Exciting Developments in Tokyo's Hospitality Scene: New Hotels Opening in 2025
Tokyo's hospitality landscape is set to evolve with the upcoming launch of two boutique hotels,
illi Tria Shibuya and
illi Pal Gotanda, both scheduled to open in
June 2025. Managed by
BARE NOTE STUDIO (BNS), these hotels are designed specifically for group accommodations, combining luxury, comfort, and the unique characteristics of their respective neighborhoods.
Introducing illi Tria Shibuya
Located just a five-minute walk from
Shibuya Station,
illi Tria Shibuya will feature rooms accommodating up to six guests, with areas ranging from
49 to 52 square meters. The hotel's triangular design is visually striking, and the warm terracotta elements mix beautifully with high-quality materials, creating a soothing yet elegant atmosphere. Guests will enjoy an expansive feeling with high ceilings and penthouse-like luxury, promising a memorable stay in one of Tokyo's most vibrant areas.
Discovering illi Pal Gotanda
On the other side,
illi Pal Gotanda, located a six-minute walk from
Gotanda Station, will mark the brand's first foray into the Shinagawa area. This hotel also accommodates up to six guests in similarly spacious
50 square meter rooms. The design features elegant curves and an ivory color palette, complemented by stainless steel accents, offering a refined yet serene space. Guests can unwind and find tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life or travel.
What is illi Stays?
illi Stays is more than just a hotel chain; it represents a new kind of accommodation experience that combines the amenities of home with the services of a boutique hotel. All properties are strategically located in highly sought-after areas of Tokyo, making them ideal for travelers. Each spacious room includes a living area, kitchen, dining space, and laundry facilities, allowing families and groups to enjoy lengthy stays comfortably.
Despite its unique self-service model, illi Stays prides itself on high standards of cleanliness and exceptional hospitality, ensuring that every guest enjoys a fulfilling experience. The brand continually updates its operational strategies based on guest feedback to provide top-notch service. The spaces are thoughtfully designed, enhancing the experience for travelers looking for something distinctive.
Future Expansion Plans
BARE NOTE STUDIO aims to operate a total of
200 hotel rooms, with ongoing projects focused on gaining new properties and developing partnerships in key urban areas. Future plans include expansions into cities like
Osaka and
Kyoto, tapping into the booming inbound tourism sector. The impetus behind this growth is Japan's rich cultural diversity, culinary traditions, stunning landscapes, and the warmth of its hospitality, which is once again drawing global attention.
According to BARE NOTE STUDIO, the hospitality industry can drive Japan's resurgence as a premier travel destination, and the success of illi Stays will help tackle the challenges presented by underperforming real estate by revitalizing properties that can’t meet modern demands.
Seeking Partnerships
To facilitate its rapid growth, BARE NOTE STUDIO is looking for partnerships to enhance their hotel development. They invite real estate companies, interior design firms, linen suppliers, and cleaning service providers to join in creating these innovative hotels. With a strong commitment to producing quality experiences, they hope to collaborate with businesses that share their values.
Investment Opportunities
For investors, there are opportunities to engage in a profit-sharing model that combines stable returns with unique experiential value. By engaging in lease agreements with property owners and covering initial setup costs, partners can reap the financial benefits while enjoying personal use of the facilities as well.
BARE NOTE STUDIO's ambitious projects align with Japan's goal to revitalize its tourism sector, making it easier for international travelers to enjoy their stay in Japan.
Conclusion
As the country reemerges on the global travel stage, illi Stays aims to redefine hotel experiences that cater to the growing demand for group accommodations. The upcoming openings of illi Tria Shibuya and illi Pal Gotanda are just the beginning of an exciting journey for BARE NOTE STUDIO.
