The Trunk hotel’s brand has worked with the Tripster design studio to create the Trunk House, a boutique hotel in Tokyo, inspired by traditional Japanese aesthetics, located in Kagurazaka, a district of Tokyo.

The idea for this type of hotel came from the lounges that were in Tokyo years ago, where artists and creatives gathered – spaces where people shared ideas and exchanged thoughts and culture, similar to the French Salòn. From here, create a contemporary environment that had the same function.

But the strong point is an unusual and small disco of a bright red that is considered the smallest disco in Japan. Characterized by a curved minibar, a glittering disco ball, a dance floor full of lights and, if necessary, a karaoke.

In the tiled bathroom, there is a huge square and giant bathtub in cypress. In the tea room, the highlight is the built-in fireplace in front of which are arranged mats and tatami. The living room is also very cozy, with a large brown leather sofa, a glass coffee table, and large windows and wall. The whole thing is designed to look like a genkan.

The master bedroom consists of a classic Japanese style bed, a mattress resting on a raised wooden platform. The dining room is characterized by almost black walls, like shutters, a long oak table, soft lights and a large square French window, which overlooks a small courtyard.

The hotel can accommodate up to 6 people.
