【ホテル探訪】銀行からホテルへ!? インテリア好き必見 北欧×和の美意識が融合するブティックホテル【K5 | 東京・日本橋】

Hello, this is architect Vacance Okada! 🌿 Today, I’m visiting Kabutocho, Nihonbashi, Tokyo, a neighborhood that developed during the Meiji era as the birthplace of Japan’s financial market and was even nicknamed “Japan’s Wall Street.” While this neighborhood has long served as a financial center, in recent years it has undergone significant redevelopment, with hotels, restaurants, and cafes springing up in historic buildings. It’s transforming into a uniquely charming area where old and new intersect. Our destination, Hotel K5, was built as part of a revitalization project to create a new neighborhood while preserving the history of this land, the birthplace of Japan’s financial market. Let ‘s take a look at this special hotel together. Hotel K5 is conveniently located just a four-minute walk from Nihonbashi Station, nestled in a quiet corner of the city center. This building, originally a Taisho-era bank, was renovated by the Swedish architectural firm Claesson Koivisto Rune (CKR). This 20-room boutique hotel opened in 2020, creating a unique space with a theme of coexistence between the city and nature. Its exterior, which incorporates a contemporary design sensibility while retaining historical elements, is a new symbol of the city. Let’s take a look inside. Upon entering the hotel, guests are greeted by a large, soft-looking pendant light and a warm reception counter. The calming turquoise cement tiles on the floor are also charming. We relaxed while enjoying a drink at the adjacent “AKAI BAR.” True to its name, the entire space is unified in red, creating a striking yet nostalgic and calming design. For our welcome drink, we had a beautiful reddish-brown tea. Here are coupons for use at various shops in the area. This is a wonderful initiative to create excitement throughout the city. Now, let’s head to our room. After stepping out of the copper-clad elevator and walking down the corridor leading to our rooms, we were greeted by an inviting and captivating space. As I walk through the room, enveloped in the warmth of the wooden walls, I notice overlapping shoji-like colored glass screens shining in the sunlight, heightening my anticipation for my stay. The floor is covered with muted turquoise cement tiles, and a combination of rectangular tiles specially made for K5 creates a diverse look. The guest room doors are made of copper, highlighting the patina of aging and the contrasting textures of wood and copper as the light reflects off them. Let’s take a look at the room. My stay this time is in the “High Ceiling Jr. Suite,” one of the four categories. Upon opening the door, the first thing I notice is the large curtains swaying in the gentle breeze and the large pendant light that glows softly like moonlight. The curtains, dyed in a gradation of indigo, evoke the blue hour at dusk, said to be the most beautiful time in Scandinavia. The ceiling is 4.5 meters high, offering an overwhelming sense of openness rarely found in other hotels. The circular curtains hanging from the ceiling envelop the bed like a mosquito net, creating a comfortable sense of privacy. The space is accented by a 120-centimeter-diameter lantern. Crafted from Suifu, Ibaraki, one of the three major lantern-producing regions, its soft light shining through the washi paper adds a touch of warmth to the modern design. Moving further into the room, one enters the living area, where serenity and playfulness coexist. Here, beautiful original K5 furniture is lined up, including a leather-finish lounge chair shaped like unfolded origami paper and a soft red sofa, creating a striking, chic yet unique interior. A rug with a tatami-inspired design covers the floor, and the table resembles a low table. Scandinavian and Japanese influences are blended in exquisite balance. The beautiful indigo-colored sofa with bamboo legs adds a soft warmth to the space. Finally, the adorable, marshmallow-like sofa adds a finishing touch. Sitting on it reveals its exquisite scale. Next, let’s take a look at the space behind the bed. A hidden corner, sandwiched between a wooden wall and racks stretching to the ceiling, is a tranquil study space. A record player is also placed there, allowing guests to enjoy a moment of peace and quiet while listening to their favorite music. Next, let’s take a look at the mirrored storage space next to the bed. Inside, a minibar is fully equipped, with a kettle, glasses, cups, craft gin, drip coffee, herbal teas, and more lined on the top. A carefully selected selection of snacks , including peanuts and potato chips, is displayed in the drawers. The refrigerator below is stocked with a variety of soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, all of which are complimentary. Yukata robes are provided in the adjacent door, a thoughtful touch that demonstrates the hotel’s intention to blend a modern element with the traditional Japanese inn . Next, let’s take a look at the bathroom. Opening this wooden sliding door reveals the washbasin and bathroom area. Red lighting is installed in the mirror, creating an ambiance that makes you feel as if you’ve wandered into another world. When I turned on the lights, I noticed the white patterned tiles covering the entire wall, which , combined with the high ceiling, created a spacious bathroom. The floor is covered in the same tiles as the hallway, but in a different pattern, creating a continuous space that connects the hallway, guest room, and bathroom. The black washbasin is also striking, its tall, slender form perched on a pedestal evoking a somewhat Japanese aesthetic. Next to it is a beautifully detailed wooden box, inside which amenities are carefully organized. Finally, looking around, I see the toilet. The white tiles and patterned floor tiles, along with the high ceiling, create a comfortable, open space. So, I’ll wrap up the room tour here and relax in my room for a bit. For dinner tonight, I head to “B by The Brooklyn Brewery,” a craft beer spot in the basement. I leave the building, enter through the adjacent entrance, and head down to the basement. This is the world’s first flagship store created by a popular Brooklyn brewery. In addition to a wide variety of craft beers, the bar offers dishes that pair perfectly with beer, primarily tacos . The refreshing, easy-to-drink drink boasts aromas of citrus and tropical fruits. Tempura, a Nihonbashi soul food from the Edo period to the present, is presented in tacos. Kakiage (fried tempura) made with pickled ginger pairs perfectly with Brooklyn Lager. Juicy chicken marinated overnight is coated in a spicy batter. With our stomachs full and our spirits lifted by the beer, we headed to the hotel’s “AKAI BAR” for a special drink. On this day, a bar called “Quarter Room” in Setagaya Daita took over the bar, offering a variety of red cocktails. Since we were there, we decided to choose one from the selection. Despite being located in the heart of Tokyo (Kabukicho: No | Kabutocho: Yes), we enjoyed a luxurious day in a space that blended Japanese and Nordic aesthetics, losing track of time. Breakfast is served at the cafe “DANCE” on the first floor. The interior is a comfortable space with abundant plants scattered throughout , embodying the theme of coexistence between the city and nature . The red dining chairs stand out against the greenery, creating a perfect accent. Large windows let in plenty of natural light, The beautiful contrast with the stately building was a delight. For breakfast, I ordered the HOMEMADE WAFFLE morning set. It was simple yet very satisfying. Thank you for the meal. So, what did you think of K5 Hotel? Set in a historic building, the space skillfully blends Japanese and Nordic aesthetics, exuding originality and warmth down to the smallest detail. The hotel ‘s use of materials like wood, copper, and indigo fabric, the way light is incorporated, the contrasting colors, and the design that makes the most of the high ceilings all offered a unique, tasteful experience you won’t find anywhere else. I was very satisfied with my hotel exploration. This channel takes you on a design journey, touring hotels, villas, and more from an architect’s perspective.
