Collection II
Japan's finest compact hotels: private pods, quiet floors and traditional public baths.
The capsule hotel began in Osaka in 1979 as a practical answer to late trains and small budgets. At its best it is an exercise in order and calm, and the public bath is often the real reason to stay.
Tokyo, Japan
✦A women-only capsule hotel in Akihabara, designed with calm colours, wooden details and a quiet atmosphere.
Pods are simple but carefully kept, with a lounge, powder room and lockers shared by guests.
A few minutes on foot from Akihabara Station, close to the electronics and anime shops.
Osaka, Japan
✦A large capsule hotel in Osaka's Minami area built around a spa with an open-air bath, saunas and a rooftop pool used in summer.
Guests usually spend the evening in the baths and lounges before turning in to their pods.
In Sennichimae, close to Namba and Dotonbori.
Osaka, Japan
✦A long-established capsule hotel in Shinsaibashi with classic stacked pods and a large public bath.
It works well as a base for evenings in Osaka's shopping and food streets, with everything else shared.
