Then again the interiors are spectacular in their own right, a thoughtful mix of Japanese and Danish influences and a tour de force of exacting craftsmanship. The rooms and suites are all impressive, many with balconies, and the Owner\u2019s Suite, with its indoor-outdoor bathroom, is one of the finest rooms in all of Tokyo.

Dark wood and Edo-style wallpaper share the stage with refined Danish seating and smart lighting treatments.

And it\u2019s clearly been built for love of art, not profit; no budget-conscious hotelier would splash out for five Monet water lilies \u2014 to say nothing of their backdrop, a gorgeous Giverny-inspired garden. Even if not for the art, to sleep in a subtly luxurious Ando-designed hotel room, on a verdant, lost-in-time-feeling island, would be a treat in and of itself. But when you add the opportunity to literally spend a night at the museum, contemplating pieces by contemporary masters in virtual solitude, it\u2019s like no other hotel experience out there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;View Hotel&#8221; shape=&#8221;round&#8221; color=&#8221;black&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tablethotels.com%2Fen%2Fnaoshima-hotels%2Fbenesse-house&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n<div style=\"height:1px;border-top:3px double #ccc;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:60px;display:block;clear:both\"><\/div>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/tablet-trips?noapp=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20260418-puglia\/trips-learn-more.jpg\" alt=\"Trips\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>WHAT ARE TABLET TRIPS?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tablet Trips are curated journeys for boutique hotel lovers.
