The luxury hotel “The Kahala Hotel & Resort Yokohama” was opened in September 2020. It has become a hot topic in the world that the world's first Hawaiian brand, The Kahala Hotel & Resort, which has attracted successive U.S. presidents, state guests from various countries, and numerous Hollywood celebrities, was born in Yokohama. Became. Three years have passed since then, and it continues to attract attention as a hotel of our dreams.

Yokohama Story, the first global expansion of “The Kahala” brand

I hear that Hawaii and Yokohama are actually deeply connected through historical stories. In the first year of the Meiji era, the first immigrants set sail from near Yokohama's Great Pier to Hawaii, and several decades later, it was Yokohama that hosted the Meiji government's first state guest, King David Kalakaua of Hawaii. It is said that it was near the main pier. The fact that Yokohama was the first location for the globalization of The Kahala brand may be due to deep connections.

Although there is an affinity between Hawaii and Yokohama when it comes to the sea, the way time passes in Hawaii, which is a resort area, and Yokohama, which is a business base, are vastly different. However, as people who always seek peace, we still come here looking for the faint scent of Hawaii. This is because the interior design and hospitality are reminiscent of The Kahala in Hawaii.

The brand concept of "The Kahala Hotel & Resort" is "Timeless Luxury." Relaxation that makes you forget time, hospitality that transcends time, happiness that transcends time... In pursuit of the ``essence of abundance'' in our lives, we provide spaces and services that turn momentary happiness into lifelong memories. The warmth of the people, the comforting smiles, and the Hawaiian warmth will envelop us. It's easy to see why so many repeat customers come here in search of this kind of hospitality.

In terms of interior design, there are many similarities with the Kahala Hotel in Hawaii.
One of these is the chandelier decorated with Venetian glass, which evokes the image of "glass washed up on the beach," which is the symbol of The Kahala in Hawaii. In the 14th floor lobby of The Kahala Hotel & Resort Yokohama, there is a crystal bead chandelier inspired by the feathers of the crown of Hawaiian royalty, a plumeria, the national flower of Hawaii, and brackets shaped like petals that symbolize Yokohama's city rose. Lights will greet you. The brilliance of these crystals, combined with the sunlight shining through the large windows, creates a beautiful sparkle that resembles the sparkle of the sea.

Additionally, the ceilings, floors, and walls are decorated with geometric designs that are an arrangement of tribal patterns that have been used since ancient times in Hawaii, and the elegant drape curtains that decorate the lobby of The Kahala in Hawaii are similar to those in Yokohama. Modern and contemporary metal chain curtains.
Even if it is the same "The Kahala" brand. It is interesting that the design expresses the difference in the atmosphere and flow of time between the resort feel of Hawaii and the urban city of Yokohama.

The spectacular view of Yokohama from the guest room window fills our hearts.

There are 146 guest rooms in total, and even the standard room called ``The Kahala Grand'' is over 47 square meters, making it one of the largest in the Yokohama Minato Mirai area.
The guest rooms are designed with the brilliance of light in mind, and the modern black and white tones give an elegant impression. The walls are adorned with Hawaiian ethnic tattoos and tribal patterns used in Hawaiian quilts, giving it a distinctly Hawaiian feel.

I hear that many guests enjoy hotel life at the hotel, which offers a high-quality space and comfortable Hawaiian hospitality.
The hotel's spa and fitness facility, ``The Spa,'' is a space that can only be used by guests, and is equipped with an indoor pool, training gym, and treatment salon, making it the perfect space for a luxurious time for adults.

Outside the indoor pool, there is a Vibra bus with views of the Bay Bridge and Yaminato Mirai right in front of you, allowing you to fully enjoy Yokohama at dusk and at night. There is also a dry sauna (men's SPA) and a steam sauna (women's SPA), so you can have an experience that will soothe your mind and body.

The most popular among them is the treatment salon. The five private rooms are completely private spaces, and you can enjoy treatments such as ``YOKOHAMA Lomi Lomi'', which incorporates Hawaii's traditional lomi lomiho body treatment, or a lomi lomi stick or pohaku (hot stone) treatment using OLA PONO oil. There are plans such as ``YOKOHAMA OLA PONO''. The peace of mind and silence available only to guests will make you forget about your daily life.

Enhanced dining space to add luxury to your hotel time

The privilege of a hotel overlooking Yokohama and Minato Mirai is that it has a restaurant and lounge with an outstanding view. This place is open to the public, so it's always crowded with people. Italian restaurant ``OZIO'' has an open interior with large windows, and tables shaped like seashells provide a sense of privacy. It is suitable for those who want to enjoy a variety of beautiful dishes in a relaxed manner with their loved ones.

In addition, the lounge ``THE KAHALA LOUNGE'' is a woody space inspired by the Hawaiian koa tree.In particular, there is an afternoon stand with an original stand inspired by the large Ferris wheel ``Cosmo Clock 21'' in Minato Mirai, Yokohama. Tea is always popular and difficult to reserve.

Although it is close to Tokyo, time passes here that makes you forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Quiet time will surely replenish your energy.
