "Koé," on the second floor; and a lounge bar and sparse industrial-chic rooms from the third floor up, Koé is possibly the coolest hotel in Tokyo. The wide-wood and concrete staircase leads from the ground floor restaurant and bakery that turns into a club on the weekend to the Koé-lifestyle store where you can find contemporary clothing and accessories. Then an elevator takes guests to a muted, moody, and minimal lounge and on to monochrome guestrooms that are clean-lined and light-filled with raised beds, and a mix of wood, concrete, and glass materials.
